Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama, I just booked a first class ticket to my destiny, by the way
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'ma fly away
Maybe I'ma fly away, some day
[Verse 3]
Yeah, so gullible, just like my first love
Stay humble, but I knew that I was first up
Picked up the pen and that's when I drew my first blood
Spill my heart again, 'cause the pain'll never end
Happiness is temporary, always has been
I just lost one, but sometimes I win
I always spread love, but sometimes I sin
I only trust some, that's why I keep a few friends
Funny, 'cause I used to see my circle never end
Always kept like forty-seven friends in my circumference
All that's left now is the radius
They still here, tryin' to find love in this atmosphere
[Verse 4]
Things get severe for everybody everywhere
This my moment of truth right here
Swear I ain't scared of no man, I see the omens
I pick 'em up and keep it rollin'
The omnipresence is omnipotent
But I keep going till it's all said and done
I show all my soul purpose, but I'm pretty sure there's one
There's a reason why I've come, new season's just begun
This the death of psychopomp, but a birth of God's son
[Verse 5]
So don't mourn me when I'm gone, celebrate my travels
Whenever you need me, just take a plane to the astral zones
I'm heading home, I've been hurtin' too long
Time don't stand still, so you gotta move on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, yeah
[Verse 6]
I had a dream I seen my name on the gravel stone
And read, "Here lies a G, followed by a poem"
I couldn't see the words, but I'm sure what's in his own
Funny that I write most when I know I'm feelin' wrong
Went with both shoulders that my head is always on
I charged through harm's way, carry boulders on my arm
I feel strong as I walk through the many storms that
Rain on my parade, see the doves cry for days
I'm feeling like a young prince, I'm drinking today
My name ring bells all the way to Heaven's gates
Though STEEZy told about me, I know he always watching
I guess there really is a Heaven for us hip-hoppers
I really miss my partner, but I know he with Big Poppa
Tupac and the Big L rolled proper
And that's a big pun, know that I'ma join him
When my time comes, but the story just begun
[Verse 7]
So don't mourn me when I'm gone, celebrate my travels
Whenever you need me, just take a plane to the astral zones
I'm heading home, I've been hurtin' too long
Time don't stand still, so you gotta move on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, yeah
[Verse 8]
One day, I'ma fly away
One day, I'ma fly away (Fly away, fly away)
One day, I'ma fly away (Fly away, fly away)
One day, we will fly away (Fly away, fly away)
Just go
[Verse 9]
My clouds' gray, I hope my pain don't show
Looking in the sky, I wonder where them rainbows go
They say that if we reign, them pot of golds will show
Even skating down the block don't feel the same no mo'
If I ain't looking, I still see it all
My vision's jaded, too much bitches rubbed the crystal ball
They stay scheming, y'all like the sheep to the shepherd
The trees to the leaves, you're needed, but not needed
So I work alone, lone wolf, stay creeping
I'd rather hunt on my own then be owned and not eating
I'm not eatin', not blamin', I'm just sayin'
Go to bed with hunger pains while these other **** caking
They too fake
No rappers rapping for years, waiting 'round for that big break
Break a arm, break a bond before I go break the bank
Break a hundred, that's fifty-fifty as long as Rawle eatin' wit me
Seen different cities, different titties, all with no money with me
I'm on my grind man, no regrets when I die, man
Till we fly man, till we fly man, till we fly man
You gon' miss us when we fly, man
[Verse 10]
So don't mourn me when I'm gone, celebrate my travels
Whenever you need me, just take a plane to the astral zones
I'm heading home, I've been hurtin' too long
Time don't stand still, so you gotta move on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, and on and on, and on and on
And on, yeah
[Verse 11]
One day, I'ma fly away
One day, I'ma fly away (Fly away, fly away)
One day, I'ma fly away (Fly away, fly away)
One day, we will fly away (Fly away, fly away)
