Vanilla Skies by KING Karlemagne Lyrics
[Intro]
Oooooo (Uhn)
Yeah
[Verse 1]
The biggest understatement’s saying life is not fair
Cause I still can’t figure out how I got here
And I do try to fight it but the power’s not there
So it’s fuck the world and I shout it out, yeah
Me pouting that’s rare; see I defy the odds
So I created some when I got denied a job
Been real all my life, and I wouldn’t die a fraud
Still stomp your flame out, like a fire fighter’s job
Check my dialog, I am years ahead of them
Slick, razor sharp, and I’m better with the pen
Seen so much pain I was a veteran at ten
My warrior’s mind state’s been imbedded ever since
Every lesson is a gem so learn from your past pains
No picture’s perfect every color has stains
Keep a small crew cause the phony cats attract lames
When you gain from losses, there is no need to have shame
[Hook]
Just let me get lost
In vanilla skies
While everyone near me’s
Just standing by
Can’t seem find joy
And can’t answer why
I’m growing weary
Just standing by
[Verse 2]
I’d rather get lost cause it’s better than my real life
If was there I would have signed my record deal twice
I’d get six cars and a house on hill, nice
Pulling threesomes just because I have a chill wife
It’ll feel nice but it’s far from the truth
So to get there I’m going hard in booth
In my heart I can do whatever that I please
Been a stand up guy so I’m never on my knees
I won’t beg and I won’t plea, built tough from my battles
My little homie Mike has to walk through that path too
His stories take me back to, the rides on the school bus
Getting picked on all we had was the two of us
But at least I had someone to share the pain with
Mike is by himself as he has to clear the same shit
His mother isn’t there so I tell him be strong
This too shall pass, it won’t be long
[Hook]
Just let me get lost
In vanilla skies
While everyone near me’s
Just standing by
Can’t seem find joy
And can’t answer why
I’m growing weary
Just standing by
[Verse 3]
My uncle Ado died at the of nineteen
Couldn’t heal his disease never mind a crime scheme
Guess he got to escape this we world find mean
His problems were twice way worst than mine seem
He was grandma’s last born, and her only boy too
I know she’s strong cause that pain would destroy you
Widowed early on, and her daughter brought me joy too
I’d buy my aunty time if I could afford to
I am loyal, so I’m traveling to stand by her
The weight I’m carrying doesn’t get a gram lighter
I am tired, but until I leave the earth
I’ll keep pushing like a woman giving birth
I remember when dudes would talk about how Karl suck
A few clips later, they see me as a star cause
My shit is hot as coffee, delivery brings star bucks
You want a good reception then go on get your bars up
[Hook]
Just let me get lost
In vanilla skies
While everyone near me’s
Just standing by
Can’t seem find joy
And can’t answer why
I’m growing weary
Just standing by
Oooooo (Uhn)
