Take Flight (in America)

uh

got me feeling like

hit the ceiling, right?

now I just might...

uh

 

It's hard in america but bout to take flight

just a boy from the city who's been up all night

I see the silhouette in the match that I light

See the smoke from the weed and the wind on the kite

Cause even through the plight, nah it makes me feel bright

 

cause I wish I was that I was a little boy again

wouldn't have to worry about all this shit

now if something gets flipped, chipped or kicked

I cant quit I have to deal with it, quick

I either have to sit and not bitch

or talk about it in the rhymes that are writ

Cause this worlds fucked up

we got homeless kids covered in cuts

with no little toy cup

like damn like fuck

and then they act like we're stuck

while they sit in their mansion like they king tut

but you know what?

You can get on your knees and suck my big left nut

Cause all the poor folk are stuck in a hole

and all the blacks out there should be looked at as more

cause right now it's as if every single one stole something from the liquor store

Cause all the minorities, that's america as a whole

and I know we're hard to control

but lets take a poll

who's done all the work?

who's the desk clerk?

who's gotten beat while you sat there and smirked?

While you were a jerk?

who's out here getting murked on the day to day?

by the white popo while white america keeps paving the way

for a worse life for us all

with shopping malls

and starbucks in fall

like damn lets just ball

cause overall aw fuck it what did the ref call

 

Bout to take flight

just a boy from the city who's been up all night

I see the silhouette in the match that I light

See the smoke from the weed and the wind on the kite

Cause even through the plight, nah it makes me feel bright
