Dark Sky (Skyscrapers) - Big Sean

Sean, it’s good to be home, isn’t it?

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 Imma 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, oh yeah

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 'bout 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

Yes, and 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 gon' 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 gon' 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

Said, «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, now that’s where I need to be

Credit card used to be EBT, in the D though that’s D-EBT

I’ve been thinking about becoming a cop

So I can murk 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 then get back to making 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
