Lyrics

Fly High [Hook: Singer (Unknown) and Jered Sanders] Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Like the birds and the bees Fly away, be free Like the birds and the bees Fly away, be free Fly high in the sky, in the sky I'm thinking I won't, but maybe I will I'm thinking I won't, but maybe I will [Verse 1: Jered Sanders] Man, I used to kinda thought I was ill and got a deal On the hottest rap label around But I'm stuck with these diapers and baby wipes Tryna treat the lady nice It's crazy, right? Feeling the clown 'Cause this W-2 life got me wanting carry two weapons Had a white girl flipping like it's Mary Lou Retton But I'mma swallow the pride 'stead of carry the Wesson Got a bride, homie, marry the blessing before the reverend She be checking like, "Baby, how you feeling today?" Same same, just a lot of time lost in the same game And I don't want no coffee to maintain This lame thing got a brother thinking a lane change, I'm saying Tryna get up out this box like I'm Shadrach Trimming all this back fat from cubicle sitting Finna make a move, homie, I'mma do a decision But the loss of green skewing the vision, homie, I gotta fly And I'm thinking I won't, but maybe I will [Interlude: Jered Sanders] Ayo, real talk I just uh I put my two weeks' notice in And my wife was like "yo, you serious?" And the crazy part is like Mad people think it's like a safety net but Like, real talk, it ain't that safe 'cause I wasn't making that much money Yo, that check was light! So I figured I'd be my own boss [Hook: Singer (Unknown) and Jered Sanders] Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Like the birds and the bees Fly away, be free Like the birds and the bees Fly away, be free Fly high in the sky, in the sky I'm thinking I won't, but maybe I will I'm thinking I won't, but maybe I will [Verse 2: Jered Sanders] [?] like I'm never scared to death of the numbers Or if I'm a star, homie, 'cause I kinda wonder If the sales take a L do I gotta try to squeeze out another Project before I get to the summer, 'cause it's spring up in my mind I be looking up to all my brothers And all them doing fine 'cause everybody love us But if we [?] cover and them numbers dipping under Them little checks every month will be a bummer Real, but homie, you do the math A couple racks made and I'm barely getting half After I give it back, you thinking I'm celebrity But I ain't living heavenly when I'm looking for cash, damn! Sometimes I gotta laugh, it's a messed-up process 'Cause even when the Father go and bless my progress The haters and the bloggers go and test my project and inspect my prospects And I'm thinking I won't, but maybe I will [Bridge: Jered Sanders] Blowing back, pop a tag, get a little fly Yo it's sad how the last thing I'm thinking is if I'mma get a Jag Oh I'm sinking, probably gotta pay the tax Oh they gobbling the last of my [Lakers?] And I'm a little scared but the truth is My lady and my two kids are needing me to do this And I don't need a silver platter out of Ruth's Chris To build a new foundation I needed new bricks, God [Break: Jered Sanders] We on my wife's health insurance, so they like That was coming out of my check, and you know The gas and all that stuff to get to the job I mean, I'm just saying, like Then the daycare for my son and all Yo, I can save this bread, man and really take off, you know? I'll call in sick when I That's when I'd go to the studio (laughs) That's crazy, right? I just felt like I had to have that at the end of the song, you know [Hook: Singer (Unknown)] Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Fly high in the sky Like the birds and the bees Fly away, be free Like the birds and the bees Fly away, be free Fly high in the sky, in the sky [Outro: Singer (Unknown)] Fly away, fly away, fly away Fly away, spread your wings, fly away Fly away, fly away, fly away Fly away, spread your wings, fly away [Sample: Dr. Tony Evans] "Maybe you remember the story about Big Dog and Little Puppy. German shepherd and a poodle German shepherd and a poodle were standing at a door, and Big Dog, the shepherd, looked at the poodle and said, 'You a little puppy. You can't do much. Look how small you are. Look how short you are. You know, you got that little girl bark (effeminate barking). I'm Big Dog, (deep bark), Big Dog!' Said, 'Look at this door. I wonder how long it would take you to open this door, 'cause I can open this door quickly, 'cause I'm big and I can reach the knob. You can't even reach the knob. In fact, let's have a contest. Let's see who can open the door the quickest.' Little Puppy said, 'Okay, you go first, Big Dog. Big Dog, you go first.' German shepherd jumped up on the door, got his mouth up on the knob (belabored growling and barking), and put his mouth all around the knob and started twisting at the knob, and after about two and a half minutes of working the knob, he got the door open Then he pulled it shut and he said, 'Beat that, Little Puppy. 'Cause Big Dog done shown you. You can't even reach the knob. Your turn.' Little Puppy came up to the door, gave a small bark (meek barking), scratched the door, the man on the inside came and opened it 'Cause see, when you know who's on the inside, you ain't gotta go through all that (belabored growling and barking). So don't let it bother you that you a Little Puppy. 'Cause if you know the Lord, He's got the key, and He can open up what the Big Dogs can't help you with." It Ain't Over [Verse 1: Jered Sanders] Yo, I spit flows in them night spots, we was underage And them church shows and them storefronts and we wasn't paid And I wrote rhymes and got cosigns in my mother's place And them 16s for the Source mag, how we come of age Man, I used to watch Power Rangers, notepad in my dresser drawer Staring up at my Jigga poster, Sam Goody for the record store Barely even knew God then, skyhooked through the alleyoop Z told me I was next up, had the city going ballyhooing, that's real [Hook: Singer (Unknown)] It ain't over 'til God says it's over I know I got a prayer through My past is in my rear view I cried a lot of tears But I know He made me something special I know I got a prayer through My past is in my rear view Can't nobody let me down, no [Verse 2: Jered Sanders] Yo, and then I dropped two records on 'em They spun black in the U.K Me and Jeff made a classic, dawg Hi-def like a Bluray Man, they heard it in the motherland Had it going up on a Tuesday Real talk, God did the flowers Giving them the whole woo, K If I never get me on another pedal Or I never get me on another level I just look back on my process And know God really took us out the ghetto It was God, homie, it was not Gipetto It was ours, homie, it was not the devil's So the rise wasn't a surprise when I realized I ain't never gotta settle, that's real [Hook: Singer (Unknown)] It ain't over 'til God says it's over I know I got a prayer through My past is in my rear view I cried a lot of tears But I know He made me something special I know I got a prayer through My past is in my rear view Can't nobody knock me down, no [Verse 3: Jered Sanders] And this the best and the worst times, I'mma tell you why 'Cause I'm tryna talk Christ to 'em, homie, where Berettas fly And death is really ironic, y'all, it's confusing, too 'Cause they shooting up the same churches hosting they funerals Ooh, I try to tell them God real, and He realer than air Realer than life, the feeling is rare Willing to fight, no realer than prayer Sit in the light and visit Him there (word) And I never made enough lemonade out the fruit that He passes But I'm finna ask for a ripe mix in eternity after Real
