Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I would turn my headphones up and fly away
Blast off to the stars, 'cause I don't wanna think
And when I feel that hope is gone, he knows my pain
Can you help me, deliver me today?
[Verse 2]
Today, today
I wanna fly away
Today, today
I wanna fly away
[Verse 3]
Wish that I could fly away, fly away
Lookin' for a brighter day, a brighter day
Run away from yesterday, yesterday
And take all my ghetto boys and girls with me
Today
[Verse 4]
And even if we don't win, we ran a race
And put a big smile on our mama's face
Fly away, flyin' down the highway
Living in the moment with my shorty right beside me
[Verse 5]
Touch the sky, yeah
Take it higher
Way up till we floatin'
We let everybody know that
We gon' make it right, uh
Make it right, oh yeah
Today
[Verse 6]
I would turn my headphones up and fly away
Blast off to the stars, 'cause I don't wanna think
When I feel that hope is gone, he knows my pain
Can you help me, deliver me today?
[Verse 7]
Today, today
I wanna fly away
Today, today
I wanna fly away
[Verse 8]
I wish that I could hit the block
Chillin' with the homies
Posted on the corner with no cops
Checkin' on us
Take everybody that's with our houses
And make 'em on us
Free healthcare, I swear I do it right now
Today
[Verse 9]
To every boy without a father at home
If I could, I would make you my own
No single woman should have to raise you alone
Give me your hand, yeah
Understand, together we can
[Verse 10]
Touch the sky, yeah
Take it higher
Way up 'till we floatin'
We let everybody know that
We gon' make it right, uh
Make it right, oh yeah
Today
[Verse 11]
I would turn my headphones up and fly away
Blast off to the stars, 'cause I don't wanna think
When I feel that hope is gone, he knows my pain
Can you help me, deliver me?
[Verse 12]
Oh,and I'ma turn my headphones
And I'ma turn this head
I'm flyin' away
I'm flyin' away
[Verse 13]
If you can't stop me, you can't stop me
You can't drop me down
I'ma turn this headphones up
And fly away
[Verse 14]
I'ma turn my headphones up
And fly away
Blast off to the stars, 'cause I don't wanna think
When I feel that hope is gone, he knows my pain
Can you help me, deliver me?
[Verse 15]
I'ma turn my headphones up
And fly away
Blast off to the stars
When I feel that hope is gone
Can you help me, deliver me today?
[Verse 16]
Today, today
I wanna fly away
Today, today
Today
