Artist: Common f/ Makeba Riddick Album: The Dreamer/The Believer Song: Blue Sky Typed by: kirenamloh@msn.com [Intro: sample of "Mr. Blue Sky" by Eletric Light Orchestra] {"Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue S.." <- repeat 4X} {"Why you had to hide away for..." <- repeat 4x} [Common] Aston Martin King, Luther with dreams A young Denzel the way I move through scenes I'm like a preacher that once was a fiend A story of change that came with wings Pretty as the skyline, the sky is my eyeline Son of the Most, so from up high, I shine Suited in Prada, stay +'Mellow+ like LaLa Young fresh with dollas, ladies go +Gaga+ I'm the cum laude, top of the class Black Wall Street, so my stock'll never crash Given what I asked: pure religion and cash For the windows that open, I'm raising my glass Daylight beams, nightlife schemes This is my +Inception+, I'm writin my dreams Immortal view of a star, doin what I'm born to do I see the blue sky, say the Lord's coming through [Chorus: Makeba Riddick] Oh-oh-oh, in the sky we'll find the light Oh-oh-oh, ain't too high, we'll shine at night Now we in the skiiiiies, blue skiiiiies And we goin hiiigh-higher, that's right [Common] It all started with a dream, I wanted to be Run-D.M.C. The Lord put the blessing upon the emcee/M-C O to the M, dreams were spoken to him That's when I knew my flows would overflow to the rim Open my eyes, yessir~! This is what I'm made for To go hard in the paint, like D. Wade or D. Rose from the same streets that we rose International heroes at world primo's Red carpet magic, taking pictures with the president Told him for health care, my music is the medicine My name holds weight, I am never hesitant Different state resident, this is hood elegance SLS classin, pursuing my passion Known for fashion, now I'm Oscar party crashin Immortal view of a star, doin what I'm born to do I see the blue sky, say the Lord's coming through [Chorus] [Interlude] Ey, e-eh, eh, eh, hey {repeat 4X} [Common] (Makeba Riddick) Silhouettes of dreams that we had, ha! Even now, it don't seem so bad, ma Close my eyes to see things in front of me I'm GONE now, imagine what I'm gonna be! Dirty to worthy, now I'm all worldly My broad up in Paris, lookin all purdy Immortal view of a star, doin what I'm born to do I see the blue sky, say the Lord's coming through, ah! (Now we in the skiiiiies, blue skiiiiies And we goin hiiigh-higher, that's right) So live, get 'em high [Bridge: Makeba Riddick] I had these dreams in my head of an endless fear I could see it from my window Wouldn't take that long to get me there Keep running 'til I can go But all of the beautiful things that life could give me Crazy how I'm the one Could've been anywhere, but I'm sitting in the air With the wheels up staring at the sun [Chorus]
