Fly Lyrics by AWATE

2014

[Hook]
Now, they say one for the money and two for the show
And I don't care if you're prepared 'cos I'm ready to go
Now let's fly
I'm flying, baby
So high it's crazy
And they say life's a box of chocolates
Whole world in my hands and I will not drop it, hey
I'm flying, baby
So high it's crazy

[Verse 1]
Now, if you take a picture of me and develop it, it's delicate
What you will get, you won't forget - like an elephant
My rhetoric is eloquent and peaceful, I'm see through
But not made of glass, hate bounces off like a beach ball
I see dudes, running 'round telling the kids to sell drugs
While I model it the opposite, I tell 'em to spread love
Spread it like Nutella, spread it really thick
I took a CAT Scan, it said I'm medically sick
With the rhymes, uh, with the flows
Close your eyes, I'm ahead of my time say the pros
Slip into a light doze while I explode like nitro
You are now in tune with the Eritrean maestro
Who fights against oppression, right hand full of blessings
Left hand full of super-covert military weapons
Ba-ba-blow Ba-blow Ba-blow-blow
Hey, teacher teacher, look at me now, now, now

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Welcome to my world, yes, this is my solar system
When I was young, I would listen to hip-hop and know what's missing
So now I'm here and I'm here to rap
Mainly 'cos I'm young and I'm angry and black
I mean, my history's been stolen, my teachers, yes, I told 'em
But they tried to alter my thoughts like Inception by Chris Nolan
No question, being a black man is demanding
And there was nothing calming, my anger was alarming
Excluded on a regular basis, classmates being racist
And I couldn't find a way to say this
Until I picked up a pen and started writing on the paper
And I became a scholar, not a shotter or a raver
And I'm thankful for the way that my life's changed, 'tryna live it the right way
Cos my story has always been quite strange
So I carry on and put my 'bally on so that I can go out and rob the whole world

[Hook x2]
