I'll be there
Ooh all right
I'll be in the sky
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
I'll be in the sky
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
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,
I'll be in the sky
I'll be there
Ooh all right
I'll be in the sky
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
Yea
I'll be in the sky
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.
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,
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,
I'll be in the sky
I'll be there
Ooh all right
I'll be in the sky
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea
Yea
I'll be in the sky

The lyrics to Bridgey-B & Slamma's song "In The Sky" convey a deep introspection on life, identity, and mortality. The repetition of the line "I'll be in the sky" throughout the song suggests a sense of rising above earthly concerns and transcending to a higher plane of existence. This could represent a metaphorical journey towards a better place or a spiritual elevation beyond the physical realm.
In the verses, the artists delve into themes of self-discovery and self-realization. The lines "Remember when I leave, That the one in the mirror ain't me" suggest a disconnect between one's external image and inner self, highlighting the idea of wearing masks or personas to navigate through life. The mention of B.O.B as a persona used for rapping indicates a dual identity or a way to express oneself creatively while distancing from personal struggles or limitations.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of struggle and growth, with references to childhood innocence and the challenges faced in adolescence and adulthood. The lines "Failing my classes now I'm on lockdown, Now writin and readin a lot" hint at a journey of personal development and resilience in the face of obstacles. There is also a contemplation on mortality and the finite nature of life, with a realization that ultimately, everyone will meet the same fate and depart from this world.
Furthermore, the artists address societal issues and cultural norms, such as materialism, peer pressure, and the pursuit of success. The mention of "gold teeth don't really match with the suit" and the pressure to conform or meet certain standards portray a struggle between authenticity and societal expectations. The emphasis on speaking the truth and opening up ears reflects a desire to impart wisdom and provoke thought in listeners, urging them to question the status quo and seek deeper meaning beyond superficial desires.
Overall, "In The Sky" by Bridgey-B & Slamma is a contemplative piece that delves into themes of identity, purpose, and mortality. The repeated affirmation of being in the sky symbolizes a transcendence towards a higher state of being, while the introspective verses offer insights into personal growth, societal pressures, and the quest for meaningful existence. The artists' introspections and reflections invite listeners to ponder on their own journey through life and consider the bigger picture beyond the material and ephemeral aspects of existence.
