lyrics

Verse One
So radical to want to to be free
Guess I knew that that could be dangerous
Can't hang with us removing nooses
Bear my soul I‘ma spiritual nudist
Lost the flow in choppy life movement
Devil at my soul the percent switch for
Spirits dead wrong so that spirits done flown
Got to get it back quick fore it gets too far gone
What you are about to, to witness is
Transformation current state is
Get some status stack your paper
Change your placement, don't get famous
You know the stakes is way too high
Just want you to feel what I feel
Peep the world from my brown eyes
Now I'm back again in the same spot why, why
Times like this we look at skies
All I see is clouds why do you hide
Is it in my mind, could it be that pride
We gone see in time
Right now I'm just trying to contemplate
Hopping on a plane with my dame and my daughter
Or pack it all up in a suitcase burn rubber all the way to the border
Screaming sanctuary, sanctuary
America is getting scary
Want baby girl to be carefree
Don't want her to see what I've seen

Hook
I cannot jump the shark that's word to Fonzi
Black Fish Make The Pond Gray
We all just out here scheming the world is Ponzi
Black Fish Make The Pond Gray
Just try to amplify all that they downplay
Black Fish Make The Pond Gray
And If I make that splash when I take that leap of faith
Black Fish Make The Pond Gray
Verse Two
Suppose to have a stamp on my passport never took the trip
One of life's loop when it splits at seams gone feel the riff
Now I'm in my brain trying to find the riff that's gone match that pain
Bet that love the shit
Black man cry get a standing O
Add some whips and chains get an Oscar nod
Need more Plies less Algernod
Frame your truth with an ill facade
Hold on man let me get at God
Need ordered steps can't see that far
I'm under strokes you see at par
Exceptional but not equal
I need this shine for my people
Rarely see just what the sun look like
That why I craft all my vision in the moonlight
Can't get it but I'm steady trying to do right
Maybe this wasn't meant for me
To like the tenth degree
losing my patience
Starting to get Flagrant
Smell it on me like a fragrance
Feel it all in my cadence
Sprinkle this truth with water from fountain of youth
Man Hope it never ages
Electronic pages
3-D tears
Heightened definition
To all my fears
And I could never shake them
Through all these years

Bridge
We be floating away we be floating away
Got me upstream fighting against the current
Don't go taking my love away
We be floating away we be floating away
Washing up on shore need a new wave to bring me back where it safe (We Floating away)
