FLY (feat. Big Jess)

I know that if I want to fly, I'll never get my feet off the ground If I don't let go of my past, and all the weight that's been holding me down I know that if I want to fly, I'll never get my feet off the ground If I don't let go of my past, and all the weight that's been holding me down I've seen some things, man, I've seen some things Sometimes it's hard to try and keep the faith I know the devil's coming at me with his evil ways But I'm riding on a higher frequency these days Hey, God is good, I've seen his grace When I was in the mud, he cleaned my slate When I was down and out, he released that weight Those are just some of the reasons he receives my praise And I am never alone, I can feel his guidance wherever I go Yeah, over a thousand days sober I'm never going back, no way, them days are over Set a course, set sail, then I burn the ship To make sure that I never would return to it It ain't worth the risk That old life is buried deep in the abyss, so it never resurfaces I got the courage, the focus, and the drive to flourish and thrive And I've never felt more alive Damn right, I got my hands to the sky Just look me in the eye, man, you'll understand why I don't mean to walk away But if I'm gonna see tomorrow, I'm gonna need to leave yesterday the way it was It's in the past, and that's that Too much comes and too many go Too unexpectedly For me to not see the potential That if you're seeing me, succeed Believe you're witnessing a miracle Anywhere is the next step Gotta bounce, nothing left here to see You're welcome to come with, but it gets tough keeping up walking with me And when you meet my people, know I surround myself with success And they expect no less than equal intellect, respect, ethics, morals, motivation, integrity, above reproach But they ain't all that far removed from you don't want no smoke No joking bro, you don't get to where we are going without showing You can face some threats all on your lonesome If I quote some spoken scripture, let it signify I speak the truth, refuse to meet my maker, justifying lies On top of why I wasn't seated in the pew, seeking views in the booth Seeing who's with me and who ain't abusing booze and dank And, dude, you think it came easy when the first time I was on TV Was a high-speed chase in 98 Now you're introduced to me, watching take my soul So much work went into being old That when you clown, I'ma laugh cause it just gets comical And I know that I'm gonna fly Grateful for those that stay holding me down And the ones that's been lifting me up Keeping me out that six-foot hole in the ground And I won't even try to lie To say I'm never gonna sin again Hope he forgives me for the flaw of my flesh And grants his mercy on the spirit within J Tweed, Big Jess, you know I've seen some things, man, I've seen some things Yeah, yeah I've seen some things, man, I've seen some things I know that if I wanna fly I'll never get my feet off the ground If I don't let go of my past And all the weight that's been holding me down And I won't even try to lie To say I'm never gonna sin again Hope he forgives me for the flaw of my flesh And grants mercy on the spirit within
