War - Skyscraper Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring Treaty ]

Skyscraper (yeah)
(This is about life)
Skyscraper

You said I'll never be nothin'
Nah, you said I ain't got what it takes
Just a fat man with a fat chance
But I don't mind eatin' my piece of cake
I know I got a lot to prove
So, baby, this one's for you
Oh-oh
I know I gotta lose some weight
So I'm starting with you

Believed your lies, you tore me down
You was a queen but I revoked your crown
I'm on this journey, uphill now
Your laugh has taught me not to give up now
Eyes on the prize of Tennessee
Do it with a double shot of whiskey
Ah yeah
George Dickel, we know how to party
I paid the price, now I'm living for me 'cause

I, I can see it in the sky
Oh I, I can see it in the skyscraper
Oh, raise your glass if you're going through
Beautiful, this one's for you
You're a skyscraper
Yeah

Since mama told me I can fly (you can fly)
I learned the truth ain't for me to lie
And everybody got problems
But it's in how you solve them
It's kinda hard to swim upstream
Drownin' try to hold onto broken things
If I get a million views with a million streams
Maybe then, they will help me with my million dreams

Had to eat meat from my man's plate
Baby, on the floor while I serenade
From the sticks to the projects
Slow sippin' from a bottle full of regret
Singin' for my life 'cause it's all I got
Bartender, line 'em up and put it on the rocks
Dance with me, put it on TikTok
Shout out to the one who gave me a shot

I, I can see it in the sky
Oh I, I can see it in the skyscraper
Oh, raise your glass if you're going through
Beautiful, this one's for you
You're a skyscraper
Whoa

The banging, the clanging, the burning, the stomping
The nails in my hands and the nails in my feet
The blood in the dirt pits, you know that it's worth it
You're coming out beautiful, tall, and clean
Let's go

I can see it, oh, skyscraper
Oh, raise your glass if you're going through
Beautiful, this one's for you
You're a skyscraper
Oh, I can see it in the sky
I can see it in the sky
Whoa, raise your glass if you're going through
Beautiful, this one's for you
You're a skyscraper
You're a skyscraper

Just keep your head up, baby
Skyscraper
Yeah, yeah
