"sky high (2023)" lyrics
(feat. Xander Goodheart)
[Xander Goodheart:]
I'm sittin' at the top tonight
Its about to be that way for life
I stare down at my view of the beautiful sight
Long days and lonely nights
That's how I got to this height
It got me livin' in the limelight
I've been sittin' sky high
I got it on my own time
Ain't have a doubt in my mind
That I've been sittin' sky high
[Chris Webby:]
Yeah
To live like I do
Its a dream come true
From broke as hell to these bills I thumb through
Yeah, so sky high ain't no calls come through
Caught a loss or two but that's the cost of the view
Independent royalty
Go and check the royalties
Every quarterly is up and up as I see more of these
Snakes comin', tryna take from it
So I went from rockin' a retainer to my retainer payin' my lawyer fee
Boy are these times I live in surreal
From vacuum sealin' zips that I deal
To vacuumin' floors in my house on the hill
With a sale price set over a mil'
Shit feel like I'm livin' someone else's life
Count my blessings every single time I go to bed at night
To keep my head on right
Yeah, my specs on
Uncle June when I set my sights
As I'm whippin' with a Betty White 'bout to catch a flight
In my late seventies as a faded celebrity
Lookin' back on memories
Livin' on what they netted me
As I'm tellin' these incredible stories embedded on the halls of history
The hieroglyphics show a legacy of legendary energy
Now the scholars gon' mention me
Like Walt and Jesse
All on the counter the way this pen in me
You built the kind of chemistry that no chemist has ever seen
It was all a dream back in '17
Now we in the sky so-so-so
[Xander Goodheart:]
I'm sittin' at the top tonight
Its about to be that way for life
I stare down at my view of the beautiful sight
Long days and lonely nights
That's how I got to this height
It got me livin' in the limelight
I've been sittin' sky high
I got it on my own time
Ain't have a doubt in my mind
That I've been sittin' sky high
[Chris Webby:]
So high, oh my
I be gone with the wind
They see Webby go by
And don't want it with him
Where I had to keep the limelight off of the brim
All while I continue followin' my call, all within
And I ain't fallin' again, shit I've fallen a lot
But I'm still givin' this motherfucker all that I got
Went from callin' out of work
Now I'm callin' the shots
Went from the underground with the sound
Crawled to the top
They all are in shock like [?] is on the attack
I channel focus like I'm Obi-Wan
Go off and relax
Either that or resort to react
And smack 'em so hard they'll do a palm read in front the market of slap
Sayin', this line means Chris might be crazy
Just like Lee, switch my speed, racing
Thoughts in my brain which might mean lately
I've been losin' every single marble God gave me
This has been the manager, the writer and performer
Sometimes I feel like I painted myself right into a corner
And I'm somewhere on the border of several different disorders
But I keep myself in order while pleasin' all my supporters
Now I'm stacking like a hoarder whose out of room in their drawers
And all I do is record
But everyone want a seat in the musical chair
Until it's you on the floor
All of these stupid awards
All the reviews and rewards
Ain't what we doin' it for, so
[Xander Goodheart:]
I'm sittin' at the top tonight

I stare down at my view of the beautiful sight
Long days and lonely nights
That's how I got to this height
It got me livin' in the limelight

I've been sittin' sky high
