Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cise Starr] Light as a feather when I'm floating through Readin' through the daily news, measurin' the hurt within the golden rule Centimetres of ether, I'm heatin' the speaker Motivational teacher with words that burn people Seein' the headlines lined with discord It's either genocide or the planet in uproar Never good, the rules of paradise are never nice The best laid plans of Mice and Men are never right I'm just a Vagabond with Flowers for Algernon An Average Joe who knows what the fuck is goin' on It's the hope of my thoughts that I travel upon Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone, so I'm [Chorus: Cise Starr] Driftin' away like a feather in air Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Ridin' the escalator to reach somethin' that is greater, so I'm Driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my soul take me away from the hurt and despair So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Ridin' the escalator to reach something that is greater [Verse 2: Akin Yai] Taking chances, word tap dancin' with wolves In an ice arena out there, deep in the woods of Arizona The sun be high, life's ironic, ain't it? Trying to be Dalí when I write Surreal Life, I paint it vivid Habitat crazy insane Watchin' propaganda six o'clock news and it's saying Cultures clash, poor black folk and white trash They revel in the cyberspace that might crash, dash To millennium a million miles of runnin' At the speed of now back, don't return gunnin' Rambo style, gung-ho child gunnin' Ammo blao two times, loud stunnin' (Stunnin') When I hit ya, lift you off the Earth like Ayo, take you right back to birth And niggas wonder why, they might wonder why This shit might happen but it does, they go [Chorus: Cise Starr] Driftin' away like a feather in air Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Ridin' the escalator to reach somethin' that is greater, so I'm Driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my soul take me away from the hurt and despair So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Ridin' the escalator to reach something that is greater, so I'm [Verse 3: Cise Starr] Treat you better than me 'cause that's the heavenly key To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be It's the knowledge and self-understanding of the things around me That becomes the wisdom that I need Livin' this life to the best of my ability Channelin' energy to my thoughts, attain symmetry Remember me? Because my prose remain gold I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangol It never ends, I keep it rolling like a cypher The first caveman bringin' fire Innovating and higher; to plasma states I raise the stakes It's double or nothing in this vacuum space I will, survive, divine the time to cry Fuck a hold or hide, I'm alive with pride And I drove the Chevy to the Levy But the Levy was dry, singin', "This will be the day that I die"
