“Wake Up In The Sky” by Gucci Mane, Bruno Mars & Kodak Black

 “Wake up in the Sky” is a song recorded by rapper Gucci Mane, singer Bruno Mars and rapper Kodak Black. The reason that we find the word “sky” in the title of this track is that the word serves as a wordplay for how “fly” Gucci, Bruno and Kodak are. And their extraordinary swag is not only due to drinking, smoking and drugging to the point of intoxication. But moreso they have the bankroll that enables them to fund an attractive lifestyle, complete with designer jewellery and expensive vehicles. As such, they get a lot attention from the ladies, who are impressed by their ability to provide luxury.
