[Chorus]
Black astronaut, forecast report
How they actually thought that you wouldn't find your way
That matters not, it's an act of God
Can I tag along, now that you're in outer space? (Outer space)
Now that you're in outer space
[Verse 1]
Ayy, can I please breathe, three feet, no pressure
Ayy, soon I'll hit stratosphere and that'll lower the pressure
We diggin' for a happy that is deeper than depressions
From eagles in the deserts, assaults with a deadly weapon
But we leave it all behind with our other worldly possessions
No rocket ship to rally bеhind, so we reinvestеd
My time spent in buying shit that doesn't even mesh with me
I'm see through, but insecurities need they confessions
I needed space, once I seen the world, I got demons to purge
I wanna be the girls of my dreams' same dream to my girl
We were shorties, and all it took was a wink and a curl
To fall in love we didn't even need to speak or be worried
Or sneak in a hurry to keep she from hurtin'
Like sheep that were herdin', I hope we moved on
So hopefully when you thirty you move differently
The cool kid in me is a new temperature
New wave like the moon shifted me, now enters the-
[Chorus]
Black astronaut, forecast report
How they actually thought that you wouldn't find your way
That matters not, it's an act of God
Can I tag along, now that you're in outer space? (Outer space)
Now that you're in outer space
[Verse 2]
Black astronaut, in the class is shy
So, when the teacher roll call, ya name forgot
Had words by the few, never had a lot
But you knew that your mind wasn't the average
Like abra-cadabra, we made all of our doubt disappear
We used to be invisible, that was a different year
It appeared different peers tried to kill me with ideas
That whatever I would do was far from cool or fittin' in
Loneliness struck with a slight chance of rain
Black astronaut, they don't like you in space
Bright blue the day, find my terrain
Dare I to say, I'm on my way
[Chorus]
Black astronaut, forecast report
How they actually thought that you wouldn't find your way
That matters not, it's an act of God
Can I tag along, now that you're in outer space? (Outer space)
Now that you're in outer space

‘Black Astronaut’ is a song that deals with the process of going through adulthood but still hanging on to the childlike innocence of living in oblivion […] Believing in yourself undeniably, having no doubt, not [being] afraid of all the pressures of the world. It’s a song that I would have loved to...
