Fly With Me
[Verse 1]
Half-gentleman, class-schedulin, rap veteran
Fast peddlin through New York when its apt weather
And thinkin bout past presidents, no, not cash settlements
Talkin bout past precedents set by rap legends
Intentions to represent in my heart reside
Takin all this class tryna not let my art just die
Visions of this prism where dudes clingin to a system that just chew em up and spit em into prisons and the music that they listen to perpetuate it
And I been gettin faded cause it get me so frustrated
See, chasin numbers only get you stuck up in The Matrix
But I think that I’mma make it, this my affidavit
My soul ain’t got no backup, so I have to save it
Had to play this game for a couple years
Took a lotta shit up on my plate wit a couple fear forks in the road
Spooned wit a couple bitches
Took some knives to the back but I learned to stitch it
See life weighs heavy but I learned to lift it
Shit get dark but I learned to switch this light on
Shit get dark but sun shine when night gone
And this son told my mom that he gon be a icon
I gotta do it, I know a lot but I gotta prove it
Thoughts is fluid so I gotta get em drunk on my influence
Sometimes, what seems most far is nearest
So put your glass in the air as we raise our spirits

[Chorus]
Won’t you come and fly with me?
Come fly, come fly with me, come fly with me
Cause I don’t really got time with these
I don’t really got time with these, got time for these
Won’t you come and fly with me?
Come fly, get high with me, come fly with me
I don’t really got time with these
I don’t really got time for these, come fly with me
[Verse 2]
The future ain't written in stone, but the past paved in it
That’s why I’m tryna trailblaze witout makin a damn maze
That’s what I told her when she turned and hit me with this rare gaze
Like she ain't have to say much, I could tell we on the same page
Mark my words, she’s beautiful, beauty mark under her eye
Little makeup on but not too much, she don’t need no disguise
Eyes got some pain in em but the hope outweighs it
And we been sittin, laughin, discussin the different ways in which we can chase our dreams, be better than our parents
Bout how shit ain't what it seems, lookin past what’s apparent
Sun glaring on the river, I guess we all reflectin
Two beautiful messes, I guess we are perfection
I’m guessin that’s the lesson we all learn until we die
You gotta crawl, you gotta walk, you gotta run and then you fly
If we try though, we can hover for a minute and get lifted cause we lived it like we meant it

[Chorus]
Won’t you come and fly with me?
Come fly, come fly with me, come fly with me
Cause I don’t really got time with these
I don’t really got time with these, got time for these
Won’t you come and fly with me?
Come fly, get high with me, come fly with me
I don’t really got time with these
I don’t really got time for these, come fly with me
