The Departure |
| It seems like for days, my flight has been delayed |
| And I can see the plane sitting on the runway |
| But I heard there’s a shortage of pilots |
| We got the craft, but nobody can recall how to fly it So I’ve been in the terminal basement, creating |
| I ain’t giving in to imitation |
| Role playing? |
| na, this is my Departure |
| I’m taking off, feel the ground breaking |
| And I know what you’re thinking, rapping is lame |
| But that’s not how it has to remain |
| Cause somewhere in a kid in the back of their brain |
| Lies the answer to bring about change |
| Meanwhile we sing about chains hanging |
| At an all time low, put ya hazard lights on, ride slow |
| In circles cause ya not sure where to go |
| I wonder would you even care to know |
| CHORUS: |
| Prepare yourself for the departure |
| Strap yaself in, I’m about to start something |
| Next movement, this is a departure |
| From the usual, this is more suitable |
| Now I can’t proceed if I can’t see the past |
| So let me go back to see the (Cedar) Ave |
| Where it all started, so I’m traveling the farthest |
| Before we became marketing targets |
| Before the game was just rosters of artists |
| That all seem to claim to be the hardest |
| But I hear… just a bunch of little sean carters |
| You see em, they on every corner like starbucks |
| Now, get rich or die trying, so we all try rhyming |
| But there was a time when hip hop wasn’t bringing any loot in Imagine, rappers not rappin bout shootin' |
| Just being about the music |
| Only concerned with getting the crowd moving |
| The block party could hear it, innovation |
| Moving instruction always been a part of the lyrics |
| CHORUS: |
| Prepare yourself for the departure |
| Strap yaself in, I’m about to start something |
| Next movement, this is a departure |
| From the usual, this is more suitable |
| We at stand still for the time being |
| You know it, you see everything that I’m seeing |
| But I’m not leaving, even though this is the departure |
| I’d never abandon the culture |
| Even when I see most of My people are so close to Giving up cause it ain’t livin' up to what it’s spose to Listen I’ll depart if that’ll bring us closer |
| Exec’s look past me, cause I don’t fit in they boxes |
| Cause this is not gettin' a profit |
| I rap about reality, the recognition of Prophets |
| To spit what I believe, I gotta dig in my pockets |
| But I got this, no problem |
| Already in motion, nobody can stop this |
| You swear that it died from the past couple years |
| But I’m here to tell you it’s only up from here |
