Float On

[Verse]

Yo, bird's eye over cloud nine

Took a day off, guess I'mma stay off

And you could go ahead and put me in the sequel

But we gave away the ending cause the beginning was see through

Love, hold you close to my lungs, you're my equal

Torn from my ribs, created on times easel

But the common times hold the modern man down

So I had to hit 'em with that modern man sound

Back to the walls, bleeding from a tape deck

I’m wishing on a star that I've never even seen yet

I’m in the crevice of your stone cold presence

And still I can’t talk with my money on the worst bet

I'm on the south coast, smoking that home grown

Waking up to strangers and sleeping in different time zones

Maybe I should fly home, lately, I can’t take it

Room full of silence lost in translation

Maybe the fans hate him, maybe these souls love him

Hearin' them sci-fi; word to my dead cousin

And everybody I never shed a tear for

Like what the fuck you care for? Baby I'm here for you

Cause if these bridges fall down, I’ll be the ground for you

And if this world stops turning, I'mma turn for you

Walk through fire and acid ‘til I burn to ashes

And resurrect with a fearless passion

A nigga never gave in, baby, I put out

More than I put in and I could never live

Up to that bar that you placed above the stars

Looking at you through the mirror, let me show you who I are

Show you who I am : traveling man, like Mos def

With this pain that I’m feeling lately, it's most def

I walked the rope, bloody hands from the rusted nails

Never let this world tell you love can’t fail

Because the second that you leap, the ground will cave in

From under your feet and your whole life comes crashing

On to the next one, put your heart in other people

Search high and low trying to find another equal

And every time you go to sleep you see your life flash

Can’t predict the storm from this manmade forecast

So I coast like a ghost all the way home

Up from the cracks and the smoke, I will float on
