Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]And you [Em]say New York City
Uh- huh, put your hands together
[Am]Young, [Em]uh- huh, [Am]yeah[Em]
Uh- huh, yes (yes) I'm
[Am]from the '80s
Home of the heroin
[Em]Era of t[Am]he hustlers, uh
The world [Em]is my [Am]custy
New Rich Porter
The way I flip quarters
Front on all these other
rap artist[Em]s, but me
[Ebm]Mama was a [Em]mink wearer
Papa ran numbers
So it's plain to see where my whole
plan come [Am]from
American dream
[Em]I'm living the life stil[Am]l
Way [Em]I shine is like a zillion dollar light bill
Still I'm grinding, army jacket lining
40 below Timbs on,
getting my M's [Am]on
My best friends gone, I seen bad days
I still find songs that I [Em]hear him [Am]on
Getting my Mary J. Blige Reminisce on
I hear his voice in [Em]my mind
like, nigga live on
So I get on that fly shit I been on
Spin on corners in Enzo with rims on
But [Am]for your in[Em]fo,
puffing on En[Am]do- N[Em]esia
Give me amnesia
I ease up, that's right, I'm high, nigga
I want the sky
The world when I'm done
I'ma give it to my son
[Am]Let him live it up, split it up,
switch it up, uh
Sixes kit it up, man I did it up, done
The rest of my belongings
belong [Em]in the hall of fame
A list of hits next to all my names
I came (woo)

[Verse 2]
Uh- huh [Am]I
[Em]want the sky, [Am]baby
I want the [Em]sky, baby

[Verse 3]
[Em]
If the sky should fall
And it all [Am]goes tomorrow
and they fore[Em]close
On the house and auc[Am]tion off all my cars
[Em]Don't cry [Am]for me Argentina
I mobbed [Em]in the Beamer[Am]
Took trips abroad, [Em]got mobbed in Sardina
In Ibiza, I had pizza in the club
Ladies know I'm that guy
They wanna piece of my love
[Am]Now they wanna d[Em]o your boy
like Mike in his prime
[Am]Billie [Em]Jean, the goddamn boy ain't mine
And the Roc break up,
had the people losing hope
Can't lie they had Muhammad
Hovi on the ropes
[Am]Now I'm back in the go mode,
back in the go- go's
Throwing the diamond up,
reppin' the logo
Rose gold rose flow
[Em]I'm okay [Am]though
What [Em]don't kill me makes
stronger than before so
Here we go and I'm not domino
When it all falls down
I'm like Kanye's jaw
I might break [Am]but I don't fold 'til
I hold the sky in my hand
[Em]Yeah, that's my goal
And then I bid you Freddy Adu
Prodigal Child,
y'all not ready for [Am]the fu- ture, ture
Then I [Em]disappear in [Am]the Bermuda Triangle
[Em]My name will b[Am]e viewed such
Here's [Em]to the man
[Am]who refused to give up
I want the sky [Em]nigga, church

[Verse 4]
[Am]
I want the sky, baby
I [Em]want the sky, baby
