verse 1: Jussie Smollett 
E                                   C#m 
Open your eyes to what you love to hate 
                                       A 
You're up in the sky but you ain't flying straight 
                               E 
Where do I go when I can't go home? 

Cause you sold it, and you lost yourself in you are just no more 
E                                C#m 
Take every piece, every piece of me 
                                     A 
Whatever you need, my mind is changing 
                                         E 
And I can't hide no, but you know where I'll be 

Mother 


Hook: Jussie Smollett 
E 
I know 
                                                 C#m 
I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built for it 
                                                       A 
But now that I can see it, damn right I really made it for this 
             B              E 
Chasing the sky, trying to fly 

And now I see 
                                 C#m 
Just why you had to be so hard for me 
                                    A 
You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy 
            B                      E 
Here to the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high 


verse 2: Yazz 
E 
Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is 
E 
Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it 
C#m 
It's like we can't even get along, who right and who in the wrong? 
C#m 
Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics 
A 
I tell you shut up, you tell me be quiet, too much dysfunction 
A 
Cut up like we at a riot, kicking and punching 
E 
Ain't nobody here to mediate it 
E 
And you would think that we wasn't even related 
E 
Why are we even throwing blows in the first place? 
E 
We fight at cook outs, picnics and birthdays 
C#m 
I tried to give the benefit but in the worst case 
C#m 
You keep on talking smack, you end up with a hurt face 
A 
And we tried everything, it's time for plan B 
A 
If Bloods and Crips can reconcile, why can't we? 
E 
I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa 
E 
I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly 


verse 3: Terrence Howard 
E 
Far from a perfect man 
                                             C#m 
The fights and the lies , I guess you never understand 
                                        A 
A mother and father who wanted for you much more than 

Life is a slight of hand, if you hate it today 
                E 
And my love for you is the one thing thatâ??s true 


verse 4: Jussie Smollett 
E                                                         C#m 
Going all alone, I can't even trust all the people here inside my home 
                                                A 
And if you were my brother, then never let it get so wrong 

That you turn your back on what we were 
                E 
Turn your back on me, on your family, no

I know 
                                                C#m

                                                       A 
But now that I can see it, damn right I really made it for this 
             B              E 
Chasing the sky, trying to fly 

And now I see

You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy 
             B                      E 
Here to the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high
