Heads To The Sky Lyrics - Outland's Official - Outlandish

[Chorus:] 

Keep ya head to the sky [x4] 

(every man gotta story to tell bout how the made it into this World) 

Back in 1965 in motherlands street cafe 

where young men were sitting down 

drinking coffee 'till this brother came in 

u could tell by the look at his face 

that he had something that he wanted to share 

a story told by a brother to another 

'bout heaven, a lotta money and beer 

see everybody who gathered around this special man that sunny night 

left the caf with a dream about being the one to reach this paradise 

among these playas was guy who came from the country side 

in love with a beautiful city girl 

but didn't have what her daddy required 

and since life was to pour, land was too dry 

he decided to pack his suitcase 

and leave without ever saying bye 

couldn't look at his mother 

'cause she didn't want him to leave her sweet motherland 

but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do 

so he said "mamma" I'll be back again" 

the he crossed the sea in the words of God 

hoping to get on the right way 

get his part, meet his demands, pray 

fulfill his heart, taking a chance, grow 

all alone in the whole new world 

[Chorus:] 

A new beginning 

as soon as he touched ground 

he heard a sound saying his life was about to turn upside down 

as fast as he could he got settled with some fellow country men 

who had already giving in for gambling alcohol and women 

but they were all in the same boat 

Left home with the same hope 

learned from each others mistakes and then they coped 

Mr. dishwasher factory worker 

compared to where he came from this job right here was pure luxury 

he was no fool though 

shit he used his mind as his tool 

working his ass of all day at nighttime he went to school 

language is power as the years flew on by 

he went back home made the love of his life his wife 

talking about good shit now lets talk about something bad 

lets talk about this fucked up situation one night he had 

police pulled him over 

thought he was drunk when he was sober 

then they thought the car was stolen when in reality it was his Rover 

Mr. officer why u harassing my ass 

I pulled u over because u black ass was going too fast 

suddenly insecurity came upon his face like a flash 

was this really the type of future he would like his kids to have 

See daddy came 

Daddy saw 

Daddy took 

Daddy got what he gave 

A new home and new fam 

And a new working place is what he gained 

Gave his kids what he didn't have as a child 

"U go for the gold" 

The opportunity to be whatever they may desire 

"U get on a role" 

bilingual and beautiful 

could there be a sweeter pie 

I think not 

But I let u decide 

In the future 

Inshallah 

[Chorus:]
