Fly With Me

[Verse 1]

Half-gentleman, class-schedulin, rap veteran

Fast peddlin through New York when its apt weather

And thinkin bout past presidents, no, not cash settlements

Talkin bout past precedents set by rap legends

Intentions to represent in my heart reside

Takin all this class tryna not let my art just die

Visions of this prism where dudes clingin to a system that just chew em up and spit em into prisons and the music that they listen to perpetuate it

And I been gettin faded cause it get me so frustrated

See, chasin numbers only get you stuck up in The Matrix

But I think that I’mma make it, this my affidavit

My soul ain’t got no backup, so I have to save it

Had to play this game for a couple years

Took a lotta shit up on my plate wit a couple fear forks in the road

Spooned wit a couple bitches

Took some knives to the back but I learned to stitch it

See life weighs heavy but I learned to lift it

Shit get dark but I learned to switch this light on

Shit get dark but sun shine when night gone

And this son told my mom that he gon be a icon

I gotta do it, I know a lot but I gotta prove it

Thoughts is fluid so I gotta get em drunk on my influence

Sometimes, what seems most far is nearest

So put your glass in the air as we raise our spirits

[Chorus]

Won’t you come and fly with me?

Come fly, come fly with me, come fly with me

Cause I don’t really got time with these

I don’t really got time with these, got time for these

Won’t you come and fly with me?

Come fly, get high with me, come fly with me

I don’t really got time with these

I don’t really got time for these, come fly with me

[Verse 2]

The future ain't written in stone, but the past paved in it

That’s why I’m tryna trailblaze witout makin a damn maze

That’s what I told her when she turned and hit me with this rare gaze

Like she ain't have to say much, I could tell we on the same page

Mark my words, she’s beautiful, beauty mark under her eye

Little makeup on but not too much, she don’t need no disguise

Eyes got some pain in em but the hope outweighs it

And we been sittin, laughin, discussin the different ways in which we can chase our dreams, be better than our parents

Bout how shit ain't what it seems, lookin past what’s apparent

Sun glaring on the river, I guess we all reflectin

Two beautiful messes, I guess we are perfection

I’m guessin that’s the lesson we all learn until we die

You gotta crawl, you gotta walk, you gotta run and then you fly

If we try though, we can hover for a minute and get lifted cause we lived it like we meant it

[Chorus]

Won’t you come and fly with me?

Come fly, come fly with me, come fly with me

Cause I don’t really got time with these

I don’t really got time with these, got time for these

Won’t you come and fly with me?

Come fly, get high with me, come fly with me

I don’t really got time with these

I don’t really got time for these, come fly with me
