The Feeling of Flying |
Intro: Brother Ali] |
Bismillah, ya Allah, I make this a song about |
About witnessing God through healing |
And let it be what it is, I turn it over to you |
Love, love, love |
I’m tired of crying |
Destroying and building |
I’m done denying |
I’m removing the ceiling |
My whole life I’ve been dying |
I’m getting busy living |
I feel like I’m flying |
I’m not asking permission |
There’s a cost for loving, it’s the cost of living |
Don’t remorse for nothing, I just pray I’m forgiven |
The telephone’s ringing, and the past is calling |
It don’t offer me nothing, don’t ignore it, just listen |
Survival tactics are perfect for survival mode |
But they no longer serve a purpose once your life goes on |
That suffering will always be a part of me |
But to serve suffering, is idolatry |
Shout out to Liza Garza, Samir and Aja Black |
Respect to Shaykh Hamza, one day I’ll pay y’all back |
What I learned my thirty-sixth time around the track |
I’m hugging every single curve, never looking back |
Pain is a revelation, what a scar is revealing |
Gone but not forgotten, thank God for healing |
Maybe the blessing that I’m missing in Salat is kneeling |
To to return me to my feet, I forgot that feeling |
I’m tired of crying |
Destroying and building |
I’m done denying |
I’m removing the ceiling |
My whole life I’ve been dying |
I’m getting busy living |
I feel like I’m flying |
I’m not asking permission |
I’m not asking permission |
I’m not asking permission |
I feel like I’m flying |
I’m not asking permission |
I’m not asking permission |
I’m not asking permission |
It’s the feeling of flying |
I’m acquainted with shame, I hated my name |
I validated their claims and I stayed in my lane |
I’m mistaking the chain, thought it was a lifeline |
Just because it’s been around me all my lifetime |
Success meant the world kinda felt out of tilt |
Survivor guilt made me try to kill what I had built |
And despair felt just like loyalty |
I saw betrayal and the day feel joyfully |
I done cried the blues, 'til my eyes refused |
To make water for sorrow too dry to produce |
I was tryna get loose, I climbed out of that noose |
Now how could I accuse, the Most High of abuse? |
I got a hole in my soul that the pain dug |
And now I let it overflow when the rain comes |
It’s the bittersweet taste when I make love |
I can’t trust it’ll be there when I wake up |
I’m tired of crying |
Destroying and building |
I’m done denying |
I’m removing the ceiling |
My whole life I’ve been dying |
I’m getting busy living |
I feel like I’m flying |
I’m not asking permission |
I’m not asking permission |
I’m not asking permission |
It’s the feeling of flying |
I’m not asking permission |
I’m not asking permission |
I’m not asking permission |
It’s the feeling of flying |
There’s a cost for loving, it’s the cost of living |
Don’t remorse for nothing, I just pray I’m forgiven |
The telephone’s ringing, and the past is calling |
It don’t offer me nothing, don’t ignore it, just listen |
I’m tired of crying |
Destroying and building |
I’m done denying |
I’m removing the ceiling |
My whole life I’ve been dying |
I’m getting busy living |
I feel like I’m flying |
I’m not asking permission |
It’s the feeling of flying |
It’s the feeling of flying |
It’s the feeling of flying |
