  • As we go way beyond sky's the limit and you know who we are
    We shootin' for the moon and land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars

    We 'bout to do it real big like outta this world and we takin' it far
    Shootin' for the moon and land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us

    Now don't you think this shit's outrageous?
    At this point if you don't see I'm one of the greatest
    I play the long time up in the league with the majors
    In every history book they add a couple more pages

    Like about the way I take 'em through stages
    On different levels, peep the way it read on the gauges
    Regardless I'ma love 'em, I don't care how they hate us
    No matter how they try, see they could never replace us

    Like mommy always said beware of the dangers
    Embrace genuine love, be careful of strangers
    'Cause when you are the best they try to weaken and change us
    They don't recognize at first but always do when you're famous

    Like I live my life bold and courageous
    And invest my time and always calculatin' my wages
    And let me lead the march, they'll probably start to parade us
    Because you know that I'm comin' to save us

    As we go way beyond sky's the limit and you know who we are
    We shootin' for the moon and land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars

    We 'bout to do it real big like outta this world and we takin' it far
    Shootin' for the moon and land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us

    I spread my wings takin' off properly
    I laugh at muh'fuckers that'll think they can top me
    I laugh harder 'cause somebody said that they dropped me
    When I'm flyin' through the sky, now how the hell they gon' stop me

    Like most of the time it's good to be patient
    Now I'm back with the crack, sorry for keepin' you waitin'
    Prepare the food right for the street and season the steak
    And grab a champagne glass and put it up, we celebratin'

    Like and tell me who you tryin' to race with
    If you ain't notice nigga I be ridin' a spaceship
    I'm light years ahead and way beyond all the fake shit
    I gotta stay away from trash because I probably'll break shit

    Like I know it's kinda hard to believe this
    The way I always come back and return with the heat, bitch
    This shit ain't a secret, son, it's hard to defeat this
    Risin' out the ashes, flyin' like a Phoenix

    As we go way beyond sky's the limit and you know who we are
    We shootin' for the moon and land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars

    We 'bout to do it real big like outta this world and we takin' it far
    Shootin' for the moon and land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us

    See now you see I'm back in the zone, be
    And it feels good to be home with Sylvia Rhone see
    Back to smash on the planet, niggaz know I'm the only one
    To be back with the authentic to smash all the phonies

    Like we mostly do the thing that you can't teach
    And then send 'em a rhyme into that bullshit you can't reach
    Then I give you shit that make the hood wanna bang in the street
    And state my word is bond, I live out what I speak nigga

    As we go way beyond sky's the limit and you know who we are
    We shootin' for the moon and land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars

    We 'bout to do it real big like outta this world and we takin' it far
    Shootin' for the moon and land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us land on the stars
    Let us land on the stars, let us
