Take Flight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] So check the life of the new rap I write and choose Cause there's no other type of life that I would like to do And people criticise and tell me what they're thinking of it An immature daydreamer with a drinking problem So while others go to get careers to be a man I'm forever young and never age like I'm Peter Pan For me, the plan is working hard to feed a greedy fan And keep 'em amped up with every beat I speak on, man I play the best type of beats in my stereo And try to keep my happiness high, and stress level low I hit the road like it's part of life's episode And everywhere I go is sort of like a second home I'm soaking in the sunset and the summer breeze I'm feeling utterly inundated and under siege From the north to southerly scape suddenly We banging these beats, boys, from Byron Bay to Bunbury [Chorus] Take flight, I'll see you when I get back I'll see you when I get back Excuse me - excuse me Excuse me as I kiss the sky Take flight, I'll see you when I get back I'll see you when I get back (That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype) (I keep my soul tight and let these lines take flight) [Verse 2] Yo, I'm a tradie in the day and a muso in the night Then I'm going through some new tracks and dutifully I write When the weekend comes, I'm cruising on a flight To my next destination, get you moving on the mic From the mountainous ridge to the Valley of Bris I scour the rim of this land for the crowds of my gigs Whether it's out in the sticks or surrounded by bricks I got more pound in that fist like the Alex da Kid And I savour all the faces that I ever seen And next year, there's plenty more places that I've never been We're from a soil that is ancient with deadly beings Spanning the vast desolation to evergreens My destiny got me adrenaline packed From my pen and my pad to everywhere, I been on the map I spiritually levitate every second I rap These fleeting moments are history I'll never get back, and so... (Excuse me as I kiss the sky) [Chorus] Take flight, I'll see you when I get back I'll see you when I get back (That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype) (I keep my soul tight and let these lines take flight) [Verse 3] From skateboarding or wake boarding on clean waters My temperament is envious of extreme sportsmen Surrounded by recreational resources And all I do is sit on my arse like Steve Hawking But I head to the snow and get on the slopes Of Victoria mountainsides and perilous roads And I'm down to endeavour to get out in the weather And when I'm ready I get up to shred the powder or perish And so, from the heat to the freezing cold climates We're dealing with the needs of our greedy coal miners Plus, we got the symbol of simplified credence Who gave my stars in the sky, a stigmatised meaning, yeah From the opulence of gold and treasures My gratitude conflicts with unwholesome ethics And my memories are gems which I hold and cherish But they're like tainted jewels from a stolen premise It goes (Take flight... Ooh, ooh, ooh) [Chorus] Take flight, I'll see you when I get back I'll see you when I get back Excuse me, excuse me as I kiss the sky Take flight, I'll see you when I get back I'll see you when I get back Excuse me, excuse me as I kiss the sky Take flight, I'll see you when I get back I'll see you when I get back Excuse me, Excuse me as I kiss the sky Take flight, I'll see you when I get back I'll see you when I get back (That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype) (I keep my soul tight and let these lines take flight)
