Soul In The Sky

"Soul In The Sky"

3-15



Verse 1:

Now, I know I wasn't alive to see it happen

And I know I was around yet to see what's crackin'

But it don't mean that I can't talk or rap about it

Matter fact, go to my rooftop and just shout it

I love my big brother who's in Heaven now

Now, lemme clear my throat cause the pain's settin' now

Everytime I think about it, I wonder I'm ready now

Cause just speakin' 'bout it gots my hope gettin' down;

And I will never forget what this about

Cause losin' and forgettin' my brother I WILL DISAVOW

Or was it my sister; It'll be a mystery

Makes me sad, but dying with pure innocence's a victory

But that is all history; but history goes on eternally

Damn, but this could be the path that God picked for me

But I ain't lettin' nothin' drag me down

Cause the innocent soul in the sky lives through me



//Chorus//

//...I keep searching' for you and...

...I don't know where to look...

...and I'm lost...



...I just know I want you here...

...the innocent soul in the sky...

...ooooohhhhh...

...innocent soul in the sky...//



Verse 2:

My only biological sibling is somewhere up above

I wish I could see your face; singin' about you ain't enough

God, I beg you to please open up the sky

And let me see my sibling in the eye

Big bro or big sis, I hope you can hear this

Your beautiful spirit allows me to be fearless, and helps me to resist;

And in the midst of everything that ceases to exist, you enable me to persist

I hope that one day when it's time for me to go away

I'll go with you to paradise and hear everything you got to say

There's so many things that I wanna say to you

But until then I will just have to pray to you

Lookin' forward to the day I got to the ultimate venue

With you; and after Seven years of pain, happiness'll continue

And only you and God know exactly all I've been through

And I desire the same purity that's in you



//Chorus//

//...I keep searching' for you and...

...I don't know where to look...

...and I'm lost...



...I just know I want you here...

...the innocent soul in the sky...

...ooooohhhhh...

...innocent soul in the sky...//



Verse 3:

The first time I knew about you, you automatically entered my heart

I felt a part of you inside my soul so now I feel whole

You filled up the hole that was killin' me so you, I'll extol

I'm sorry that my dad, your life; he stole

 I can feel your presence surrounding me as I write this

Your being is so extraordinary and so righteous

No one could ever replace you as my big bro

Even though you did go so long ago

What hurts the most is that you could be my sis and I wouldn't know

 Big sister, I'll look up to you from down below

This song is dedicated only for you

And the same path you took to the sky, I will persue

I'm sorry for our father who didn't accept your blessing

Goddamn, this hurts so much that I am now stressing

I'm obsessing; so I'm addressing that I'm confessing

All the pain I have inside and the reason this is so depressing



//Chorus//

//...I keep searching' for you and...

...I don't know where to look...

...and I'm lost...



...I just know I want you here...

...the innocent soul in the sky...

...ooooohhhhh...

...innocent soul in the sky...//



///Outro://

///I just wish I knew you, bro...

Sis, I promise you'll always be in my heart...

I'm looking forward to the day we meet...

Bro... Sis...

...I LOVE YOU...
