Sky High (2023)

[Chorus: Xander Goodheart & Chris Webby]

I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life

I stare down at my view, what a 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 (Sky high)

I got here on my own time

Ain't have a doubt in my mind

That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High, yeah)

[Verse 1: Chris Webby]

To live like I do, it's 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 thesе

Snakes comin', tryna take from it

So I went from rockin' a rеtainer 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'll mention me

Like Walt and Jesse all on account of the way this pen and me

Have 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

[Chorus: Xander Goodheart]

I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life

I stare down at my view, what a 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 (Sky high)

I got here on my own time

Ain't have a doubt in my mind

That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High)

[Verse 2: Chris Webby]

So high, oh my, I be gone with the wind

They see Webby go by and don't want it with him

Wear a hat to keep the limelight off of the brim

All while I continue followin' my callin' 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 Jolteon 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 readin' from the mark of the slap

Sayin', "This line means Chris might be crazy"

Just slightly, 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 they 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

[Chorus: Xander Goodheart]

I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life

I stare down at my view, what a 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 (Sky high)

I got here on my own time

Ain't have a doubt in my mind

That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High)
