Fly Away

Yeah

Nat King

Uh

Growing older, and growing colder, it's all the same
Ride it out until it's over
I put my heart in senseless things then lose composure
Live a life of regrets, and die with a chip on ya shoulder
Feeling heavy as I weigh out this boulder
Not many options as I want, so instead I just ride with the chauffeur
Never liked a back seat driver 'stead I'm calling the aux
Cause life's an endless road, I'm strugglin' 'cause it ain't many stops
Stare at the stars, still searchin' for glory
Just a problеm child lost in his corner stuck writing his story
Hate repеatin' myself but it come with the territory
Wishing I was still a kid when school was all that's mandatory
Work a 9-5 barely alive just ta come home from 5-9 then live behind ya eyes
Struggle on, struggle on watching days go by
Looking up to the sky arms wide like I can fly

Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
(Yeah, I'm just flying away)
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
(Yeah, I'm just flying away)
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
(Yeah, I'm just flying away)
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
(Yeah, I'm just flying away)

I was thinkin' 'bout the other day, n***** had to make a way
Money is time so never wait, was lackin' I got through the phase
Life is like a fuckin' maze, different chapter different page
Grown into the man they raised, my people they so dear to me
I keep real n***** near to me, strugglin' tryna fuckin' eat
N**** nothing been for free, spend a lotta time you see
I came from dirty Houston streets, since '93 felt like a G
Ten toes down that's my two feet, you six feet deep don't fuck with me
Always been up on the scene, I did some dirt this drink ain't clean
Leanin' thinkin' bout some things, been elevated off the green
Been makin' moves been livin' life, gon be great by any means
Don't fall for hoes get you a queen, cause hoes be out here sellin' dreams
Them ballers ball these players play, these real ones tryna make a way
And when you do get outta state, them haters takin' lives today
I'm tryna survive today, I'm tryna get live today
Yeah

Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
(Yeah, I'm just flying away)
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
(Yeah, I'm just flying away)
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
(Yeah, I'm just flying away)
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
(Yeah, I'm just flying away)

Thinking back to the days when I was just a child
Acting wild, smiles out momma useta feed my mouth
Never a worry or a care in the world
Didn't think about no wars or even bagging a girl
But now I'm chasing awards and got a more open heart
Who knew a fire would burn from just a tiny little spark
Spent my whole childhood just tryna run from the dark
But I learned to embrace it and write these words from the heart
I see my money's gettin' longer while my time gettin shorter
So I'm tryna tell these stories like a ghetto reporter
It's crazy n***** trade a life for a quarter
And write theyself inna box but my n**** I want outta this corner
Yeah
Darker days with hopeless nights help me fuel the rage
Fill the page, many books with stories I'mma share one day
I useta think that I'd be stuck in the cycle forever
But growing older let me see sum better
I'm gone

Ayo Nate, you good?

No
