The say
"Jay, you hardly ever come around this way
Used to hang daily, I remember it like yesterday
You should've been there, you were missing from the crew
Grew a little beard, now you look like an old fool
JK."

Ok, you're funny
Let me start from the beginning
I know it's hard to understand
But I just really hope you get it
Let it sink in
See, I was drained by the pain when I went missing
Chained to the everyday, same things and mundane
I had a teen spirit, had to end it like Cobain
Looking for a place, and escape where there was no rain
You see, I had to get away
‘Cause every day I grew impatient
Wondering where the days went
Complacent
Pacing, thinking to myself when I grew anxious
Pleading, asking, tearing, “Dear lord, won’t you take us?”
Ok, you might be right
See, I was out of sight
But I’ve been looking for myself
Through all the days when I’d

Kick back and fade away
I’d side-step, crossover into memory lane
Gotta playback and replay that track
Over and over
What an iced-out past, I gave it a cold shoulder
I would…

Kick back and watch as the world passes me by
I’ll never feel that good forever
You know, time ain’t on your side
Try to recognize
The life you most desire’s
Never bound to arrive
Until you reach for the sky

Reach for the sky
Get ‘em high

Throw your palms up high
You should reach for the sky

And reach for the sky
Get ‘em high
So high
And reach for the sky

I’ve been running for so long
Was trying to catch my breath and hold on
Was so gone
Soul was so wrong
A heartbeat with no song or peace to hold strong
Pleading, “make it leave”
Made a plea on a cold dawn
What I really need to be is a pro with no cons
They’re trying to find their limelight but getting a photon
I just want a part; get my heart and my soul on
Praying for a house, picket fence, and a mowed lawn
Until they went ahead and took us
Grabbed us by the ankle, flipped around
Upside down when they shook us
And that’s when plans started cooking
Some began to grow
But all I had was ink; I just had to let it flow
So, I cultivate my craft
And I call it homegrown
I was plotting in my room ‘till my speakers both blown
So alone in my zone
I’m trying to save the world not a seat on a throne
Then I can…

Kick back and watch as the world passes me by
I’ll never feel that good forever
You know, time ain’t on your side
Try to recognize
The life you most desire’s
Never bound to arrive
Until you reach for the sky

Reach for the sky
Get ‘em high

Throw your palms up high
You should reach for the sky

And reach for the sky
Get ‘em high
So high
And reach for the sky
