Heads To The Sky

歌詞

Keep ya head to the sky [Isam] Back in 1965 in motherlands street cafe Where young men were sitting down Drinking coffee till this brother came in You could tell by the look at his face That he had something that he wanted to share A story told by a brother to another Bout havin a lotta money and beer See everybody who gathered around this special man that Sunday night Left the café with a dream about being the one to reach this paradise Among these playas was this guy who came from the country side In love with a beautiful city girl But didn't have what her daddy required And since life was too cold, land was too dry He decided to pack his suitcase And leave without ever never saying bye Couldn't look at his mother Cuz she didn't want him to leave her sweet motherland But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do So he said "Mama, I'll be back again" Then he crossed the sea in the words of God Hoping to get on the right way Get his part, meet his demands, pray Fulfill his heart, taking a chance Grow all alone in the whole new world Keep ya head to the sky Every man got a story to tell about how he made it into this world Keep ya head to the sky Every man got a story to tell about how he made it into this world [Waqas] A new beginning As soon as he touched ground He heard a sound saying his life was about to turn upside down As fast as he could he got settled with some fellow country men Who had already giving in for gambling, alcohol, and women But they were all in the same boat Left home with the same hope Learned from each other's mistakes and then they coped Mr. Dishwasher, factory worker Compared to where he came from, this job right here was pure luxury He was no fool though Shit he used his mind as his tool Working his ass of all day, at nighttime he went to school Language is power as the years flew on by He went back home to make the love of his life for his wife Talking about good shit, now lets talk about something bad Lets talk about this fucked up situation one night he had Police pulled him over Thought he was drunk when he was sober Then they thought the car was stolen when the fact was it was his Rover "Mr. Officer, why you be harassing my ass?" He said, "I pulled you over because your black ass was going too fast" Suddenly insecurity came upon his face just like a flash Was this really the type of future he would like his kids to have? Keep ya head to the sky Every man got a story to tell about how he made it into this world Keep ya head to the sky Every man got a story to tell about how he made it into this world [Isam] See daddy came Daddy saw Daddy took Daddy got what he gave A new home and new fam And a new working place is what he gained Gave his kids what he didn't have as a child "You go for the gold" The opportunity to be whatever they may desire "You get on a role" Bilingual and beautiful Could there be a sweeter pie I think not But I'll let you decide In the future Inshallah Every man got a story to tell about how he made it into this world Keep ya head to the sky Every man got a story to tell about how he made it into this world Keep ya head to the sky Every man got a story to tell about how he made it into this world Keep ya head to the sky Every man got a story to tell about how he made it into this world
