The Griot Lyrics by MikeyyAustin

L I F T E D

2017

[Verse 1: ?]
And maybe I can fly, super-duper high up
'05, yeah, Lupe with the sky touch
I was tryna be patient, sittin', patiently waitin'
For the day I could make it
At the house with no basement
Way back in the day, back in that old apartment
Since then, I been on my journey by my lonely heart and
If you don't feel the love yet, feel the ello tryna spark it
Lyrics hit your heart like a target, practice, that is
So much I ended up being good at it
Guess it was destined, learnin' lessons of a black kid
Black is my heritage, black in America, black in hysteria
Black when I bury ya, put your inner back in the chariot
But I welcome the pressure, 'cause pressure make diamonds
Mmm, yessir I'ma keep shining
Mmm, yessir I'ma keep shining
Mmm, yessir I'ma keep shining
[Chorus:?]
I can't fly away
Y'all look the other away
I saw it the other day
I'ma spread my wings and fly, and fly today
And fly today
Fly today
I'ma spread my wings and fly, and fly today
[Verse 2: ?]
Some call it the daily grind, I call it waitin' in line
