[Intro]
{*HBO TV logo sound*}
Ladies and gentlemen
Captain Al Thompson has turned off the no smoking sign
And you are free to smoke at this time
Please refrain from smoking in the aisles, the lavatories
And the non-smoking areas of this cabin

[Chorus: Sample]
I was sitting up above the clouds
Then one day you just came soaring by
Then my life just took a sudden turn
It's hard to swallow but you live and learn
I was sitting up above the clouds
Then one day you just came soaring by

[Verse 1: Red Cafe]
Yeah, let me breathe on it
Light it up 'til we hit the roof
'Til that coconut CÎROC got 'em getting loose
We above 'em all, now they wan' call a truce
But I'm quarterbacking, busy calling audibles
Cruising through the finish line
I'm still eating dinner baby, I ain't finished mine
Ev'rybody want the throne, y'all get in line
I'm comfortable, I got a dime and I got a nine, whassup?
I'm sitting way above the clouds
Like I'm on the stage, and I'm above the crowd
Preach capital game in the microphone
Fin' to tell these halfway crooks leave the mic alone, nigguh!
Y'all killing the feeling
Got a n***a ready to go back killing 'em dealing
Meanwhile, I'm still letting the kush burn...
[Chorus: Sample]
Then my life just took a sudden turn
It's hard to swallow but you live and learn
I was sitting up above the clouds
Then one day you just came soaring by

[Red Cafe - over Chorus]
And I've been doing this for a long time
My grind strong
I'm putting that work in, as you should
So while I'm sitting on this cloud lighting up
Breathe, bitch!

[Verse 2: Red Cafe]
Everybody judging me - I guess it's a contest
Yeah, and I see the victory right in front of me
I turn back and trip 'em with no conscience
I know, no class, no sportsmanship
With that attitude I see no fortune, shit
But ask me if I give a fuck
I'm still winning and they calling it beginner's luck
Riding 'round in a bulletproof tinted truck
I know they got love, but shit, they might hit it up
Yeah, just to get a name, just to get the fame
But all the hoes screaming they just wanna get Jermaine
They know I got it and I spent it
I get money ev'ry day, ain't none of this rented, ah
I gotta get it, gotta finish to earn...
[Chorus: Sample]
Then my life just took a sudden turn
It's hard to swallow but you live and learn
I was sitting up above the clouds
Then one day you just came soaring by

[Red Cafe - over Chorus]
I mean I feel like we on a victory lap
Celebration is definitely in order
All my G's light up
Ladies I'ma pop these bottles and um

[Outro: Red Cafe]
We gon' drink away the pain, believe that
I mean it's a beautiful day, huh?
We above the clouds
I'm looking down on more than a n***a, girl, ha ha
Ahhh, yeah don't mind me I just got, I just got that grease n***a
N***a taught me that grease, believe that
Like I was saying this a celebration
Ladies and gentlemen, n***as and bitches
Pimps and hoes, we gon' get right to it
This is Red Cafe, reporting to you live
Shakedowwwwwwwn!
