FLY

[Intro]

I was taught that education is the only way to make it

Then how'd I get so much money inside my savings?

My teachers never saw the heights that I was fuckin' aimin'

Did the man who invented college go to college? Hm, okay then

Am I the only one that noticed humans on the same shit?

Y'all thoughts are sailin' on the same ship

And if that's the case, then that's the reason that you ain't shit

Let me enlighten you, my niggas, just let your brain drift

[Verse 1]

First of all, the best type of marketin'

Is marketin' that doesn't feel like marketin'

It makes the people feel like they a part of it

And when it's done right, corporations think it's marvelous

They feed us these ideas and they would place 'em in our hearts to sit

It's why players are good at gettin' chicks

It's why Nike is good at sellin' kicks

It's why Disney is loved by all the kids

Why McDonald's owners are super rich

We're too blinded to ever see 'em pitch

See, when this happens we take our health

Wealth, lives, and just hand 'em off

Thinkin' that we did this from organic thoughts

I know you seen parents trick kids

With candy, toys, and Santa Claus

The same method is used to trap adults

But instead of candy, it's with money, religion, drugs, and alcohol

Mention that shit and it's gon' arouse us all

I done seen niggas get into fights over cigarettes like a pack of dogs

They get you hooked and then they laugh at y'all

[Chorus]

I really hate to break it to you

But your life's bein' played with

You have not witnessed the world

'Cause you stuck in the Matrix

Everything we have been taught was all a lie

Open your eyes, open your mind, and fly

[Verse 2]

Man, can't you see we're robots

Who know not what we do and we got no shot

In the real world until we climb out of this ice-cold box

Your whole life has been part of a whole plot

To keep you at the bottom while they on top

Stay quiet, then they won't stop

They always tryna show us what we don't got

They do it to all of us 'til we finally break and go cop a gold watch

Knowin' we need the cash for rent, my ass is sick

Just thinkin' about how rich and powerful all these bastards get

They package ideas like it's oxygen

They make us feel like if we ain't got it we fucked and we cannot fit in

This fuckin' system is not your friend

And understand they controllin' your thoughts 'cause they got a lot to win

Niggas get turned away when I mention this

Ignorance is bliss, but I don't give a fuck, I won't censor shit

The Matrix is real and you done entered it

It's way too intricate for you to ever realize it you fuckin' simpleton

[Chorus]

I really hate to break it to you

But your life's bein' played with

You have not witnessed the world

'Cause you're stuck in the Matrix

Everything we have been taught was all a lie

Open your eyes, open your mind, and fly

[Verse 3]

Yo, fuck Hollywood! Fuck all these reality shows!

Makin' us feel lame unless we blowin' stacks on new clothes

Makin' us feel like we ain't cool unless we have a few hoes

Makin' us feel like we ugly unless we have a new nose

I see naturally beautiful women get Botox, fake tits

Fake lips, they so brainwashed and it doesn't make sense

Focus on your life and the path you pursuin'

'Cause y'all too busy worried 'bout what Kim Kardashian's doin'

Check it, most of this shit that you sheep are watchin' on television

Is fake as fuck and it's not real, I rebel against it

It's the Devil's business, they just reel y'all in

If they say it we do it, yo I'm tryna tell y'all, man

The system created the stereotype for the Black image

That's why my people are scared to be different

Why don't you get it? I'm done practicin' these ridiculous rituals

It's time I become a real individual and just do me

[Chorus]

I really hate to break it to you

But your life's bein' played with

You have not witnessed the world

'Cause you're stuck in the Matrix

Everything we have been taught was all a lie

Open your eyes, open your mind, and fly

[Outro]

Use your mind, be yourself

Don't be nobody else but you

You and the meaning of life

There's no rules, no rules, no rules

Fly away! Fly away!

Away, away, away!

Life's too short not to live it

The world is all yours, come get it

Just go and get it, it's beautiful
