Chasing The Sky Chords & Lyrics - Empire Cast

[E][Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
[E]Open your eyes to what you love to h[C#m]ate
You're up in the sky but you ain't flyi[A]ng straight
Where do I go when I can't go h[E]ome?

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

Mother

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
[E]I know
I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built fo[C#m]r it
But now that I can see it, damn right I really made it [A]for this
Chasing the s[B]ky, trying to f[E]ly

And now I see
Just why you had to be so hard fo[C#m]r me
You'll hear my roar then fill your l[A]egacy
Here to the [B]sky, no choice but to f[E]ly, 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
The fights and the lies , I guess you never u[C#m]nderstand
A mother and father who wanted for you m[A]uch more than

Life is a slight of hand, if you hate it today
And my love for [E]you is the one thing thatâs true


[Verse 4: Jussie Smollett]
[E]Going all alone, I can't even trust all the people here in[C#m]side my home
And if you were my brother, then never let it ge[A]t so wrong

That you turn your back on what we were
Turn your back o[E]n me, on your family, no


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

And now I see
Just why you had to be so hard f[C#m]or me
You'll hear my roar then fill your le[A]gacy
Here to the s[B]ky, no choice but to fl[E]y, so high, so high, so high
