Chris Webby
Sky High (2023)
[Chorus: Xander Goodheart & Chris Webby]
I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life
I stare down at my view, what a beautiful sight
Long days and lonely nights, that's how I got to this height
It got me livin' in the limelight
I've been sittin' sky high (Sky high)
I got here on my own time
Ain't have a doubt in my mind
That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High, yeah)
[Verse 1: Chris Webby]
To live like I do, it's a dream come true
From broke as hell to these bills I thumb through, yeah
So sky high ain't no calls come through
Caught a loss or two, but that's the cost of the view
Independent royalty, go and check the royalties
Every quarterly is up and up as I see more of thesе
Snakes comin', tryna take from it
So I went from rockin' a rеtainer to my retainer payin' my lawyer fee
Boy are these times I live in surreal
From vacuum sealin' zips that I deal
To vacuumin' floors in my house on the hill
With a sale price set over a mil', shit feel
Like I'm livin' someone else's life, count my blessings
Every single time I go to bed at night to keep my head on right
Yeah, my specs on, Uncle June when I set my sights
As I'm whippin' with a Betty White 'bout to catch a flight
In my late seventies as a faded celebrity
Lookin' back on memories, livin' on what they netted me
As I'm tellin' these incredible stories
Embedded on the halls of history, the hieroglyphics show a legacy
Of legendary energy, now the scholars'll mention me
Like Walt and Jesse all on account of the way this pen and me
Have built the kind of chemistry that no chemist has ever seen
It was all a dream back in '17, now we in the sky, so-so-so
[Chorus: Xander Goodheart]
I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life
I stare down at my view, what a beautiful sight
Long days and lonely nights, that's how I got to this height
It got me livin' in the limelight
I've been sittin' sky high (Sky high)
I got here on my own time
Ain't have a doubt in my mind
That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High)
[Verse 2: Chris Webby]
So high, oh my, I be gone with the wind
They see Webby go by and don't want it with him
Wear a hat to keep the limelight off of the brim
All while I continue followin' my callin' within
And I ain't fallin' again, shit, I've fallen a lot
But I'm still givin' this motherfucker all that I got
Went from callin' out of work, now I'm callin' the shots
Went from the underground with the sound, crawled to the top
They all are in shock like Jolteon is on the attack
I channel focus like I'm Obi-Wan, go off and relax
Either that or resort to react
And smack 'em so hard they'll do a palm readin' from the mark of the slap
Sayin', "This line means Chris might be crazy"
Just slightly, switch my speed, racing
Thoughts in my brain which might mean lately
I've been losin' every single marble God gave me
This has been the manager, the writer and performer
Sometimes I feel like I painted myself right into a corner
And I'm somewhere on the border of several different disorders
But I keep myself in order while pleasin' all my supporters
Now I'm stacking like a hoarder whose out of room in they drawers
And all I do is record
But everyone want a seat in the musical chair until it's you on the floor
All of these stupid awards, all the reviews and rewards ain't what we doin' it for, so
[Chorus: Xander Goodheart]
I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life
I stare down at my view, what a beautiful sight
Long days and lonely nights, that's how I got to this height
It got me livin' in the limelight
I've been sittin' sky high (Sky high)
I got here on my own time
Ain't have a doubt in my mind
That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High)
