Oh-oh-oh

Baby, would you look up to the sky?
Baby, would you look up to the sky?
If you need to remind yourself
You're lost, you wanna find yourself
Baby, would you look up to the sky?
Baby, would you look up to the sky?
No, don't you ever stop shinin'
You're priceless like a diamond
Post-Chorus
Baby, would you look up to the sky?
Baby, would you look up to the sky? (Hard to look up to the sky)
Verse 1
Yeah
People always tryna tell you how they want you to live (Wow)
And look past your opinions like your feelings ain't real (Haha)
You've been hurt a couple times already, so you're tryna
Play it safe for the moment (Dang), you know how it feel
But you never let it block you from a blessing (Nah)
Even though you been stressin' (Dang), 'cause God got the power to heal (Haha)
And I know it's gettin' hard for you to sleep at night
Feelin' restless (Okay), but just know that you're His, yeah
Chorus
Baby, would you look up to the sky? (Yeah)
Baby, would you look up to the sky? (Would you look up to the sky?)
If you need to remind yourself (Hard to remind yourself)
You're lost, you wanna find yourself (Hard to find yourself)
Baby, would you look up to the sky?
Baby, would you look up to the sky? (Would you look up to the sky?)
No, don't you ever stop shinin' (Never stop shinin')
You're priceless like a diamond (Priceless like a diamond)
Post-Chorus
Baby, would you look up to the sky? (Yeah, yeah)
Baby, would you look up to the sky? (Wait)
Verse 2
Don't let nobody tell you any different
'Cause you're worth more than you can imagine, tell yourself to stop trippin' (Yeah)
And I know you're tired of hearin' "I'm sorry"
From the same people you love, you go back and it gets you (Dang)
They'll fail you every time with no problems (For real)
And that's the hardest thing for me to do is ask forgiveness (Dow)
'Cause I know it got me actin' ungodly (Uh huh)
I'm lookin' up to you, 'cause you're the only one that can fix it, heh
Bridge

Your heart's speedin' up, can't stop
You're arms reachin' up
When you believe, you believe in love
You believe, you believe in love

Your heart's speedin' up, can't stop
You're arms reachin' up
When you believe, you believe in love
You believe, you believe in (Oh)

Meaning & Inspiration
Look Up to the Sky is an encouragement song that urges a hurting listener to look up and remember their worth. The chorus repeats the question "Baby, would you look up to the sky?" as a reminder for someone who feels lost, adding that the listener should never stop shining and is priceless like a diamond.
The verses speak of people who try to dictate how someone should live, of past hurts and playing it safe, and note that God has the power to heal and that the listener belongs to Him. The second verse speaks of people who fail and of the hard work of asking forgiveness, then turns upward in trust. The bridge says belief is belief in love. These ideas fit Psalm 121:1-2, Psalm 139:14 and Psalm 147:3, which speak of looking to the Lord for help, being wonderfully made and healing of the brokenhearted. The tone is warm and conversational, with a rap-leaning verse and a sung hook.
