Sky's The Limit
Biggie Smalls feat. 112 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Baby, look at me, mama love you
And I know you ain't no little boy no more
But you'll always be my baby
It seems like only yesterday I was holding you in my arms
Now look at you now big, but I worry about you
I worry about you all the time, hangin' out on the corner
All times at night with the cruel people
Baby, that ain't nothin' but trouble
I always taught you that you could have whatever you dream
Well, I want you to hold on to that dream, baby
Hold on to it real tight, 'cause the sky's the limit

Good evenin' ladies and gentlemen
How's everybody doin' tonight? (alright, alright, alright)
I'd like to welcome to the stage, the lyrically acclaimed, ha (woo, woo)
I like this young man, because, when he came out
He came out wit the phrase, he went from ashy to classy
Haha, I like that (alright, alright)
So everybody in the house, give a warm (uh), round of applause for
The Notorious B.I.G. (ha)
The Notorious B.I.G. ladies and gentlemen, give it up for him, y'all

Uh, a nigga never been as broke as me, I like that
When I was young I had two pair of Lee's, besides that
The pin stripes and the gray (uh-huh)
The one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays (uh)
While niggas flirt, I'm sewing tigers on my shirt
And alligators (uh)
Ya wanna see the inside, huh, I see ya later
Here come the drama, oh, that's that nigga with the fake, uh huh (blaow)
Why you punch me in my face? Stay in ya place
Play ya position (uh), here come my intuition (uh-huh)
Go in this nigga pocket
Rob him while his friends watchin'
That hoes clockin' (uh), here comes respect
His crew's your crew, or they might be next
Look at they man eye, BIG man they never try
So we roll with 'em (uh), stole with 'em
I mean loyalty, niggas bought me milks at lunch
The milks was chocolate, the cookies, buttercrunch
'88, Oshkosh and blue and white dunks (everything will be alright)
Pass the blunt

Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin' on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can
(Gotta keep movin', gotta keep pressin' on)
Have what you want, be what you want
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Just keep on pressin' on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can (oh-ooh)
Have what you want, be what you want
Have what you want, be what you want (oh whoa, oh yeah)

Uh-huh, I was a shame, my crew was lame (uh)
I have enough heart for most of 'em
Long as I got stuff from most of 'em (oh)
It's on, even when I was wrong I got my point across (uh-huh)
They depicted me the boss, of course (alright, alright)
My orange box-cutter make the world go 'round (hmm)
Plus I'm fuckin, bitches ain't my homegirls now (alright, oh yeah)
Start stackin' (uh), dabbled in crack, gun packin' (uh)
Nickname Medina, make the seniors tote my ninas (uh-huh) (whoa-oh, ooh yeah)
From gym class, to English, pass off a global (woo)
The only nigga wit a mobile, can't you see like Total (yeah)
Gettin' larger in waist and taste (oh-ooh)
Ain't no tellin' where this felon is headin', just in case
Keep a shell at the tip of your melon, clear the space (yeah)
Ya brain was a terrible thing to waste (yeah)
Eighty-eight long gates, snatch initial name plates (uh)
Smokin' spliffs wit niggas, real life beginner killers (uh)
Prayin' God forgive us for being sinners, help us out (112 sing the chorus)

Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on (ooh baby)
Just keep on pressin' on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can
(Gotta keep movin', gotta keep pressin' on)
Have what you want, be what you want
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on (ohh, gotta keep pressin' on)
Just keep on pressin' on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can (yeah, ooh)
Have what you want, be what you want (whoa ooh, yeah)
Have what you want, be what you want (oh, whoa, yes)

After realizin' (uh-huh), to master enterprisin' (uh-huh)
I ain't have to be in school by ten, I then (woo)
Began to encounter, with my counter-parts
On how to burn the block apart, break it down into sections (oh, yeah)
Drugs by the selections
Some use pipes (oh, yeah), others use injections (oh, yeah)
Syringe sold seperately (uh-huh), Frank the deputy (uh-huh)
Quick to grab my Smith & Wesson, like my dick was missin' (alright, alright)
To protect my position, my corner, my layer
While we out here, say the hustlas prayer (yeah)
If the game shakes me or breaks me (oh)
I hope it makes me a better man
Take a better stand
Put money in my moms hand
Get my daughter this college plan, so she don't need no man (uh)
Stay far from timid
Only make moves when your heart's in it
And live the phrase, "Sky's The Limit"
Motherfucker, see you chumps on top

Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on (oh oh)
Just keep on pressin' on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can (gotta keep movin' on)
Have what you want, be what you want (gotta keep pressin' on, baby)
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on (oh, oh, every day)
Just keep on pressin' on (we'll be alright)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can
(Keep on movin', keep on pressin' on)
Have what you want, be what you want
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Just keep on pressin' on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can (every day will be alright)
Have what you want, be what you want (if you will, oh)
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on (oh, gotta keep pressin' on)
Just keep on pressin' on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can
Have what you want, be what you want
(Everything will be alright if you will keep on pressin' on)
(Gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin' on (gotta keep pressin' on)
Sky is the limit and you know that you can (gotta keep pressin' on)
Have what you want, be what you want




Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on (oh, whoa, ooh)
Just keep on pressin' on
