Lifting Off |
Lifting off |
Lifting off |
Lifting off, never been so high |
I get on my plane and see planes go by |
High enough to see the angels fly |
Now that we back in the game, these lames gon' die |
Lifting off, like the Mars rover or the weight on your shoulder |
That held you down with the weight of a boulder |
Whether a drug dealer baking the soda or a revolutionary soldier |
We here for you yo, the waiting is over, cause we |
Lifting off, off the ground, take you up in the clouds |
Floating on the notes and tones |
Until the condensation drip from my brow, we’ll disappear in the crowd |
Till I’m surrounded with sounds, count it down and we |
Lifting off, five on it, used to the split the cost |
Roll it up, take a hit and cough, relax |
Keep reefer like a fifth of ros' |
We make 'em dance like Kalashnikov, take 'em higher, we |
Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up |
It’s not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up |
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up |
'Cause they like the rush, when they |
Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up |
It’s not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up |
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up |
'Cause they like the rush, when they |
Lifting off, I’ve never been so low |
When I smoke, I don’t wanna be dependent on the dro |
For the happiness 'cause happiness should come from your soul |
I sold myself, like at least you don’t fuck with the blow |
Lifting off, I tried to buy LSD |
But a dred refused to sell it to me |
He was like, well yeah, I got it, but that’s a white man drug |
Not for us, I said aight man, love, still I be |
Lifting off, in the limelight, indication dazed |
Shrooms had my mouth dry looking for the Gatorade |
On a date with the high made me fade away |
I left shorty at the table with a razor blade |
Lifting off but see I’m getting off track |
No tracks in my arms, I never fucked with the smack |
Or the crack, only vice was the trees and the 'gnac |
Until my man Jimmy got me onto Jack, throw it back and I’m |
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up |
It’s not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up |
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up |
'Cause they like the rush, when they |
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up |
It’s not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up |
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up |
'Cause they like the rush, when they |
Lifting off, it’s such a passionate high |
No sense in passing it by |
I’m like Inspectah Deck, the clouds are so far relaxed in the sky |
Coming down, looking back in the Stuy', ain’t no problem they |
Lifting off on the daily behind the restoration plaza |
Where they got a production of Alvin Ailey |
At the theater named after Billy, she struggled with it too |
If she was here right now she’d probably hit it too |
Lifting off but still there’s no excuse |
Spread the myth that if I don’t get high then I don’t produce |
These people acting like they want the truth |
But the appearance of the truth is good enough |
They don’t want the proof |
Huh, they get to too confused |
They looking too confused, the pigeon flew the coop |
I stay out the bubble but they keep me in the loop |
Soon as I’m in the house it’s through the roof and we |
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up |
It’s not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up |
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up |
'Cause they like the rush, when they |
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up |
It’s not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up |
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up |
'Cause they like the rush, when they |
Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up |
It’s not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up |
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up |
'Cause they like the rush, when they |
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up |
It’s not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up |
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up |
'Cause they like the rush, when they lifting off |
Lifting off |
Lifting off |
Lifting off |
Lifting off |
Lifting off |
Lifting off |
