Fuck You Cloud 9

You look so good hanging from up high
Always whispering in my ear, 'Dre, when you comin by.
Riding the tail of the winds, always passing my ear
Leaving sexy notes, asking me to come near.


I'm reality's bitch and she don't play
I'm under her grip, each and everyday.
Y'all don't get along so why you tryin' to start trouble.
Teasing me to drop the anchor and float up to your bubble.


I imagine what it would be like, chilling with you
Smelling the fresh sky air and enjoying the view.
Prancing and dancing with no care in the world
Trying out everything and giving it a whirl.


Cloud 9, you sexy crazy free thing you.
What happens to my life if I do what you do?
I got bills, debts, obligations and responsibilities
Who am I to give 'em to, when they were entrusted to me.


You don't care about tomorrow, I wish I could do that.
But reality is a bitch and she just won't have that.
The only thing I know, is when I keep her near
The thought of tomorrow doesn't come with the fear.


She got my back like DMX in a dog fight
But you only know which club to go to tonight.
You sure are juicy, refreshing and stress free
And I do wonder what it would be like, to swim in your sea.


C'mon Cloud 9 don't you get what Reality is about?
She's hard, she's mean but she takes away doubt.
With her, everything is clear
And the next step in life to take
Is never far, but pre-planned to be near.


Yeah she keeps my face nose deep in my bills
So I miss out on the action and most of the thrills.
Cloud 9, your like a tight mini skirt clinging to a 45 inch hip.
Passing me, asking me, to come take this trip.


But Cloud 9, your door is always open
And you never stop me from leaving
While Reality keeps me safe and never leaves me needy.


In the end, Reality keeps me on the grind
Reaching my goals and earning what's mine.
She may be a bitch and maybe not as fine
But she has my interests at heart
So fuck you Cloud 9.
