Rrr, rrr (Right) Time for us to reach for the skies Talk to 'em I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers Whenever I went through something, It brought me closer to God (Come on) And I stayed in somethin', so now I'm closer to God (Come on) But closer to his heart, the attacks get stronger (Uh-huh) Become much harder to fight, and they last longer (Yeah) That's what it's always been, joy with the pain (Rrr) Dark with the light (Rrr), sun with the rain (What?) But, with the right perspective there's somethin' to gain Look for the good and the bad, like the sun when it rains I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers I don't like better, better get you comfortable Comfort put you to sleep, even though it's up with you (What?) Hatin' our relationship, but what I love Hate it because it kills me, love it for what it does Every day I live, every day I die Don't always laugh but every day I cry Used to wonder why, now I enjoy the rain Be stronger with the struggle, can't live without the pain I just wanna be heard, fuck the fame My words will live forever, fuck my name Father God, please give me the strength I need I was born in the dirt, just like you planted the seed Let me grow I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers Put your hands high and touch the sky Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers Put your hands high and touch the sky Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers Breezes in the summer comin' sky In jungles through the life of flashin' lights Feel for the, feel for far away Reach for the sky Reach for the sky Reach for the sky Reach for the sky The sky is not in control of you
