I'll Be In The Sky
B.o.B Lyrics

I'll be in the sky
The singer plans to leave this world and its problems behind and ascend to a different place.

I'll be there
The singer will be present somewhere, but it's unclear where or in what form.

Ooh all right
The singer expresses enthusiasm and approval for the idea of leaving this world.

Remember when I leave, That the one in the mirror ain't me, It's just someone that I call B.O.B, It's kinda me but it's not, It's just a mask that I got, So that I can rap and get off my block, Reminiscin my past when I was a todler, Sittin in grass and playin with blocks, Failing my classes now I'm on lockdown, Now writin and readin alot, Money and weed is in my shoe box now, While I'm tryina get me a glock, Cause I thought I was at the end of my line, Then I find out it was all in my mind, That's why I'm here to end all the fear, We all gon die and leave from here like
The artist reflects on their past struggles and how they've used music as an escape. They recognize that the image they present to the world is a persona, but it's helped them find success. They also acknowledge that life is finite and want to inspire others to face their fears and live fully.

I was a man with no name, Now I'm attributing mo fame, But all of this ain't gonna matter when I a die and say good bye so long, Sianara I'll have to catch you tomorra baby cause baby,
Despite the artist's success and recognition now, they recognize that it won't matter after they've passed away. They bid farewell to the people they care about.

Everyone here gonna die one day, So while I'm here I'm a find my way, That's my forte, That's why I'm here, Shit to open up your ears, And speak this real.
The singer acknowledges that death is inevitable for everyone, but they want to make the most of their time here and be true to themselves. They hope to inspire others to do the same and listen to their message of authenticity.

Beatin down the block with a shoot ya, The gold teeth don't really match with the suit, Nowerdays folk would rather rap than go to school, Cause they feel that if they black then they gotta have it too, But ya'll don't really seen that there, After all everybody wanna kick back, They wanna sit back, They wanna sip Goose, They wanna get down, They wanna get loose, They wanna get blown, They wanna see the truth, They wanna get old just like you, But since they ain't nobody gon be responsable, I'm a gonna have to be the one to show,
The singer comments on the current state of the music industry and how it's valued more than education for some people. They also criticize the superficial aspects of success and how it doesn't lead to true happiness or fulfillment. They feel responsible for guiding others towards a better path.
