[Intro]
Mmm
[Verse 1]
They say you can't reach your goals when you scared of heights
Even so, I'm still iffy when I'm on these flights
I'd rather die in the sky than get popped on the block
These world tours probably saved my ass from getting shot
Rocked sold out shows in Tokyo at age 20
And didn't have to change my style to get money
While the rest of these rappers tried to be Scarface
We was every city, Worldwide, sellin' our tapes
Seen a few hundred thousand way before I had a manager
Money in Australia, London, Canada
Labels couldn't handle us, radio was bannin' us
But all around the world real heads was understanding us
Booked my own flights, cash when I get there
200 shows in a year while you sit there
I'm sittin' where the oxygen's a little thinner
Eatin' breakfast in Paris, but I'll be home for dinner, yeah
(Wheels up!)
[Interlude]
Shout out to Canada, you know what I'm sayin', Saskatoon, Winnipeg
I hope y'all get your hockey team back
(I- I- I'm international)
Hah, shout out to all my peoples in TDOT, you know what I'm sayin'
With that bomb-ass roatzee, hah
(I- I'm international)
Shout out to Van City, you know what I'm sayin'
This weed almost leaved us at the Suspension Bridge, and shit
Fly-ass girls, hah
(I- I'm international)
[Refrain]
I got my boarding pass and I'm ready for the sky
Here we go, this is it, wheels up, now let's fly
[Verse 2]
Above the clouds, life has never been clearer
Flyin' overseas, doin' Paid Dues in Europe
Denmark to Finland, Finland to Germany
I could use my seat in case of an emergency
Thanks for the tip, now it's back through customs
One look at the pilot, I'm hoping I can trust him
Get accustomed to this life on the jet set
Nope, I don't smoke weed, but do I stay high? Yes
Impressive altitude, making power moves
Even when you ain't you still gotta keep that attitude
Stop in Southern Italy, just to eat Napoli
I'm chillin' with my peoples, I ain't trippin' on no shopping spree
My favourite flight is the one that goes home
Keep your family first, you can't do this alone
Fourteen flights, three weeks, jet-lag
But I'm livin' my dream, so I'm packin' my bags (Oooh)
(Wheels up!)
[Interlude]
Ports of Napoli! Shout out to Marco, Federico
(I- I- I'm international)
Man, when I'm out in Paris at the Louvre
Reachin' over the velvet rope to touch the Mona Lisa with my bare hands
(I- I'm international)
I'm standin' under the Eiffel Tower, makin' out with a beautiful woman
Haha
(I- I'm international)
[Refrain]
I got my boarding pass and I'm ready for the sky
Here we go, this is it, wheels up, now let's fly
[Verse 3]
Young Veggie say it's thirty thousand feet
I'm on my seventh passport, feelin' so elite
The captain and the flight attendants know my name
It's like I'm walkin' into Cheers when I board my plain
Cognac over ice, pre-flight
With the window seat and pillow so that I can sleep tight
I used to- I used to dream about the first class approach
'Til I found out Tony Hawk still fly coach
KRS take the boat, lotta rappers don't fly
Me, I keep the faith and keep God by my side
Having church in the sky, feeling so divine
Flying is the only time I get a peace of mind
With my seat reclined I meditate until my head is straight
From way up here all my problems seem featherweight
A little rough air, turbulence, it's cool
'Cause it's out of my hands, we about to land soon
(Wheels up!)
[Interlude]
Hah, and when I'm- when I'm not in Aki Harbour checkin' out some technology
(I- I'm international)
That don't come out 'til the year 3000
I'm probably in Spain, in Barcelona
(I'm international)
Tryna see everything that Gaudí built
And if you don't know who Gaudí is
Get the fuck off the block and go see somethin', man
(I- I'm international)
Haha
[Refrain]
I got my boarding pass and I'm ready for the sky
Here we go, this is it, wheels up, now let's fly
