Sky’s the Limit (Inf Mix) Lyrics
Yo, poverty be shakin on every black block
Eyes get watery, from smokin crack rocks
In crack pipes, sun is down pitch black nights
They be dangerous, unless your eyes adjust
To the darkness, spark this, rugged paragraph
It's bulletproof math, narcotics for addicts
Master scientist in labs, break it down
Never B12, tongue is numb, pass it around
And check out manipulation of many minds
Creatin, precipitation of many crimes
(Bo bo bo!) You steady talkin that yang on how it be
It's up in your face, but you just can't see
Cause arrogance'll have a nigga blinded
Rewind it and think about it, before you try and doubt it
Negative vibrations that test my patience
Them wicked-ass people runnin radio stations
Want money for a slot but I don't cater to a devil
Whether black or white, all day, all night
All type eyes open so you know I see the gimmicks
Gotta tell these shorties sky's the limit
[Hook]
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take, what you want
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep, keep keepin on
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take, what you want
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep, keep keepin on
Ayo shorty, I seen how this life is rough
Because I lived it, I seen how these times is tough
Fought the uphill battles, against all odds
Strap yo' feet in the saddle, all praises to God
I know you want the good life of luxury cars
What you see is close range and what I see is from afar
Tryin to warn you bout the traps that'll stab you in the back
You see I never kick it falsely, I only spit the facts
On how equality, strikes at the worst of times
Soon as you tryin to excel and elevate your mind
See I was blind bein led by the blind, eatin swine
'til wise-dome got me refined, freed my mind
Hey shorty do you know what I mean, sky's the limit
A pawn in this game called life, I'm bout to win it
It's hard for me to sit and see you do yourself
When I'd rather see you do someone else, and that's real
[Verse 3: No I.D.]
You keep me up nights late, tryin to put the food on the plate
In the ghetto black hole unknown is the fate
Just a stack of rocks, unrefined black coal
Like tester, pressure, make you shine like gold
Cause yo, keep it real when a nigga gotta kill
Two niggas bust, two niggas blood spill
Blame it on the ghetto like Heiny and the weed
But I'm damned and dead, 'fore it spread to my seed
You bombard my baby's brain with the game
So he can bust shots and sell rocks for fame
So when he get old he got murder on the brain
Only one skill that's rockin cocaine
'til the world blow up, that's the brand new slang
And it don't take much for him to pull out the thang
And let it rain
(Ad-libs.. felt that)
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take, what you want
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep, keep keepin on
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take, what you want
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep, keep keepin on
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take, what you want
The sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep, keep keepin on
(Keeping it on)
[Outro: No I.D.]
In every ghetto all over the world
We keep, keepin it on
Infinite Chi-Town fo' sho'

Q&A
Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
That song embodies my personal spiritual outlook on life. When we do music, we influence people and that record is something I really felt during that era. Hip-Hop used to have real life, positive talk. You could say anything in hip-hop and people wouldn’t call it emo or anything like that—it was just hip-hop. I mean, even back then Dr. Dre was rapping about ‘I still express, yo I don’t smoke weed or sess.’
Somewhere along the way hip-hop lost its ability to say anything, and ‘Sky’s The Limit’ was talking about people who only cared about money and success. We wanted to talk about the kids and the people who were getting ‘lost in the sauce,’ so to speak.
That was the only video shot for the album. It got a decent amount of play on MTV, BET and The Box. It wasn’t all over the place or heavily promoted. Biggie’s ‘Sky’s The Limit’ came out around the same time and it was just pure coincidence.
