I'll Be In The Sky Lyrics
I'll be in the sky
I'll be there
Ooh, all right (x2)
I'll be in the sky
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
I'll be in the sky (x2)
Remember when I leave
That the one in the mirror ain't me
It's just someone that I call B.O.B
It's kinda me but it's not
It's just a mask that I got
So that I can rap and get off my block
Reminiscing my past when I was a toddler
Sitting in grass and playing with blocks
Failing my classes, now I'm on lockdown
Now writin and readin a lot
Money and weed is in my shoe box now
While I'm tryna get me a glock
'Cause I thought I was at the end of my line
Then I find out it was all in my mind
That's why I'm here to end all the fear
We all gon' die and leave from here like
I was a man with no name
Now I'm attributing mo fame
But all of this ain't gonna matter when I'ma die and say goodbye so long
Sayonara, I'll have to catch you tomorrow, baby, 'cause, baby,
I'll be in the sky
I'll be there
Ooh, all right (x2)
I'll be in the sky
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
I'll be in the sky (x2)
Everyone here gonna die one day
So while I'm here, I'ma find my way
That's my forte
That's why I'm here
Shit to open up your ears
And speak this real
Beatin' down the block with a shoot ya
The gold teeth don't really match with the suit
Nowadays folk would rather rap than go to school
'Cause they feel that if they black then they gotta have it too,
But y'all don't really seen that there
After all everybody wanna kick back
They wanna sit back
They wanna sip Goose
They wanna get down
They wanna get loose
They wanna get blown
They wanna see the truth
They wanna get old just like you
But since they ain't nobody gon' be responsible
I'ma gonna have to be the one to show
I was a man with no name
Now I'm attributing mo fame
But all of this ain't gonna matter when I'ma die and say goodbye so long
Sayonara, I'll have to catch you tomorrow, baby, 'cause, baby,
I'll be in the sky
I'll be there
Ooh, all right (x2)
I'll be in the sky
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
I'll be in the sky (x2) sky
[x2]
I'll be there
Ooh, all right
I'll be there (x4)
I'll be there
Ooh, all right (x2)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
I'll be in the sky (x2)

very outkast-esque, even running the alien theme in the music video too :P This song is definitely talking about the facade and alternative "face" that he put on to achieve fame. After putting the alternate "face" on he morphs into a stereotypical pop star, such as dare I say it, soulja boy; failing classes, getting high, "getting money". The chorus reminds us that as we die, the superficial and pointless fortunes will be obsolete, while making a difference is what the modern artists should strive for. The next verse reflects the garbage spewed by modern day rappers; talking about their futile wealth, getting high, complete irresponsibility. attempting to create reform, Bobby Ray talks about the responsibility he must bear, and how he must lead by example. He hopes that he might have made a difference in his lifetime. hope this helps :D
i love this song!!!!
Coming to terms with mortality.
And the line is "they wanna sip Jack," not "they wanna sit back"
I like this song. It sounds like "B.O.B." by Outkast.
