See Me Fly

[Intro: John Legend]

Pull the ground from out under me if you want to see me fly

[Verse 1: Chance the Rapper]

Where I'm from, you learn to walk rocking ankle weights

The dirt road Forrest ran up out his ankle brace

Was getting chased down block for a bunch of reasons

If you was learnin' how to fly, then it was hunting season

And if you learnin' how to try, then it was try and cheat them

My momma seen it, said, "Boy, you better" (And I'm gonna take this shot)

You ain't gotta knock 'em out but boy, you gotta beat them (Risk it all against the fall)

You better look at every shot like it's your shot at freedom

Now fast forward, the kid is the king

Championship so big the box fit in the ring

They make 'em fantasize match ups who could in his prime

I could shoot from the logo with my foot on the line

That mean my shoes too big to fill

Future on free bands, my presence on the court like my past keep replayin'

My wingspan longer than the message at the bottom of CSPAN

Just a kid who put Heat fans in Cleveland for real

[Chorus: John Legend & Symba]

Pull the ground from out under me if you want to see me fly

Look at the sky up where the clouds at

The air up here is so clear we clearly on top

From out under me if you want to see me fly

We built this thing from where the ground's at

It’s our time to take flight we're cleared for take off

From out under me if you want to see me fly

[Verse 2: Symba]

Yeah, it's game time now, we gotta jump it like the tip off

Whole city been waiting on me, prepare for lift off

Never cheat the process, that's some' you can't rip off

Made it through the struggle and prosper through every pitfall

I can't sleep, walked in with game seven energy

The gang three, I come from the Bay, boy, I kill it, no more gaming

[Bridge: John Legend]

And I'm gonna take this shot, risk it all against the fall

If they can't hold me, can't block me

I'm up on this nonstop

Not earthbound, no, can't lift it, yeah, silk shot, yeah, no limit

Yeah, if they can't hold me, can't block me

I'm not stoppin', no

You can try to keep me down

Pull the ground out from me now if you want to see me fly

[Chorus: John Legend & Symba]

Pull the ground from out under me if you want to see me fly

Look at the sky up where the clouds at

The air up here is so clear we clearly on top

From out under me if you want to see me fly

We built this thing from where the ground's at

It’s our time to take flight we're cleared for take off

From out under me if you want to see me fly
