Late For The Sky

[Intro: Evidence]

[Chorus]

Been here for too long, said it's time to ride

Got to push it on, cause I'm

Been here for too long, yes it's time to fly

Got to get along, cause I'm late for the sky

Been here for too long, got to uh

Cause I'm late for the sky

[Verse 1: Slug]

I dream what these wings won't do

Cause counting sheep is easy as 1, 2

Jumping out the nest to catch some bird food

Clutch's so tense that the knuckles turned blue

I been hooped to wise men, check horizon

Read the flight plan, spread the life span

Sky heights are set, it's time to climb these steps

We only tryna get free from the spider's web

Gotta murder all the messing around

Carry the burden of work, never setting it down

With a spotlight now, my shot, my chance

Put a plot of land in the pockets of my pants

Break loose, raise roof when the kick drops

They flew straight through, no pit stops

Lift off with your head in the clouds

Or get lost in the rest of the crowd

[Chorus]

Been here for too long, said it's time to ride

Got to push it on, cause I'm

(1-2)

Times have come and gone, yes it's time to ride

Early in the morning

(Late for the sky)

Been here for too long, said it's time to ride

Got to push it on, 'cause I'm

(Late for the sky)

Times have come and gone, yes it's time to fly

Got to get along

(Late for the sky)

[Verse 2: Evidence]

Here's a quotable, slash rap notable

Slash Mike gone but Janet still controllin' you

I'm rarely candid, my view panoramic

My eyes wide shut, if not one, a hole-in-two

I'm packing double, getting up too early

I'm actually trouble, kinda acting 7:30

(Out of my mind)

Attracted to this Earth, maybe acting kinda worldly

But running on my work that says Ev I better hurry

I'd rather worry debt than being pushed through the line

Still a perfect record jet, never late when I fly

Moving hectic, testing patience of this time when I rhyme

Not a nod to death trying, saying late for the sky

Late for my prime, but something that was shaped by design

I been running while the others burnt from racing the line

Makin' it great coincides with makin' it mine

Coincides with the hate that I'm makin' it signs

Let me start from the beginning, I'm rewinding the clock

Pitch my heart in every inning like I did with the knock

And it don't stop, a body in motion stays in motion

Coach seat between the wings of this Boeing

[Chorus]

Been here for too long, said it's time to ride

Got to push it on, cause I'm

(1-2)

Times have come and gone, yes it's time to ride

Early in the morning

(Late for the sky)

Been here for too long, said it's time to ride

Got to push it on, 'cause I'm

(Late for the sky)

Times have come and gone, yes it's time to fly

Got to get along

(Late for the sky)

[Verse 3: Aesop Rock]

From a chicken wire frame and a house of wax

To a rocket exploding into a cloud of bats

I been it, dog meat in the '76 Plymouth

Sittin' bitch, antenna divining for live witches

Have you buried a corpse, can you suture a wound

Do you get a fuzzy feeling when the beautiful lose

Like a behooving of a crew to snap Buddha, enthuse greatly

Prove a definitive crucible of mood-making

Four wolves find me to speak as an eye-witness

We will be closing in five minutes, find spinach

Not a pleasantry but stirring only enemies of mercy

A plebeian centipede's unearthing something dirty

Same nature later snap on his shoes

Maybe they ratty cause they actually a hat for his roots

That anchor every perfect pivot to the city's nervous system

Til I make the following preferred decision, listen

[Chorus]

Been here for too long, said it's time to ride

Got to push it on, cause I'm

(1-2)

Times have come and gone, yes it's time to ride

Early in the morning

(Late for the sky)

Been here for too long, said it's time to ride

Got to push it on, 'cause I'm

(Late for the sky)

Times have come and gone, yes it's fly

Got to get along

(Late for the sky)
