Lyrics
You see the words I scribble
Dribble up off of my temple
Sizzle the beef on the griddle
Riddle me this, riddle me that
I'm with the illest killers in business
I been the realest since feminine women
Sending me pics over the gram
I keep it 100,
You funding abundant numbers of fucking bums
Steady filling they bitch up with your cash
Im in an intermittent position,
Spending an intimate minute with Bridget
Drilling her shit all on my dash
Follow my path
Or swallow this (uh)
Don't even ask me bout my problems shorty
Gobble these (uh)
Fondle me up, I dont need love
It's probably cause
My new model got that wobble keeping part of me up
I got a bottle of bubbly on my dresser because
I rather see the world in double since the better me was
A different entity with energy that mentally strug-gled
With identity that evidently kept me feet up
Only sleep with one eye
The other eye open so to see the sunrise
And thats a way for me to always see that I'm trying
When wake up every morning theres a reason I'm flying
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying yeah,
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
When wake up every morning theres a reason I'm flying
I seen
Visions of different versions of me in a big suburban
Or needing a fix on the corner, needles and pitchers of bourbon
Witness the coroner open me up by ripping the surface
Meeting the vulnerability that was in me, a person
Even a vision
Of where I heeded decisions made by the people that wishing
For me to feed my ambition with legal dreams and provisions that seem to me a condition
So much that I don't even see a future me as musician
Uh
My cards on my chest, hardworking and blessed
It done dawned upon me, like I was the word of the West
Don't play Donda for me 'til I get a verse as a guest
Im perfectly dressed, you looking like the worst of the best
Said I aint cool with number 2, yet I'm the shit if you ask me
Im like Lewis interviewing, they ain't driven right past me
If you booing then you foolish, like the 20's and Gatsby
Connoisseur, steady wooshing past these doodoo's like track meets
Only sleep with one eye
The other eye open so to see the sunrise
And thats a way for me to always see that I'm trying
When wake up every morning theres a reason I'm flying
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying yeah,
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
When wake up every morning theres a reason I'm flying
You aint
Usain
Too slow
Too late
I cant
Take you with me, you weight
And thats me talking to myself, I guess i need a new fate
Man I be worried for my health cause in the dawn I do great,
But then I see the dusk creeping and I foster new hate
If self-deprecation is a cult, I drank the Kool-Aid
My mental wealth depreciating, need to bank a few traits
Sometimes I'm tripping over nothing, need to tie my shoelace
Then I be beating myself up, like I was Kane and BlueFace
And as a Gemini, I wonder if Ndoke two-faced
Cause I can be a fucking dick thats word to Ricky Gervais
But then I meditate, elevate, renovate my surroundings
In a realer state of mind, the price of peace is astounding
Keep on thinking Imma find it in a booty thats bouncing
On my mama dawg, I think it's time to look into counselling
Only sleep with one eye
The other eye open so to see the sunrise
And thats a way for me to always see that I'm trying
When wake up every morning theres a reason I'm flying
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying yeah,
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
I'm flying (I'm flying)
When wake up every morning theres a reason I'm flying
