Below The Clouds

[Sample] So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way [Intro] Shout to Guru, Inspectah Deck, Primo Y'all dudes don't belong up here with us Nah, stay down there [Sample] So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way [Verse 1: Masta Ace] The rules of thumb, all you fish chum dudes are dumb Where you from? Matter of fact, tell me who you brung? We outnumber y'all bums like two-to-one This tobacco dip spit, y'all just chew some gum I bring the pain like a sharp spike through the tongue I'm Marshawn, fourth and one, on a bruising run You the type, plan a heist but you lose the gun I'm the type, stand and fight while you choose to run (punk) This ain't a sprint, it's a marathon I used to buy fatigues up at Paragon My voice fill the room like I'm Sarah Vaughn Got 'em all scared like I had a bomb (shook) Got 'em all scared like a paranorm' They shit-talking to themselves like they're mad at mom I got the dough, I got the cheese, I'm the pizza plug All these dusty-ass thugs, time to beat the rug He on Instagram acting like he needs a hug But it all goes down when we reach the club Marco Polo, that's my secret weapon You don't like it, you can keep it stepping Go get some stamps on your passport So you can see firsthand all the people checking These pop dudes making soda proud On stage but they don't know the crowd That's because they live below the clouds [Sample] So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way [Chorus] Get your head out the clouds This song fill your head and it's loud I know you wanna make your mama proud But you gotta get your head up out the clouds, boy Get your head out the clouds Get your head out the clouds Just another head in the crowd You gotta get your head up out the clouds [Verse 2: Blu] Live from the 'la, I light up the lye like "take me high" To the sky, and I'm not coming back until my raps make me fly Over crowds, til I'm up in the clouds And I'm not coming down Fuck touching the ground after puffing some loud Busting style after style Clap a clown down 'til the ground collapse, I Wanted a crown for a while Even a house that Feels like a castle and not something small like a mousetrap My Warner check bounced but I bounced back All my life I just wanted a major deal I planned out everything I would do when I make a mil' Buy my mom a house, big enough to fit her ten kids As a kid, I would say "I'mma make it big when I get big" Spent twenty years putting music out But getting dropped brought me down to earth cause at first my head was through the clouds Thinking I'mma be rich and famous, which seems aimless When you tryna make it outta the basement, you need a spaceship To blast outta poverty, enter some prosperity Rarely do the bomb MCs blow It's not fair, it seems embarrassing The main thing we share with the teens is carry a heat to bury your peeps Hating on the way you carry bling Yo, I'm married to this thing called rap, a fat wedding ring I said some things to get me claps I said things that will get me clapped But everything came from the heart, straight from the start If I felt it was getting tainted then I would break it apart It's all love, and I know my blessings come from up above But it was... [Sample] So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way [Chorus] Get your head out the clouds This song fill your head and it's loud I know you wanna make your mama proud But you gotta get your head up out the clouds, boy Get your head out the clouds Get your head out the clouds Just another head in the crowd You gotta get your head up out the clouds [Sample] I looked at clouds that way So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way
