A Day In The Life
Skyzoo Lyrics

Infinitely caught in a weave of
Tryna dip around what they breed before you leave or
Climbing in and out of a scene they call elite or
Lining up whoever's between the world and me or
Me and the world whichever first when pronouncing it
Taught us "get enough for us all if you come out with it"
The background eat till it's gone if you all around with it
Tryna get a piece off the corner like quarter ouncing it
Caught up in the bounce of it where loyalty is all that it oughta' be
Like if I was to call and see if you down for it

Word to a dresser drawer burying what was found in it
Truly forever yours ever more if you doubted it
Ever more like more than you was ever surrounded with
To get involved makes you apart of the sound of it
No regret at the door and no announcing it
Fucking with whatever you about with it

Forever in a day forever in a day
100 on the line and never will it stray
100 on the line and never will it stray
100 on the line however we should aim
Forever in a day

Forever ever forever ever
With short change measures in all day leathers
And honor's like forever ever forever ever
Your alibi know to keep it Andre clever
And being on mean we ignored what all they left us
And it starts out being as on as Rae Sremmurd
Bare minimum the feeling of ceilings that never left us
But the chicken box will kick off the top for whatever weather
For the win of it corner get loud they caught wind of it
And everybody caught in the sound that you was whispering
Send something flying around to help them get in it
Or how that's still yours if your name ain't on the end of it
Loyalty is priceless jewelry isn't
Give or take depending on what type of jewelry you're given
In a space where the script is stuck to like a pivot
If you knew us then you knew we was with it when it's
Forever in a day

Forever in a day forever in a day
100 on the line and never will it stray
100 on the line and never will it stray
100 on the line however we should aim
Forever in a day

Broad day like jumping out in the way
When one is jumping up outta the front and finding it's aim
Or divying a bag with who you're beside every day
And splitting points like you dotted your name
'Cause know that all of these green lives that used to be here
Matter like these black lives that these blue lives shoot outta fear
So all these green lives used over here
Was 'posed to set it where never would a second set of shooters appear
The first set is just the usual here
It makes sense as much as it kinda don't but that's new to who where?
The prestige of feeling like you're who they let breathe
Due to abag that you shouldn't have it just seems
Like more than they're letting on to
Finger fucking money resorts to thinking that it adores you
Whatever you make of it make it where it goes around with you
In light of where all these go arounds put you forever in a day

He was nicknamed Skyzoo by his parents after the Skyy disco song (his middle name is Skyler). He began rapping at the age of nine and went on to work with producers Jay Dee and 9th Wonder, releasing several mixtapes in the hope of securing a record deal. He was beaten by Jin on BET's 106 & Park freestyle contest, but went on to have tracks used as both the theme to ESPN's Whiplash TV and the soundtrack to a Guinness advert, and set up his own Custom Made Entertainment company. He has also had a long association with North Carolina rap crew the Justus League, whom he was introduced to via his friend Chaundon, and who he describes as his "second family". Jay Dee's death in 2006 prompted Skyzoo to pay tribute with the song "Sky's Last Donut". He worked with 9th Wonder on his debut album, Present Cloud 9: The 3 Day High, which reputedly took only three days to record. He also contributed to three tracks on the Hall of Justus album Soldiers of Fortune.

He released the critically-acclaimed Corner Store Classic mixtape in 2007, and released a remixed version, including some new material, as a digital download album in 2008. Corner Store Classic was rated 'XL' (4/5) by XXL Magazine. In 2007, he stated that he had a second album ready, called The Salvation, but was waiting for a major record deal before releasing it.

He cites as influences hip hop artists such as Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Nas, N.W.A., Big Daddy Kane, and Kid 'n Play, as well as artists such as Sade, Nirvana and John Coltrane, and cites Coltrane's A Love Supreme as his favorite album. He credits J Dilla as his biggest inspiration and favorite producer. He has been critical of the direction that Hip Hop has taken, stating "People are taking the 'whetever we gotta do' method, resulting in gimmick records. I'm about making money but it has to be with dope records".
