Sky Ain’t the Limit (Unreleased)

Let it roll baby Cruisin’ past streetlights, thinkin’ 'bout the old me Windows down, speakers loud, but I still feel lonely Used to dream in silence, now it echoes loud Took the long road home just to face the crowd Yeah I don’t flex what I ain’t lived Had nights where the hunger hit worse than the crib Mama workin' doubles, I was learnin' the codes Not the ones from the books, the ones you carry alone Yeah Felt shame when the lights cut Still prayed even when life ain’t light up Told myself I’m more than what they box me in Now I’m lacin’ verses over violins I’ve been runnin’ from myself too long Tryna fix what the world got wrong Every mile got a piece of me But it’s all I need to feel free Sky ain’t the limit when you’ve seen below I rose from the ashes they ain’t even know Carried that weight like a name I ain’t choose But I wear it proud like a well-earned bruise Sky ain’t the limit, I broke through that glass Now I ride on the rhythm of a pain that passed Ain’t searchin’ for perfect, just chasin’ some peace If the sky’s the end, then I’ll find release Used to count coins for the late-night fare Now it’s plane windows and that pressurized air But my brother still stuck, tryna make rent work Told him hold on, we gon’ rise from the dirt I spit for the ones who don’t get no voice Who ain’t had a stage, never got a choice Who learned how to move with a quiet rage And turned that fire into center stage I don’t need no permission to exist No approval for this grit I’ve bled for this peace And I’m done shrinkin’ just to fit They tried to cut me down But I rise in golden light They told me don’t make a sound Now my voice is taking flight Sky ain’t the limit when you’ve seen the ground Built from the silence, I still hear the sound Of a world that tried to make me small But I learned how to stand through it all Sky ain’t the limit Sky ain’t the limit No more…
