Get Fly

They want us to fight, but we just want to get high

Work all day, all night, trying to get fly

When I get some money I'mma buy me some time

I can't fight your war until I'm finished with mine

I used to be mad at the government

Redirected some of my anger towards the mothership

Trying to guess which living hell sleeps under

when the grand scheme plan keeps all these people wonderin

Why we still runnin in place frustrated?

Pride is mistaken for hate, it's upgraded

I got a little breath left, let's suffocate it

Point at the epiphanies and call 'em all drug related

The time I spent with my life on bent

Trying to find the friends inside my head

Must have disengaged every phase and stage

Of of my I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming of age

My unofficial autobio

Will be accompanied with tips on how to smile

'cause I've found that when they don't see you frown

They never know that your a threat

And they don't sweat you when you came around

So who's going to be my next door savior?

Step up to your neighbor, and do me a favour

Take off the mask, let it all collapse

Empty the pack and watch your wings grow back

They want us to fight, but we just want to get high

Work all day, all night, trying to get fly

When I get some money I'mma buy me some time

I can't fight your war until I'm finished with mine

Society becomes jealousy, intimacy becomes intensity

Say it with a smile like it's meant to be

And all of a sudden, "boom", American family

And I can tell when your mad at your past

Because you tend to take the turns just a little too fast

And I can tell how you push your foot on the gas

that you already knew that you was gunna finsish last

Slow it down and take a little time

To look up at them clouds with the fake silver lining

Up in a tree knowing damn well you never reach the top

But you don't stop, you keep climbing

Well okay, it's settled

No more nights in this weed and thorn infested meadow

Uh-uh, from this day forth, only forward I pedal

Get the memo I'm cutting the strings Gepetto

Shuffle the cards and let's argue

Rooted in between the computer games and cartoons

Stop and watch us all get lost

Between God and a shot of scotch, let's get fly

They want us to fight, but we just want to get high

Work all day, all night, trying to get fly

When I get some money I'mma buy me some time

I can't fight your war until I'm finished with mine
