[Intro]

Yeah

A man of my word

Word to the man who's sitting above

Devising a plan

It's all gonna work, it's just who I am

Forget who I was and please understand


[Chorus]

I'm up in the sky

No way around it cause now I'm that guy

All the demand I've been tryna supply

All of these hands want a piece of the pie

All of y'all asking me how, asking me why

I even bother and I even try

Y'all wouldn't last a night living this life

Winning's a drug and I live on a high

Yeah


[Verse]

Straight to the basket I'm dunking not passing it

Switch up the game and I launch it like Kaepernick

Switch it again, I'm at bat with it back with a massive hit

None of em accidents

I could be singing or rapping it

She told mе she likes my voice with a rasp in it

Told hеr keep saying my name, got her dragging it

Told me she want me to say and she adamant

Sold all my free time and now I can't manage it

Too many ventures they all need my hand in it

Couple of cons when you play the protagonist

Nothing is adequate

Upped my degrees I'm a graduate

Redefined passionate

I use the fear as a catalyst

Catalog looking immaculate

Who could imagine it?

I could so that's why it's happening

Bitch

I walk in a room and I stand out

They meet me and turn to a fan now

Cause everything I sat and planned out

Is finally going to plan now

A slap on the wrist for the handouts

My head's above water I swam out

And made that shit seem like a damn drought

Don't think y'all fully understand now

I'm blackin on tracks with a tan now

So greet me respectfully and bow

I'ma still be the guy that I am now

But it's hard to not feel like the man now

I swear its' no question, hands down

I went to the stage from the stands now

I'm out-standing so I stand out

Not out standing, I'm


[Chorus]

Up in the sky

No way around it cause now I'm that guy

All the demand I've been tryna supply

All of these hands want a piece of the pie

All of y'all asking me how, asking me why

I even bother and I even try

Y'all wouldn't last a night living this life

Winning's a drug and I live on a high

Yeah


[Verse]

This shit not easy I make it look easy

Fruits of my labor keep everything peachy

Young with the money I'm feeling like Weezy

Weezy F baby the F is for Faaris

Don't call me a rapper no more I'm an artist

I paint with a purpose, my pen is the sharpest

It cuts through the noise and it hits where the heart is

I chase what I want and I get it regardless

I'm growing my stock and I'm crashing the markets

Invest while you can I'ma guarantee profit

I pray for the wins, even more for the losses

I learn from the L's and I do it again

Making my mark like a cut on the skin

Started from scratch I've been itching to win

Hammer the nails of the coffin you in

Yeah

My life is a movie I just gotta render it

Promise that you're gonn wanna stay till the end of it

Cause I'm not stopping until all the people around me are reaping the benefits

I got the key who could stop me now?

Too locked in can't lock me out

Floatin on beats, sting with the heat

Step in the ring, can't knock me out


[Chorus]

I'm up in the sky

No way around it cause now I'm that guy
