Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fly away
Sometimes I wish I could fly away
Fly away
Sometimes I wish I could fly away
[Verse 2]
There was a young ghetto child going wild after running 'round
Who came from a happy home, then got lost in the jungle
Hit a lick for like ten chicks
Brought it back to the bricks then got everybody rich
Started his own clique, recruited all piranhas
His favorite phrase, "That's on, Hunters"
His **** trained to go wherever he point
You got shitted on or smoked like a joint
[Verse 3]
Her comes the line up, first 48 people remain silent
All his goons still remain violent
Damn, there goes another body, oh shit, sirens
Another bite the dust like Mickey Thompson tires
Lights flashing, **** stunt like the Grammys
No one's exempt, they'll sell a rock to your granny
Now here the part where jealousy comes out here to play
Hood politics official when they want you out of the way
[Verse 4]
Now back then we ain't never mentioned this word
Cause if you got caught snitching consequences fo' sho'
****'ll throw you out on the freeway with a shell in your dome
And no feelings is shown
Then look inside the eyes of these killers
A blank stare, that's stiffer than stones
Got you wonderin, where in life, where they went wrong?
Don't wanna cross these types, if you do, think twice
It's life saving, don't get caught slipping when you ice skating
[Verse 5]
When you stand still you could witness it all
Picture the vision from the fly on the wall
When you stand still you could witness it all
Picture the vision from the fly on the wall
[Verse 6]
Now when the sun rise, this young man sees money's a big deal
New Chevelle, wipe in the morning dew cross his windshield
Killer's saturation while the smokers run through sanitation
For the bags of hands, this young man
Calculating for the long run
Since ya homies been on one lately
No one's safe, he keeping his chrome off safety
[Verse 7]
Headed to the function, momma's gone, they children out cussin'
See this young man hit his bitch for all them **** she fuckin'
Knowing one man's been intimate touchin'
Till the big homie found out, gave his ass a concussion
He don't want nothing now, he walkin' on crutches now
Couldn't see him from the shoulders
He thinkin' how can he buck him down
Hold up, the eyes in watching
Gotta be more smart now, devise this option
Watch how the plot thickens
The clock tickin' his weak spot is a thot
Just notice he can't stop trickin', got him
[Verse 8]
Now this how it starts
He take a bat when he know to go play with his heart
Had his nose wide open while gettin' head at the park
She set the GPS location like this where we park
Now you know what's next
It's crazy how life can end all through a text
Got us all wishin' we was born with a vest
I know you prolly witnessed it all
But picture the vision from the fly on the wall
[Verse 9]
When you stand still you could witness it all
Picture the vision from the fly on the wall
When you stand still you could witness it all
Picture the vision from the fly on the wall
[Verse 10]
Jay Rock, what up though? I'm here with you
Let's give em a classic, you know I'm here to prepare it with you
Keep **** inspired, you know I'm coming to share it with you
And when the wheels fall off, I'll get out and put on a spare with you
[Verse 11]
Let me be real with you, mhmm
It's been selected, let me give you my fly on the wall perspective
Sometimes **** don't listen I'm hopin' this serves its purpose
'Cause that's some of the realest shit that you talked about in them verses
Hopin' they feel this shit despite how the devils is workin'
To avoid tellin' on myself, I try to speak in third person
See we done been through some shit throughout my lifeline
We was flies on the wall too from the shit we seen in our lifetime
[Verse 12]
And through these songs there were disgressions
Some stories we shared through music
Question if we in our right mind
Now I'm a new fuckin' fly on the wall
I wanna see how many rappers really write rhymes
[Verse 13]
And we been rockin' for a long time, Jay Rock
They ain't got a clue of the timing
I heard about you from Slay when you started shinin'
They ain't knowin' this our fourth collab from 2009 and
Slay heard about you from my **** Wack
But they ain't know when Top dawg introduced you ****
The way we out we always give you crack
Not knowin' that we had the raw just to split you, ****
[Verse 14]
To tell the truth, there's no problem we can't solve
So let me tell the truth again I'm so proud of how you evolved
And while me and Jay Rock kill these **** till they dissolve
I hope you appreciate my view as the biggest fly on the wall
