Big Sean - Dark Sky (Skyscrapers)

I see the skyscrapers
in the back
this shit is official
I got a lot on my mind
I got more in my face
If I ain't going to get it
that day is going to waste
I'm tryna move in my safe
like the safe was a safehouse
I ain't going out to eat
but these hoes
stay on the stakeout
And you know it's official
when I go bringing
that BAPE out
I'm thumbing through the
magazines like this the girl
I'mma take out
Imagine stuck in the D and
you tryna find a way way out
And yeah your music been
bumping and you just
waiting to break out
And I've been waiting
all god damn year all year
I can tell that it's near
but near ain't here
Man them bills is here right now
I guess you shine brightest
when the lights down like now
And then they say it happened
for me overnight shit
yeah I guess
I guess it took ten years for me
to be an overnight success
What you know about
living check to check
to living check to check
to check to check
First place no neck and neck
Two girls is breast to breast to
breast to breast
Blowing smoke but I'm a
breath of fresh air
Yeah saying I'm doing extra
numbers like I'm Chinese
Taking double shots like Siamese
I'm from where crime breeds
her titties out like sign these
I knew I lived this life back
when I was young and
used to climb trees
I should've known back then
I wasn't gonna stop
Cause even then I was infatuated
with just sitting at the top
I said I should've known back
then man that I
wasn't gonna stop
Cause even then I was infatuated
with just sitting at the top
And I don't owe nobody
in the world no favors
I started from the basement
made it to the skyscrapers
I'm a successful nigga
I got shit going on
I'm a successful Don
I got shit going on
And I don't owe nobody
in the world no favors
I started from the basement
made it to the skyscrapers
I'm a successful nigga
I got shit going on
I'm a successful Don
I got shit going on
Bitch watch how you
speak to me
I've been working all week
and I know I need ZZZZs
Tryna get paid repeatedly
Jamaica or Cancun
oh now that's where I need to be
Credit card used to be EBT
in the D though that's D EBT
I be thinking about
becoming a cop
So I can murder some niggas
one by one off legally
I talk that real shit but
that's why they loving it
One time for the city
treating it like it's the mothership
Was talking to my dad
though on some other shit
He like man slow down with
the girls you're fucking with
If they ain't a quarter back
there's no point of rushing it
Don't make the same mistakes
I made with your mother
But that's on some
other shit look
I'm into risk and taking it
I'm into making it thinkin
back then make it like
I ain't made it yet
This the rehab for a workaholic
I been thinking bout shaking it
I done had a Rolex longer
than I had relationships
I'm embarrassed to say that shit
But I've been working on myself
and that's the most important work
Even if you don't get paid for it
Shit call me the greatest
Don't call up no favours
I call up my saviour
Like thank you God
look at all we created
I started rapping Biggie Smalls
in the basement
And now we headed to
the tallest skyscrapers
