Don't Look Down

[Chorus: Mos Def] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial [Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] Head to the sky, wings raised and She's about to fly, and take her place in Out there in the stars, when she leaves the ground She'll see a broken heart, if she turns around But ain't no going back, this is how it must be He told her she'll be burned alive, she just told him, "Trust me" If funerals are beautiful, this ugly Knowing this, he told her, "You won't leave me if you love me" And he knows that, because he knows her Hard to hide his feelings, as it engulfs her Now she's a bright blaze, light rays Are shooting out, a phoenix on fire burning up the nightscape So let's hear it for our heroine Applaud as her spirit just flies into the never-end One closed chapter, it opens up another part So this is more like, "The end... question mark?" [Chorus: Mos Def] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial [Verse 2: Kanye West] Don't let me hold you back, I only hold you back We're on a dead-end street, this block has got a cul-de-sac So fly, baby, my baby so high Sometimes it's so hard to say bye We made it from the alley, straight up to the valley We pulled up at the valet, we'll teach our daughter ballet We'll raise us a Beyoncé, maybe she'll be a Halle You woulda been the best mom, I woulda been the best 'Ye You see it all in my veins, like varicose I know that's very gross, but we getting very close To our end, though I kill most with a pen Soon as this flow end, I'ma let Mos begin [Chorus: Mos Def & Kanye West] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial [Chorus: Kanye West & Big Sean] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial Don't look down, it's an impossible view How could you do it? How could you do it? [Verse 3: Big Sean] Okay now, baby, here we go, we go, no baby, me go You got my heart, baby, this what it beat for I give it all, walk as far as my feet go What you mean, "Me go?" Why can't it be, "We go"? What happens when people turn to tears? (Huh?) Dreams turn to memories and weeks turn to years, huh? Been standing in the same spot for a couple of weeks Give me my feelings back, wish love came with a couple receipts Man, our vacation was coming next week Girl, I swear you was a trip, let's make it a couples' retreat (Do it!) How could my girl do this to me? Woke up to a note saying, "The world did this to me" Now I'm testing, one-two, reporting live from the rubble Drinking all I can, so I can turn to fire when I hug you One, two, three, four, five models on the double Give me head all at once, look like they lying in a huddle But it's not even half the feeling As hearing your "Sean"s, you know I love you Shedding tears every day (I know you do) And I'm tired of lying in these puddles I ask why sometimes, like a fucking vowel Been hitting trees every day, like a fucking owl Trying to get high enough to cut the clouds Of the Phoenix sun and Nash it out I mean ash it out, so I could see you smile I-I know you can see me now [Chorus: Mos Def] Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle, whatever you do Don't look down, it's an impossible view Spread your wings, aerial
