They Said There’d Be Jetpacks

[JGivens: Intro]
HB, west coast what up
Yo

[Verse 1: JGivens]
Quieters kept the rioter's neck
Kamikaze street fighter jet
Jackson's famous for trying to fly with the best
But in the west west

[Propaganda]
We dodged bullets from Damus and boys in blue, that's all we knew
Officer, boy I hold no weapons
Except the two attached to my wrist and the one in my chest
I said officer, I conceal no guns
Unless you count the one that sits in between my lungs

[JGivens]
One time's gunning
One time I hit the terminal running
With no baggage
My heart black tarmac-ing
Try'na be super fly

[Propaganda]
Fly?
But that gunplay's nothing but a runway
To seek truth the dumb way
Some say learn from your mistakes, but it takes
No genius to see jumping off the deep leads to bone breaks
Take a break to pump yours
That's fly

[JGivens]
My ex asked why
Told her Jesus wept when I left, that's right
Really thought I was gon' marry you
Terrible mistake in my backpack
Full of books for a parachute
Vanity, parasail the truth

[Propaganda]
And we was itching to leave, success was anywhere but home
But the fabric of this city, it stayed stitched in our chromosomes
Tried to leave twice, but God kept cancelling the flight
The concept's hard for me the bite, this right here is your life
And life is good, fight is good, flight is good
A trendsetter, a jet setter, will make your hood better
But better get your etiquette together
Whatever you decide
Just make it fly

[Hook: JGivens] (x2)
That's right
One time I take you too high
Too high, to high for my mind
But if tomorrow comes calling imma be all right
Be all right
That's fly

[Verse 2: JGivens]
Give me a minute, I've been waiting to say this
I've been waiting to speak on this since the beginning
Like since the creation
I remember when they told the big homie he's too creative
And now I feel like they only choose you if they view you famous
Hey don't be foolish, too
Gotta check our perspective of what true fame is
Cause true fame is only true for only one dude
You can't attain it
Misjudging like Judy
Foolishly scribbling on the paper
The images duplicated from a creator that's greater
This is the inspiration of David
How you figure we made it?

[Propaganda]
And remain not jaded or cynical, I've read
That the face of a coward is the back of his head
By the skin of my jeans, I've been able to keep my nose clean
And build up a team that elevates humility
That's fly

[JGivens]
Humility that's right
Return of the Nazarene, churn like the battery
Through the cracked sky
Whip fails, Chemtrails, trash can raps
And follow f-follow f-follow backs
Try'na out scale tomorrow's past, vanity
Now that's why
We don't have to view ourselves to be so high

[Hook: JGivens] (x2)
That's right
One time I take you too high
Too high, to high for my mind
But if tomorrow comes calling imma be all right
Be all right
That's fly

[Outro]
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard flight 1213 AB
Lip service to, it doesn’t matter
This is your favorite captain's favorite captain speaking
We'd like to thank you for flying with us this evening
Hopeless and I wish I'd come home you
We are currently cruising at an altitude of 30, 000 light millennia
Above the Mediterranean at 717 miles per hour
Please take this time to review the safety card
Handcrafted by the bad kids in the back of your seat back pocket
The time is currently 10 2 the hour
About time I pay attention to the in flight cabin crew
Who will be checking the decorum, sum of all the time
Flight attendant's cabin crew, please be seated
Ladies and gentlemen, we have turned on the fasten seat belt sign
Due to a slight violence of the wind that we're flying in
[?]
So apparently we have turned off the fasten seat belt sign
Super Lowkey
And you may now move around the cabin lower Manhattan
Look out below, to the left
You can see the beast underneath the surface searching for food
If a water evacuation ensues
Your seat cushion cab be used as a flotation device, parachute
Jetpack
Your seat cushion can be used as a jetpack?
As a jet - as a jetpack?
That's right, your seat cushion can be used as a jet pack!
They said seat cushions gonna be used as jetpacks!
They said that there'd be jetpacks!
Ah!

[JGivens]
Oh, we gonna keep that!
Cause you never know
