    Jamal:
    Open your eyes to what you love to hate
    You're up in the sky but you ain't flying straight
    Where do I go when I can't go home?
    'Cause you sold it, and you lost yourself and you are just no more
    Take every piece, every piece of me
    Whatever you need, my mind is changing
    And I can't hide no, but you know where I'll be
    Mother
    And I know
    I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built for it
    But now that I can see it, damn right I'm really made for this
    Chasing the sky, trying to fly
    And now I see
    Just why you had to be so hard for me
    You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
    Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high
    Hakeem:
    Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is
    Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
    It's like we can't even get along, who right and who in the wrong?
    Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics
    I tell you shut up, you tell me be quiet, too much dysfunction
    Cut up like we at a riot, kicking and punching
    Ain't nobody here to mediate it
    And you would think that we wasn't even related
    Why are we even throwing blows in the first place?
    We fight at cook outs, picnics and birthdays
    I tried to give the benefit but in the worst case
    You keep on talking smack, you end up with a hurt face
    And we tried everything, it's time for plan B
    If Bloods and Crips can reconcile, why can't we?
    I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa
    I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly
    Lucious:
    Far from a perfect man
    The fights and the lies , I guess you never understand
    A mother and father who wanted for you much more than
    Life is a slight of hand, if you hate it today( Jamal)
    And my love for you, is the one thing that is true
    Jamal:
    Going all alone, I can't even trust all the people here inside my home
    And if you were my brother, then never let it get so wrong
    That you turn your back on what we were
    Turn your back on me, on your family, no
    Jamal & Lucious:
    I know
    I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built for it
    But now that I can see it, damn right I'm really made for this
    Chasing the sky, trying to fly
    And now I see
    Just why you had to be so hard for me
    You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
    Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high

    Open your eyes
    To what you love to hate
    You're up in the sky
    But you ain't flying straight
    Where do I go?
    When I can't go home?
    'Cause you sold it
    And you lost yourself in you are just no more
    Take every piece
    Every piece of me

    Mother
    And I know
    I said I didn't need it
    I said I wasn't built for it
    But now that I can see it
    Damn right, I'm really made it for this
    Chasing the sky, trying to fly
    (Yeah, trying to fly)
    And now I see
    Just why you had to be so hard on me
    You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
    Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly
    So high, so high, so high
    Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is
    Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
    It's like we can't even get along
    Who right and who in the wrong?

U turn ur back on me, why u turn ur back on me, I am ur family. That part hit me because my brother told me he'd never leave me n it's been five years since he took his life. This song helps me keep going n keeping his memory alive

      I’m sorry for your pain and I know I’m gonna get some hate for the saying this but I have severe depression so I understand your brother or whatever at the other day or at least that’s what she made it sound like he did but at the end the day one thing even if he didn’t do anything eventually you’re not here forever but at the end the day he might even deal with depression or whatever and that’s hard to deal with you know I do deal with suicidal thoughts and that’s the thing it’s not about anybody else it’s not about my family it’s about me what I’m going through people don’t realize that whatever because people criticize or so there’s a why’d you leave whatever yeah I do think selfish if I hurt myself because I’m not just hurting myself I’m hurting other people but at the same time they have to think about our people and think about what I’m really going through because you know it’s like a battle you’re fighting every day you’re fighting with your brown brain you know people don’t understand that and my things that you might need to do research on it to help you deal with it because it’s not like he was trying to hurt you I really don’t think he was but he was dealing with his own demons and just let the demon beat him so he will win the battle some people lose the battle people don’t understand that and they sit there criticize people that do her themselves or whatever stop criticizing her when you don’t know what they’re going through now people said they say you know all you’re so selfish if you sit there hope yourself yeah I might be a little selfish but the same time you’re being selfish try to hold onto people or make them stay here while they’re suffering Riverdew were suffering and we were not think about that and then the day you’re like me I’m trying to help and I’m trying to fight for my life I’ve been doing this for 10 years fighting for my life for 10 years dealing with it and I’m still here but I don’t mean one day is not gonna take me out but again like I said I’m sorry for your loss but you have to think about how hard it or what he might be going through to you know that he didn’t talk to you about or felt like he couldn’t talk to you about for a reason people do you think about that too I mean it’s not your fault leave me it’s not your fault at all you do nothing wrong all you do is be there for people whatever but yeah you did nothing wrong and I think that’s the worst way to go because yeah we heard of the people love us and whatever so how do you feel like they’re better off without you not tell him I thought he felt he might’ve felt like he was you were better off without him because that’s how I feel with people that love me I feel like sometimes they’re better off without me so yeah you might want to try to understand it and maybe that will help you heal you know and I mean I understand if I do try to do some research on depression or whatever that’s if he didn’t do that I don’t know because he just made it sound he did but he just mean like if I get sick or something accident whatever the best thing you can’t stay here forever so if he was in an accident or something well that’s not his fault either you know we’re not all here to stay forever to us you know what’s up my depression was I lost my parents and I was angry with my mom for giving up but at the same time she’s been sick for a while and I did feel like by the end she just gave up and she gave up because my father passed away he was killed he was murdered and that’s a start my downfall when they both died and I start my depression but I’m not trying to give up I’m trying to fight but I don’t mean one day it was not gonna get to me I’m sorry to ramble on by myself I was just trying to make you understand as we’re going through things to people that deal with us but again I’m very sorry for your loss I don’t think it ever gets easier I think you learn to live without them because people say it’s easier I don’t think it does I think you just learn to live without them and go on with your life that’s about it but it doesn’t get easier I don’t believe it does but again I’m very very sorry for your loss and I hope I didn’t come off as being too mean or whatever and then I’m gonna get hate for what I’m saying

