Take Flight Lyrics

I just got back from the studio but still recording

Livin on my own terms I could never live according

To whatever they have planned for me, my sanity

Lives between the lines of reality and fantasy

Yeah, and my goal is to bridge the gap

I opened so many lanes I get tired of switching paths

I know life can be a bitch, sometimes she be winking back

Cause she knows I'm driven but hesitate to fill the gas

My head is in every huddle, I'm never gon' miss a snap

Most people are only staying afloat or just swimming laps

But I've been focused on building a boat, something that lasts

Long enough to keep me going whenever the waves crash

Yeah, think I prefer a little weather

I think I work best under a little bit of pressure

I keep my thoughts scattered when I know I need them centered

I rip it all apart and then I put it back together

Look at these wings mama they grew

I took my leap of faith and flew

God don't let me lose this view

Until the day I come back to you

Yeah

Life is like a highway and they haven't grabbed the keys yet

I dove inside the water they couldn't even get they feet wet

I used to drive downtown to see my favorite rappers

Now I'm the one who's performing and then taking pictures after

Living like I already made it every weekend

Barely have my voice by the Monday morning meeting

I should probably tone it down but what fun is that?

I put it all out in the open but don't know what's coming back

Still waiting on the world to notice it

Overthinking when I should be thinking that I'm over it

Spending days at work and nights out

Either ways it's tabs opening

Repeat the same thing so ain't no point in really closing it

They wanna know just what it took me

Wrote enough to be a novelist until they'd book me

Always looked ahead when everybody overlooked me

Guess we'll have to wait and see everything that I could be

Look at these wings mama they grew

I took my leap of faith and flew

God don't let me lose this view

Until the day I come back to you

Sometimes being imaginative costs you

And the question is how many of us are willing to bear the costs of being different?

Being imaginative?

Asking tougher questions?

And I think we all have some reluctance to do that
