Feather Lyrics by Nujabes

Modal Soul

2005

[Verse 1: Cise Starr]
Light as a feather when I'm floating through
Readin' through the daily news, measurin' the hurt within the golden rule
Centimetres of ether, I'm heatin' the speaker
Motivational teacher with words that burn people
Seein' the headlines lined with discord
It's either genocide or the planet in uproar
Never good, the rules of paradise are never nice
The best laid plans of Mice and Men are never right
I'm just a Vagabond with Flowers for Algernon
An Average Joe who knows what the fuck is goin' on
It's the hope of my thoughts that I travel upon
Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone, so I'm

[Chorus: Cise Starr]
Driftin' away like a feather in air
Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair
So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator
Ridin' the escalator to reach somethin' that is greater, so I'm
Driftin' away like a feather in air
Lettin' my soul take me away from the hurt and despair
So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator
Ridin' the escalator to reach something that is greater

[Verse 2: Akin Yai]
Taking chances, word tap dancin' with wolves
In an ice arena out there, deep in the woods of Arizona
The sun be high, life's ironic, ain't it?
Trying to be Dalí when I write
Surreal Life, I paint it vivid
Habitat crazy insane
Watchin' propaganda six o'clock news and it’s saying
Cultures clash, poor black folk and white trash
They revel in the cyberspace that might crash, dash
To millennium a million miles of runnin'
At the speed of now back, don't return gunnin'
Rambo style, gung-ho child gunnin'
Ammo blao two times, loud stunnin' (Stunnin')
When I hit ya, lift you off the Earth like
Ayo, take you right back to birth
And niggas wonder why, they might wonder why
This shit might happen but it does, they go

[Chorus: Cise Starr]
Driftin' away like a feather in air
Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair
So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator
Ridin' the escalator to reach somethin' that is greater, so I'm
Driftin' away like a feather in air
Lettin' my soul take me away from the hurt and despair
So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator
Ridin' the escalator to reach something that is greater, so I'm

[Verse 3: Cise Starr]
Treat you better than me 'cause that's the heavenly key
To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be
It's the knowledge and self-understanding of the things around me
That becomes the wisdom that I need
Livin' this life to the best of my ability
Channelin' energy to my thoughts, attain symmetry
Remember me? Because my prose remain gold
I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangol
It never ends, I keep it rolling like a cypher
The first caveman bringin' fire
Innovating and higher; to plasma states I raise the stakes
It's double or nothing in this vacuum space
I will, survive, divine the time to cry
Fuck a hold or hide, I'm alive with pride
And I drove the Chevy to the Levy
But the Levy was dry, singin', "This will be the day that I die"
