I'll fly away
I'll fly away
To another place
Where there's no time or space
And if I should let you go
Before I go
Then just fly away
Maybe we'll meet some day
Yeah (Uh)
Let me take you to time that was way back
Way back before a nigga even knew he's black
And way back before a nigga could count time
And way back before nigga even tried to rhyme
And way back before I ever had all this stress
And way back before I wore this pain on my vest
And way back before I ever questioned the truth
And way back before I stopped believing in you
And that was back in the days
When we all wanted the bae's
That would look up and gaze at the night sky
We all wanted the scars
To show the bitches we hard
Had fears of pulling our cards and then we fell back
That's when shit I got deep
And I finally peeped
That this shit called life ain't what it's cracked up to be
Only ten and depressed
Pressure sat on my chest
113th road was our nest
Fly away
I'll fly away
To another place
Where there's no time or space
And if I should let you go
Before I go
Then just fly away
Maybe we'll meet some day
(Uh)
Now, fast foreword some time
And pain lingers on mind
As I do feel blind
To the hopes of what's next
Given, this started as a child
And now I am a man
Twenty-one and a savage but feelings changed the plans
It's just something that stays
Like emotions that lay
In the river of thoughts
I guess that's what god sought
Or what he brought
Or maybe what he think
Confessions of a real nigga
I'm beginning to sink
But I'm too busy to care
I know this life ain't fare
Momma stressing over niggas that won't even share
And I got to get this degree
Imagines that we see
But the truth is that piece of paper don't define me
And the pressure so real
To see how pussy feels
Comparing yourself to another nigga I don't know how to deal
Life means so more
Love is never chore
Appreciate the people you have
Before they walkout the door
So what is true
And what is real
Questions I asked myself on that freestyle feel
And now I think I know
What's real is you
And the emotions you carry are pictures they believe are true
So, let them paint
F*ck what people think
And I'm building my capital like I'm at the bank
So if I should die
Edge my name in stone
I only wanted to fly
I think I found my zone
(Hey yeah)
Fly away (Fly away)
(I really think I did)
Fly away (Fly away)
Fly away (Fly away, yeah)
Fly away (Fly away, hell yeah nigga)
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
To another place
Where there's no time or space
And if I should let you go
Before I go
Then just fly away
Maybe we'll meet some day
