Intro
Yeah… they said the party never ends up here Roll call… We Toast in the Sky
Intro
Yeah… they said the party never ends up here Roll call…
Verse 1
First one through the door with the golden chain swinging Left the block still breathing, now the clouds got me singing No more late nights ducking, no more sirens in the distance Just eternal grooves and the ones we miss still listening I see you down there grinding, I see you holding on I see the same pain I carried, but the weight is gone We don’t do clocks here, we do memories on loop Every laugh we ever had still echoes in the group
Chorus
We toast in the sky No more chains, no more lies Legends never die We just fly We toast in the sky Raise your glass if you fly From the struggle we rise We toast in the sky
Verse 2
Second one steps up with the slow southern drawl Used to carry the whole city on his back through it all Now he floating with the ancestors, telling stories loud About the ones who didn’t make it and the ones who made us proud He said “Tell ’em keep the faith when the rent due Friday Tell ’em love each other while the sun still shining Friday We was running out of time down there, now we got forever Still checking on the babies, still writing letters”
Chorus
We toast in the sky No more chains, no more lies Legends never die We just fly We toast in the sky Raise your glass if you fly From the struggle we rise We toast in the sky
Verse 3
Third one in the corner with the quiet wicked grin Used to hide the hurt behind the jokes and the gin Now the truth come easy, no more masks in the mirror He said the realest flex is knowing when your time is nearer “Tell the young ones it’s okay to slow it down sometimes Tell ’em crying ain’t weakness, it just mean you still alive We was chasing forever, now forever chasing us And the only thing that matters is the love we left behind us”
Bridge
Or maybe we just… fly No more running, no more hiding Just the music and the light And the ones we love still fighting
Chorus
We toast in the sky, we toast No more chains, no more lies, no more Legends never die, never We just fly, fly We toast in the sky, raise it Raise your glass if you fly, if you fly From the struggle we rise, we rise We toast in the sky
Inside the recording
Yeah… they said the party never ends up here Roll call…
We toast in the sky No more chains, no more lies
We toast in the sky, we toast No more chains, no more lies, no more
