Frequent flyer, miles got my demons playing catch-up Pride matching my get-up
I spend it better than most. A lion doesn’t leave the jungle by choice. And when it was time to speak up, you were losing your voice Proving your noise only came from empty barrels
Annoys me, if I'm honest. So many did it for clout until they got it. Can we be honest? Really be honest? When the court of public opinion keeps people fearin' their judgement
What's really keeping you from it? Really keeping you from it? You speak, you say you want it for real. Then why you running for real?
You say you’re stressed, man, I was stressed too
You say you’re next, man, I was next too. I know the roads that you said yes to. Deep in depression, I was dead too. I can't go back
Feeling like I wanna die. Feeling like I'll never fly
Can I touch the sky? Clockin' in clockin' out. Now they see me I'm a topic now
I might drop another. start another drought
Wonder why they never see me, I was never around I was working, I was working doing over-time. Too busy thinking. Too busy feeling like I can’t get nothing right. I lost friends, I lost pride, I lost money, I lost hope. All my bills on the table, I see pain in our people, I know we might see some more. I’ve seen family turn to foes
I saw brothers on a high turn to fiends on the floor. Take my soul in the war, take my scars, let them show. If this is it, then let them know
I can't go back to Feeling like I wanna die Feeling like I'll never fly. I’ll touch the sky.
