“Flight Plans” is about long-distance love:
I wrote this song a while back. My girl of the time was living in America. It was a whole long distance thing. I went up to visit her for two weeks and she was like „The long-distance stuff is not going to work and at the end of this two weeks we should j...
[Chorus: Lila Ike]
My baby don't go
My baby don't go
I beg you please don't go
I beg you please don't go
My baby don't go
My baby don't go
I beg you please don't go

[Verse 1: Protoje]
Yeh
My flight plans telling me that I have two weeks to leave her
She telling me, two week she leavin' me
It mek her too weak to speak to me
Wah she say
Fortnight, fourteen days
She says to me 'Je nuh write outlines
White out lines
And just freestyle whatever pon your mind at the time
So me asking her like
Why you crying
An' not lying
Back to where I live
And girl I know to you it seem hard
But Uncle Sam want me out him country cause I don't possess no green card
No hurricane couldn't stop me
And apparently, all di watts in the world just a shock me
Cause I keep sane
Though single and alone
And not even a mingle when I home
Skin a tingle when I ring you pon di phone
You have to hand it to me
Read di future good, it mandatory
You understand di story is
[Chorus: Lila Ike]
My baby don't go
(My baby don't go)
My baby don't go
I beg you please don't go (please don't go)
I beg you please don't go (oh no)
My baby don't go
(My baby don't go)
My baby don't go
(My baby don't go)
I beg you please don't go (please don't go)
I beg you please don't go (please don't go)
[Verse 2: Protoje]

Telling me the obvious
Fresh up outta yaad right back to di metropolis
Haffi deh pon top a dis
You understand
Di countryman with contraband in Amsterdam, damn
That's the plan
Right down to a T
Front desk me lef a key, wid a name
She know a me
Me used to have at me yaad pon repeat
Now she deh abroad in my suite
Yuh nuh seeit
Kiss pon lips, no hello when we greet
Reach a level
Devil cuddnt heat and ice unnu cool down
Dry cries when I fool round
Inna her eyes a lot truth now
So much fights have been chewed down
Still A sight when she move through
Now it's right need no proof now
And so
Not to mention but lay up in her brain
Hate to see you on a plane
But you gotta do your thing and ting
[Chorus: Lila Ike]
My baby don't go (don't go)
