Swizz Beatz
Skyscrapers (Remix)
[Intro: ATOM Petrify]
Yeah, it's ATOM Petrify
RIP to DMX
YEAH
[Verse 1: ATOM Petrify]
Thank the lord for the blessin' is jaburata
I'm now eatin' bread with ma butter
Many men wanna take me down, my neck they wanna slaughter
I won't fail on the beat and stutter
I have all this persecution scars, feel like Peter
Diamonds on ma wrist I'm drivin' Toyota
I'm havin' all this visions feel like a preacher
Headin' for the skyscraper to lead by example, I feel like a teacher
It seems my soul is no more tryin'
To slay all this Demons, I've stopped fightin'
Pray To the lord, his name I am now shoutin'
On top of the world I wanna do my thing
Devil lost the battle with me, wanna mediate
9-9-9 to the WRLD this n***as turned to 8 (hate)
Temptations comin' in I don't wanna fornicate (XXX) (that's fact)
[Chorus: Bono]
I've seen coal turn to diamonds
And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
What began as a seed is no longer a dream
Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers
[Verse 2: DMX & ATOM Petrify]
I don't like better, better get you comfortable (Uh-huh)
Comfort puts you to sleep, need to know what's up with you (What?)
I go through alot with my sister; grace
I could see a bill future like gate
I won't lost all hope, I have ma faith
Gone are the days I drink whiskey, talkin' 'bout a crate
But it's still messy and still very eyesore
Cuttin' off my past Bridge with a saw
Which is the present
This aren't tattoos, this are scars and sores
Burnin' off the same brigde, the past I ignite
Shakin' off the pain off my horse, I feel like a knight
RIP to DMX is legacy is just about to come
I respect DMX ATOM Petrify Succumb
Flowin' on the beat I feel like a comb
DMX yeah, I am not alone
I've heard many people said am his clone
No I'm not, I'm just his new soul
RIP to DMX, I'm not alone
I'm not his clone, I'm just his soul (that's fact)
[Bridge: Bono & ATOM Petrify]
If I could make it to this skyscraper (Put your hands high and touch the sky)
Will you still love me?
Nobody will be able to hold me (Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers)
The skyscraper (Put your hands high and touch the sky)
If I could make it(Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers)
Will you still love me?
Nobody will he able to hold me, to hold me (Breezes in the summer comet sky)
If I could make it to this skyscraper (And jungle city lights go flashing by)
Will you still love me? (Feel full of—)
Nobody will be able to hold me (Feel full, full)
[Outro: DMX & ATOM Petrify]
(Reach for the sky, Ooh, yeah)
The skyscraper (Reach for the sky)
If I could make it (Reach for the sky, Ooh, yeah)
Will you still love me? (Reach for the sky)
Nobody will be able to hold me (Reach for the sky)
To hold me (The sky ain't gon' hold you)
(The sky is not gon' hold you)
