The Grey Balloons

(don’t worry baby)
(be on your way)

(don’t worry baby)
(be on your way)

Verse 1:
I used to wanna be somebody else
Blinded by misguided illusions of sex, fame and wealth
And I worried ‘bout my health ‘cause my heart murmur trippin’, stressin’
Like dreams won’t make a living, I’m giving
Everything that I had just to have my heart broken
Needed some relief, thinking should I start smoking?
But what would that solve except choking and light breathing
Biting on my own tongue is like teething
Man there gotta be a reason I’m going through it
I done seen people change so they wouldn’t do it
I was stupid, thinking life would be the same
But gotta take you through the storm just to see the rain
Open the windows of your mind just to feel the pain
Starting on a clean slate but I’m still stained, dang
So I’m holding on these grey balloons
Tryna see where it takes me, I’ll see you soon but

Chorus:
(don’t worry baby)
You ain’t gotta worry ‘bout me at all
(be on your way)
I’ll be back one day, ay

(don’t worry baby)
You ain’t gotta worry ‘bout me at all
(be on your way)
I’ll be back one day, ay

Verse 2:
I wish that I could remember the day I lost it
Any sense of cares I had was exhausted
Burnt through the tailpipes, driven to insanity
Everything I went through brought out the man in me
And God’s demanded me to spread that word
You got fans, suck it up ‘cause if they hurt, you hurt
I’m supposed to Paint the Sky to defeat that night
Be Lennox Lewis with the pen yo, I beat that mic
You read that right? It’s our earth, our turf
Rhymes juicy as Biggie, I (*sound effect*) and make the stars burst
Just like a lost purse, I found my identity
Happened for the first time like losing virginity
Eventually I’ll be the man I’m destined to be
You call it pain? I figured it’s a blessing to me
So I’m leaving, where’s my balloons? There they go
I’m gone for now and I’ll see you soon so

Chorus:
(don’t worry baby)
You ain’t gotta worry ‘bout me at all
(be on your way)
I’ll be back one day, ay

(don’t worry baby)
You ain’t gotta worry ‘bout me at all
(be on your way)
I’ll be back one day, ay

Verse 3:
You gotta have heartbreak to be great
They feel me for hit affiliate or cheese steak
Goodness for Pete sake
I’m going where the wind wanna take me
It’s crazy now these chicks wanna date me
Word, really?
‘cause when your status start changing
Friend turned foes, attitudes rearranging, it’s strange when
Your close friends disappear
Now all you got is yourself, music and tears
But the pain feels distant from here
Balloons fly me to the moon
Granny, I’ll see you soon
You was my heart and my soul but now you gone
The world didn’t know you but they will through my songs
These kids sell they souls, Lord, I pray you forgive ‘em
Everybody make mistakes but not everyone forget ‘em, get ‘em
You better grab a balloon
And fly away with me, tell your fam you’ll see ‘em soon and

Chorus:
(don’t worry baby)
You ain’t gotta worry ‘bout me at all
(be on your way)
I’ll be back one day, ay

(don’t worry baby)
You ain’t gotta worry ‘bout me at all
(be on your way)
I’ll be back one day, ay

Fly away with me, come and fly
Fly away with me, come and fly
Fly away with me, come and… fly

(don’t worry baby)
(be on your way)
