Fly Away (feat. Jason Ferg)

Fly away Run away from all the pressure All the pain that I been feelin on my mind Sometimes I wanna fly away Gotta be somethin better Tell me what's the cost of living my life Sometimes I wanna fly away Ain't gotta tell me how you feel Cuz I see the things you do all the time Sometimes I wanna fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away Nothin changed same thang goin on Another mother cryin tears Another name up in a song Really hate I had to write this Had to get it off my chest Took a knee for the peace You put yo knee on my neck And that silence is a privilege Why you see me as a threat If it's taken away Then tell me what you got left (Not a damn thang) It's clear to see my Black body Don't mean as much As your comfort does I could be another victim in the streets That they sing along too Another headline gettin played On the evenings news Double conscious got me guarded As I move through the world we in I'm just tryin to make it make sense Fly away Run away from all the pressure All the pain that I been feelin on my mind Sometimes I wanna fly away Gotta be somethin better Tell me what's the cost of living my life Sometimes I wanna fly away Ain't gotta tell me how you feel Cuz I see the things you do all the time Sometimes I wanna fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away Sometimes I want to fly Just to prove that I'm more than a mere mortal I'm a goldy man divinely Crafted from the ghetto soil I'm organic The cream of the planet By god's grace I keep standing I'm a king Whether its feast or its famine I'm slamming verses over soulful beats As I mourn the deceased The brother's life was snatched by the police I can't breathe was his last sentence How come the news never mentions That we just witnessed A modern day lynching Inside the breeze You can smell the tension Cops were fired But they still get their pension Cities are burning From historic resentment It's so tempting to drift into that bitter abyss With clinched fists I use my lyrical gifts Riddle me this What's the penalty for being a bigot There is still none That's why we're all livid Sometimes I want to fly away To escape the injustice that I see I should move to Ghana Build a crib in Kumasi (like) Fly away Run away from all the pressure All the pain that I been feelin on my mind Sometimes I wanna fly away Gotta be somethin better Tell me what's the cost of living my life Sometimes I wanna fly away Ain't gotta tell me how you feel Cuz I see the things you do all the time Sometimes I wanna fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away
