Lyrics

Hm, hmmm
 Look up in the sky
 Look up in the sky
 Look up in the sky, (Sky, sky, sky)
 You thought I was down
 You thought I was gone
 Thought I wasn't around
 That I left you alone
 Well, look up in the sky
 (Look up in the sky)
 Just look up in the sky
 (Just look up in the sky)
 See that I'm everywhere, everywhere
 Shining down on you
 Well, well, is that our little author?
 Coming back, humming his hymns a little altered
 Your attention put back on the flow like the department of water
 Taken off of the dough like Little Walter, chess
 Yes, baby I'm Jerry Lawler
 Rebel with a cause, outlaw with a lawyer
 Judge, jury like Alou, rap name Lupe
 But my daddy named me warrior, this is his memorial
 You thought I was down
 You thought I was gone
 Thought I wasn't around
 That I left you alone
 Well, look up in the sky
 (Look up in the sky)
 Just look up in the sky
 (Just look up in the sky)
 See that I'm everywhere, everywhere
 Shining down on you
 No, I ain't the nigga trying to get a liquor line
 When I be scrippin' lines, want this petition sign
 It says I'm sick of dyin', sick of this prison time
 I really love my people, I'm sick of pimpin' mine
 Now, if we Auto-Tune that shit
 We can hear the songs from that opera-groomed fat bitch
 Tellin' us not to pursue it, just to shoo it like a blacksmith
 We're trapped, and movin' round in circles like it's Chapstick
 And that's the same encircled way of thinking that we chat with
 Well, wrap this around your head like the bandanas
 Fabolous used to wrap his hats with, rather be in feds
 Instead of National Geographics, well I'm not havin' it, no
 You thought I was down
 You thought I was gone
 Thought I wasn't around
 That I left you alone
 Well, look up in the sky
 (Look up in the sky)
 Just look up in the sky
 (Just look up in the sky)
 See that I'm everywhere, everywhere
 Shining down on you
 So I say hello and this is for the third time
 To everybody out there who ain't never heard mine
 And if you have then you know you ain't ever heard lyin'
 Lu don't moo, no cowards, you only heard lines
 Not a facade cherisher, I'd rather have the scars
 I don't idolize America, I'm dancing with the stars
 Uh huh, all of them, yeah they are too
 You look up and you see us shining down on you
 You thought I was down
 You thought I was gone
 Thought I wasn't around
 That I left you alone
 Well, look up in the sky
 (Look up in the sky)
 Just look up in the sky
 (Just look up in the sky)
 See that I'm everywhere, everywhere
 Shining down on you
 Shining down on you
 Shining down on you (you)
 Shining down on you (you, you)