    Where do I go when I can't go home?
    'Cause you sold it, and you lost yourself in you are just no more
    Take every piece, every piece of me
    Whatever you need, my mind is changing
    And I can't hide, no, but you know where I'll be

    Chasing the sky, trying to fly
    And now I see
    Just why it had to be so hard for me
    You'll hear my roar, they'll feel your legacy
    Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high
    [Verse 2 - Yazz:]
    Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is
    Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
    It's like we can't even get along, who right and who in the wrong?
    Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics

    I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my papa
    I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly
    [Verse 3 - Terrence Howard:]
    Far from a perfect man
    The fights and the lies, I guess you'll never understand
    A mother and father who wanted for you much more than
    Life is a slight of hand (if you hate it today)
    But my love for you, is the one thing that is true
    [Verse 4 - Jussie Smollett:]
    Going out alone, and I can't even trust all the people here inside my home
    And if you were my brother, then never let it get so wrong
    That you turn your back on what we were
    Turn your back on me, on your family, no

      Great music like this does not get recognized or credit because it's not all about gang banging, drugs, sex, guns, killing, lies, etc...and it's a shame and I agree with this song should have won an award or something and for a lot of their other music as well....

    [Verse 1 - Jussie Smollett:]
    Open your eyes to what you love to hate
    You're up in the sky but you ain't flying straight
    Where do I go when I can't go home?
    'Cause you sold it, and you lost yourself in you are just no more
    Take every piece, every piece of me
    Whatever you need, my mind is changing
    And I can't hide, no, but you know where I'll be
    Mother
    [Hook - Jussie Smollett:]
    And I know
    I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built for it
    But now that I can see it, damn right I'm really made for this
    Chasing the sky, trying to fly
    And now I see
    Just why it had to be so hard for me
    You'll hear my roar, they'll feel your legacy
    Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high
    [Verse 2 - Yazz:]
    Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is
    Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
    It's like we can't even get along, who right and who in the wrong?
    Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics
    I tell you shut up, you tell me be quiet, too much dysfunction
    Cut up like we at a riot, kicking and punching
    Ain't nobody here to mediate it
    And you would think that we wasn't even related
    Why are we even throwing blows in the first place?
    We fight at cook outs, picnics and birthdays
    I tried to give the benefit but in the worst case
    You keep on talking smack, you end up with a hurt face
    And we tried everything, now it's time for plan B
    If Bloods and Crips can reconcile, why can't we?
    I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my papa
    I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly
    [Verse 3 - Terrence Howard:]
    Far from a perfect man
    The fights and the lies, I guess you'll never understand
    A mother and father who wanted for you much more than
    Life is a slight of hand (if you hate it today)
    But my love for you, is the one thing that is true
    [Verse 4 - Jussie Smollett:]
    Going out alone, and I can't even trust all the people here inside my home
    And if you were my brother, then never let it get so wrong
    That you turn your back on what we were
    Turn your back on me, on your family, no
    [Hook - Jussie Smollett:]
    Said I know
    I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built for it
    But now that I can see it, damn right I'm really made it for this
    Chasing the sky, trying to fly
    And now I see
    Just why you had to be so hard on me
    You'll hear my roar they'll feel your legacy
    Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high

      @@kamesames2907hustle and flow should’ve had a part 2, because empire has to many differences from hustle and flow. My differences are the names, in hustle and flow, their names are djay and shug. In empire their names are Lucious Lyon(Dwight Walker) and Cookie Lyon (Loretha Holloway). Another one is their history.. d jay pimped shug out until she got pregnant and had to stay with him, while he pimped Nola out. Lucious on the other hand was a teenager and a rapper, he met cookie when they were just 16 and she saw him rapping on a corner with his friends and her and her sisters were there . Right when she started dancing to his rap, is when they knew they’d be ride or die. Another example is the timeline- shug was pregnant and the movie was made in 2005, while empire was just ten years later, cookie couldn’t have been pregnant as she was in jail maybe in 1997, as she was in there for 17 years and got out in 2015. Another thing is shug was pregnant with her first child and named her Kisha in 2005, which she was born in Memphis, while cookie had 3 boys already before then, and she had a miscarriage before she had her first son. Last 2 things are cookie and Lucious are from Philadelphia, while shug and d jay were from Memphis. Last thing is Lucious never pimped out a woman and he sold drugs (cocaine) with cookie while, d jay sold his own weed.
