Sky's the limit lyrics


DefCEM

Recommended Posts

here's the lyrics, i typed them up a long time ago

The name of this jam is "The Sky Is The Limit"

And I'm gonna explain what it means if you give me a minute

Some things are impossible or so they seem

But nothing's impossible when you follow your dreams

When I was young I used to daydream in class

About all of my heroes from the present and past

I dreamed about people I respected a lot

I daydreamed about Jordan, Magic, and Doc

I daydreamed on the bus and at home in the bed

About an ally-oop dunk over some guy's head

Dreamin' is cool, and it's okay to do it

If you take the energy from the dream to pursue it

Like Guy Bluford, the first black astronaut

There's a man I respected a lot

Cause people told him no, but in his heart he was knowin'

The sky was the limit so he kept goin'

But in this case, they sky wasn't the limit

He took the limit book and he stuck Pluto in it

Anything that these people have done you could

Like the late Harold Washington and Mayor Wilson Good

How 'bout Jesse Jackson, now there's my hero

How much care does he have about what people say (zero)

Because people aren't immortal, that's just how it seems

They're not stupid people just men with dreams

I mean people with dreams, now where should I start with the ladies?

How 'bout Miss Rosa Parks

She ran for the future, fast not slow

Like Evelyn Ashford and my girl FloJo

Arsenio Hall, Eddie Murphy, Spike Lee

They all had dreams as clear eyes can see

My man Mike Tyson, he's doin' his thing

He's number one, yeah till I get him in the ring

Psyche Mike, just wanted to play wit'cha

Don King was probably callin' my manager

The main point of this lyrical interlude

Is to hip you and to give you the clue

Like Run-DMC said, "go for yours

Bust through celings and knock down doors"

Just as long as the celings and door aren't mine

You can go right agead and everything will be fine

I was jokin', hold up, wait, I'm serious

I been thinkin' y'all and my theory is if you keep dreamin' and don't be timid

And go for yours, then the sky is the limit

can someone opload the audio please?

Which album was this in? :paperbag: Plz put it up if its hard to find :wiggle:

It's not on an album, jjfp performed it in the late 80's once. When Tim gets back from holiday, send him a PM and see if you can still buy his JJFP/WS dvd's which have the video of the performance on... :2thumbs:

I was thinking about Sky's The Limit a little while ago, and thought that it would be dope if someone could record the audio onto their computer. On my old apple laptop I had for school last year, I could record audio on it, and play the audio on itunes afterwards. If anyone has a program that would allow them to record audio, they could record Sky's The Limit and upload it.

Thx Wes!

hey guys, i also noticed that there arent the lyrics for New Kids On The Block

your very welcome. i have new kids on the block lyrics too, typed up be me

Yo let me talk to you, let me have a word with you

If your doin' somethin' else, I hope I'm not disturbing you

But if I am, so what? Stop it

Cause me and Jeff are about to co-rock this

We're musical magical radicals

No small letters in our names, only capitals

It's unbelievable, inconceivable that another could defeat us

Impossible

We're a brand new group, so what man?

We still got hundreds of thousands of fans

Don't play us small cause we're not

Just salute the new kids on the block

I'm not a rebel or nothin' but I can hold my own

And like Moses how to hold or stack a microphone

In my hand or sometimes in my mic stand

All I need is an audience and man

You never know what I might say or do

Just put me on stage and give me my queue

And take cover, I'm not jokin', I'm serious

And anybody who dares to come near me is a lunatic

Because I'm totally unstable

Uncontrollable as my record revolves on the turntable

I'm a prisoner to my adrenaline

But don't worry, it only happens when I'm in

Concert or a battle on the street

Or any time that my ears behold the beat

But that's cool, I guess you'll be okay

All you gotta do is just stay the hell outta my way

I'm not tryin' to be tough but don't don't mess with me

I'm not guinea pig so stop testin' me

And just because I'm humble that don't mean I'm soft

Like a living room table I'll dust you off

Cause you're a leaf and from your tree you've fallen

Before you were hype but now your back stay stallin'

I said that you're a leaf but I forgot to say

That I'm a hurricane so I'll blow you away

There's your warning

Do yourself a favor and beat it

We battle everyday and we have yet to be defeated by anyone

Whether you like it or not

We're runnin' things, the new kids on the block
