Fly Fly Away

(Verse 1)

In this game I don't claim to be a veteran,

I?m just spittin lyrical Excedrin for brethren,

Medicine to keep your head from spinning when

Rappers mumble jargon, I fumble rhymes and start an arson

Burning gassed up heads and sparking light to brighten dark ends

Of the mind, now let it shine

So we can all be the kerosene

Fearing no team man or human being are you believing?

If I speak truth will I lose market share?

Cause it?s something the public wont digest in its ears?

Well I don't care. I?m rolling on spares

On the road surpassing obstacles that?s there

And I swear I?ll hold down the fort like mayor

As a temporary duty since my home ain?t here

I said I swear I hold down the fort like mayor

As a love for the people since my home ain?t here

And its time...

(verse 2)

I feel like an alien outcast in a world so vast

Searching miles for my niche but lost in the mist

So what?s the answer to this...

Cause one always exists, with every question that hits

And yeah, some hit like Tyson, hard to the jaw

Impairing your ability to answer at all

Leaving the question in awe cause we ain?t trying to fight back

But if we're born with teeth we're born to bite back

So I ask, how long does life lasts

Regardless of color or age can it go in a flash

Well in fact, it really only lasts a minute versus the infinite

A concept too intricate for the intellect

So some get intimate with earths filthiness

Where melodies are dark and human?s are used as instruments

Where drugs and booze are often abused

Best friends stab backs then wrap their arms around you

Where its true lives are driven by power and fame

Driven by ***, success, approval, and pain

And for what? Nothing?s left when we're driven to graves

Just memories of the past, or a loved ones pain

And its real what?s seen today fades away

But the unseen?s eternal so I cherish its stay

The un-American way but I must maintain

Cause if I forfeit my soul, then what?s been gained?

(verse 3)

So sometimes, I grab my pen and write rhymes

My mind breathes when the ink flows into nighttime

I plant seeds, and watch ?em grow into trees

Produce fruit from leaves and feed the people in need

And that?s the truth if that fruit is wealthy

Who cares if music?s moving if the products unhealthy

I?m looking at the crowd for that one who felt me

Helping' me raise the bet on these cards God dealt me

But still some doubt it?s worth pursuing

We've all been given gifts so now how we going to use ?em

I?m on the outside looking in at the confusion

I been there before swinging fists at those illusions

Now I fight the hands of time, with my might

So my life can be seen as worthy in hindsight

I clutch my mic tight and ponder the way

Reflecting back sometimes on this temporary stay

But I won't get attached cause I know where home is

And reach out to souls that are currently homeless

Cause some claim the earth and clown around ?till it hurts us

In this circus a juggling act that makes me nervous

Maybe its entertaining when you look at its surface

But step outside the ring and ask is it all worth it

Just step outside the ring and ask is it all worth it

Just step outside the ring on this temporary stay..
