Sky Lanterns

[Marissa Jerome]

They don't understand us, yeah

We don't look down, just up, yeah

Rise, we're fallin'

You know the tension is growin'

And everybody be hopin' that we just turn to ashes

Don't think we got it, they countin' on us to drop it

But we burn bright cause we know it

They hopin' we turn back like

We ain't like the world, we just livin' in the world like

Just let us do our thing

Killin' darkness as we speak, so

Ah-oh-ah-oh, we light up

Ah-oh-ah-oh, and look up

Ah-oh-ah-oh, just love, love, like

I'ma rise up in the end, what's the point of fitting in?

[Fern]

Yeah, really started from the bottom, from the bottom (sure did)

I told Rey and Marty that we got 'em, we got 'em, yeah

HillaryJane over Hillary Rodham, Hillary Rodham, yeah

The new school is here to take over the building and rearrange it

To re-decorate it

They see us, they think that we made it

But we keep it humble, save time on a spaceship

Used to flip rounds with myself, I was faded

Fifteen minutes, I was very creative

I knew that one day I would make it, that I would make it!

Cause I ain't tryna 35, broke and naked

So this is that flow that be tellin' them rappers that started rapping yesterday that it's over

Mind you we're north in the month of October

And Jersey, they picked us up in a Range Rover

Really started from the middle, it's crazy

Cause my flow since day one been amazing

But the favor of God is upon us

The only reason why we're killin' it, honest

[Marissa Jerome]

We ain't like the world, we just livin' in the world like

Just let us do our thing

Killin' darkness as we speak, so

Ah-oh-ah-oh, we light up

Ah-oh-ah-oh, and look up

Ah-oh-ah-oh, just love, love, like

I'ma rise up in the end, what's the point of fitting in?

[Martymar]

Been like this since I was just a kid

And I was runnin' with friends I knew for years

By the nickname and not the government

We definin' what ugly is, cause I never was a fan of the publishin'

All the magazines and the photoshop

Defend my city like I'm RoboCop

And hear the, bap-bap!

And I call the cops

And I just respond, I don't call the shots

I just follow God, I don't think too much

Cause if I do, that I might think it's us

And I'm all black in my fitted tux

Never been the type just to live it up

I want my family straight and my mom good

And if we could beat the odds then you should

I mean, I know what I'm doin', I know what I'm doin'

I know what I need

Doin' my thing, I'm doin' my thing for nobody to see

Cause nobody cares, nobody cares until they believe

Just follow your heart, follow your heart until you succeed

[Marissa Jerome]

We too busy shinin'

Like I diamond we never crack under pressure

Release us to the sky with the light as our disguise

Like a thousand sky lanterns ignite the night like ah-oh-ah-oh

Like ah-oh-ah-oh

Ignite the night like ah-oh-ah-oh, like ah-oh-ah-oh

Ignite the night like ah-oh-ah-oh, like ah-oh-ah-oh

Like a thousand sky lanterns
