Lyrics Be There - Mic Righteous, Tone

Be There

I look up to the sky, I don’t see…
…Why you don’t seem to be there…
…I look up to the sky, I don’t see you
Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there
(If you believe heaven is here, you see heaven appear)
I ain’t who I used to be
Ever since I come up on this music scene
Maybe cause I’m under all this gluttony
What if I was you and you was me
Tell me, what you would do without no food to heat
And tell me, what you would do without no room to sleep
And would you, turn to usage and soothe the feeling or
Turn to loot and then lose your freedom
In every interview they ask me who I believe in
I can’t keep explaining it’s losing meaning
To tell the truth if it is the truth you’re seeking
I never knew my bruise like a fruit to seed just confused
On my back looking through the ceiling
Never really prayed and it ain’t a secret
When I do I have no clue as to who may receive it
Probably think I would just look in at my facial features but
(Think I would just look in at my facial features but)
I look up to the sky, I don’t see you
Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there
I look up to the sky, I don’t see you
(If you believe heaven is here, then you will see heaven appear,
one more time like)
Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there
Yo
And I don’t even say this much
But I don’t see your face when I’m facing up
And when I seem to pray it’s like my brain just shuts
You can blame my brothers in the way they raised me up
We ain’t no, Brady Bunch but they gave me luck
But then I, they can come when they ain’t enough
You gotta, take the punch just to taste the blood
I wouldn’t, trade my place if it changed my luck
I couldn’t, follow my faith I was out on my own
Straight pup but my household’s out of control
Wasn’t out on my own when I found me a home
In a white world with a deed tryna find myself
Take a good look at what your eyes see
Create an idea for who you might be
I was out on the streets nine team with me and my team
Thinking maybe heaven isn’t what it might seem like
(Thinking maybe heaven isn’t what it might seem like)
I look up to the sky, I don’t see you
Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there
I look up to the sky, I don’t see you
(If you believe heaven is here, then you will see heaven appear, one more time)
Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there
(If you believe heaven is here, then you will see heaven appear,
one more time like)
All hope is gone and will you still hear me
Please stop the pain show me a sight
Cause I got nothing left in me to give
If there’s a way out then who will show me
I’ve run out of time can’t please me life
How am I supposed to make it right
I look up to the sky, I don’t see you
Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there
