Airplane

He woke up with a dream and The fire up in his chest He tryna take these hard times And turn to nothing But success his mama working Doubles His pops ain't been around So he hit the block early Yeah, he tryna hold it down He was 15 with a head full of Rage Praying for a break But he's stuck up in a cage His boy Dante got clipped Wrong place, wrong time And now his name is on his arm In a permanent line He been fighting all these wars He been carrying all the weight He been running from the pain But it's never too late He been climbing up the ceiling He been pushing through the Fear But the top's getting further Every fucking year He met a girl with the light up In her eyes Said maybe they can make it Maybe they can fly But love don't pay rent and hope Don't buy meals So he's back on the grind Yeah, he tryna stack these bills His brother called They said he need him again But he's barely staying steady Barely playing pretend But the streets don't forget And the nights get cold And his soul getting tired of the Lies He been fighting all these wars He been carrying all the weight He been running from the pain But it's never too late He been climbing up the ceiling He been pushing through the Fear But the top's getting further Every fucking year He swear he tried God knows he did For his mama For his brother And his future kids But the weight's too heavy And the sand's too sky And his heart's too broken And his fight seemed too high So he's laying it down He's letting it go No more running from the Shadows No more chasing hope Tell his mama he loved her Tell his girl he tried but sometimes the strongest get Too tired to fight You are not responsible for the Version of you That exists in others' mind
