Ivan B - Skylines Lyrics






Man, this world, it'll change ya
Am I getting bitter from the life that I'm living?
Inside a mirror as a stranger
Looking at me funny like you want to vent
No money but I gotta spend
My time at a part-time job that I don't like
Spend money like its alright
Another bill coming over-night, car had a breakdown last night
World keeps spinning, right?
Who sleeps when your girl ain't sleeping right?
3: 30am in the dead of night
Got to work in three hours, what a sight
But you gotta get up, yeah, that's all you know
Counting every minute 'til you 'bouta blow
How you keep grinding? Keep it on the low
They ask how you feeling only on the phone
No one's gonna help you outta bed
No one's gonna tell ya how to be a better friend
One in the mirror got you to the end
But I'm full of doubts and regrets, all I get
I tell you that I'm fine, but you say I'm not the same
Didn't like who I was, you don't like what I became
Talking to the mirror, who else you gonna blame?
You wanted recognition, now you want it all to change
Hoodies up, get the world out my face
The more that I see, the more that I know I'm out of place
Yeah you're getting older, but you never seen a change
Only thing you chased is a drink, then I'll toy it to the face, oh, man
Tell me who can really understand, when they tell you, "Be yourself"
But deliver certain plan, when they say you gotta grow up
Anytime you fail again
You won't win the lottery if you don't take the chance

I can touch the skyline, I can touch the skyline
I can touch the skyline, I can touch the skyline
The skyline
I can touch the skyline, I can touch the skyline
I can touch the skyline, I can touch the skyline

Feeling like we can make it out
Yeah, nobody says a thing when they see you 'bouta drown
Who cares if you ball 'til they see you with a crowd?
No one sees the work until they see you with a smile
Been on the scene, headphones on loud
If you got a dream, don't you ever look down?
Was lost for a minute, let me tell you what I found
If you want a handshake, don't expect a handout (handout)
Was lost for a minute, let me tell you what I found
If you want a handshake, don't expect a handout (handout)
(Do you feel it now? Do you feel it now?)
(Was lost for a minute, now tell me that you feel it now)
Feelings they don't understand
It's a feeling that you know you got
When you want something more from the life that you're living, you got to put a twist in the plot
Losing every season when you're waiting for the right year
Never hit the top if you don't put it in the top gear
Lately, I don't even want to look into mirror
Looking at myself is the only thing I fear

I can touch the skyline, I can touch the skyline
I can touch the skyline, I can touch the skyline
The skyline
I can touch the skyline, I can touch the skyline
I can touch the skyline, I can touch the skyline

    I've been here since Pursuit of Happiness, Finding Better Places. I didn't regard Layers of Reflections up there with his previous two since the pattern seemed to stuck, and the "blow up" regarding Ivan B fame just isn't going to happen with these 12 songs. I'm no expert, this is just my opinion.

    I'm a fan, don't get me wrong, but you have to look at his music from the perspectives of many. It's good, it's great, but it's not the "mood" for most of the times of which we listen to music.

    We listen to Ivan when we're falling hard, we cry to the songs when we're on our knees from the weight of the world.

    His music mostly contains of only one singular "tone", it's about the struggles to endure life, and the triumphs that are sought afterward. Of those things are dreams, ambitions, loves, acceptance etc. For an artist to "Blow Up", I think it would take more than the current messages. People tend to enjoy revelry, not suffering. Although these songs are great, and do hit on an emotional level that I praise, listening to struggles and triumphs has its end quicker than the other tones.

    The relativity to his song are to the lower income base citizens, whose incomes are barely floating to keep a pace of living. If a person doesn't know Ivan B yet, and you'd ask the person to check him out. An imagined typical response would be "Damnnnnn, this kid is sick" , but after 5 or 6 songs. You get a sense of repetition. I don't blame them, it's fine, in ways I agree.

    From the transition between the mix tapes "Pursuit of happiness" to "Finding better places" I heard a difference. This is all subjective of course. Nothing after mixtape "Finding Better Places" really entire me in terms of "inspiration". To me, it's been a slow "decline" since. He definitely gotten better as an artist, but his music is the same. The stylization is fixated enough at the mercy of his previous songs.

    Pursuit of Happiness, Finding Better Places, Our Time Together, Empty Passenger Seat . They're all different yeah, after his first two mix tapes though, I do still enjoy the music. It just became way too predictable. That predictability isn't what makes the music seems stale, it's that he is still speaking about the same stuff with more experience added on top.

    That extra experience doesn't necessarily correlate to "new ideas", it just reinforces the old ones.

    This isn't a bad thing though of course, his fan base in my opinion is a strong one even if small. We understand his music well and the lyrics of which he speak from.

    I do think he has the correct audience base though. Underrated wouldn't be the word I use. I'd say those who rated him rated him fairly above average to high.

    Same old same old is all. It takes a lot to come up with "new material", I get that.
