[Verse 1]
I learned to pick my battles at a young age
Been slipping some days, jump trains
An omission to exist above the chains
The only option is to snap them
You can ask me how
But every man will find the means
To manage when he cracks the ground
Facts are found beneath the surface
Again in a flash reject the excess
And find out what your worth is
World, I'm trying to search it through
So much obscuring our view
We ought to rise above it all
And see the truth
Somebody do us for this hook-it-loop-do
{And for some books to use}
Eventually become what you pursue
Dealing with the devil, never leading to the truth
Some settle debt to pay
These images accepted as true
Many men in court in the loop build from the root
{And we receiving us between us we receiving the broom}
Like what we trying to prove, what everybody been doing in tune
Got my life to live, a fight to unify and some broom
[Chorus]
Isn't it funny how often we stray into the opposite lane
Cuz everybody wasn't made for the one way
I find it awfully strange the way that we work and we stray
To deal with pain, got our sight set on some day
Kinda hard to complain when we controlling the plane
It's up to us to get the wings of the runway
It all starts with the first step leaving the birds nest
But really telling the world where we gonna burst next
[Verse 2]
Known as defiant, without a man known as your Highness
Time to get with the program, open both of your eyelids
Holly scrolls of papyrus are folded closed by tyrants
Controlling souls through stolen polls promoting violence
And we can't seem to get around the day to days in our towns
Without our faces being placed in the clouds
Elevated past the common men
Freedom is in the palms of our hands
As soon as we all drop the song and the dance
Instead of believing chasing paper planes
And settle beef, incredible things can be completed
When we finally see we are all the same
This ain't a game, no my brothers this is practice
Green will make it bang and we just filling in the gaps kid
Ill spilling cash and still leaving the craftsmen
Willing to build still I'm on, so put it into action
Got no time for bullshit and called over the crows
Cuz fools fold the rules written in gold
[Chorus]
Isn't it funny how often we stray into the opposite lane
Cuz everybody wasn't made for the one way
I find it awfully strange the way that we work and we stray
To deal with pain and got our sight set on some day
Kinda hard to complain when we controlling the plane
It's up to us to get the wings of the runway
It all starts with the first step leaving the birds nest
But really telling the world where we gonna burst next
[Verse 3]
Ain't no stopping the body rock
When they commence the shaking
Leave the product of hard luck
And cracking up the pavement
Take it easy, follow these roads that don't lead me
Handy-whipped my dear, my dear please believe me
Pushing common sense to the people is for the better
But these rappers get cheesy when they scrambling for cheddar
Please, division is 3 complete teams
Of beat-making MC's - See what I mean? [Mr. Green]
Taking off like having to leave the runway
I'll be back in November, if not, then I guess some day
Hold your breath if you keep wishing for death
Cuz this goose is flying higher and doesn't sit in the nest
Flapping wings to the clap of the snare
You all stare - By the end of the show the feeling is all YEAH
Yeah yeah the motto is not hard to follow
I lose the rock bottom and I jug-jug the bottle, like
[Chorus]
Isn't it funny how often we stray into the opposite lane
Cuz everybody wasn't made for the one way
I find it awfully strange the way that we work and we stray
To deal with pain and got our sight set on some day
Kinda hard to complain when we controlling the plane
It's up to us to get the wings of the runway
It all starts with the first step leaving the birds nest
But really telling the world where we gonna burst next
