Let me take you back to '99
When my mom used to cry on the couch
Asking dear god why
She never had no money just to put in the time
Now she need a blessing like a ribbon in the sky
Back up in '99 we like mike what we singing
Chucks had em banging, my daddy was slanging
Dough, I'm so dope, my city filled with snow
Why you think I'm so cold
They asked me where I'm going and I tell em in the stars
My mind is in the clouds but my dreams on Mars
I never had no money all I ever had was wishes
Now I get crack money, without the kitchen
I slept on the street like every night
Ambition in my blood got me living right
And I ain't gotta quit yeah I gotta fight
Much is to my thoughts till the soul cry
[Hook]
Float on, I don't wanna leave, yeah I'll see you when I come back
Float on, don't know where I'm going yeah hope it's on the right track
Float on, I don't wanna leave, yeah I'll see you when I come back
I wanna fly like an eagle, to the sea I wanna fly, yeah
I wanna fly like an eagle, to the sea I wanna fly, yeah
[Verse 2]
I talked to my mom, she had bad news
My step daddy got cancer and the flu
The job car towed, they wanna let her loose
Lay off my hope devil, I pay dues
And know I can't snooze
Gotta get this money
Only back in school, more brain no sunny
Got a pot of gold, just for you foneys
Wrapped in this game pyramids for my mama
I wanna talk to oprah, cry on her shoulder
Tell her how I live my whole life not being sober
Tell donald trump that I just want his folders
So I ain't gotta live my whole life being a loner
I slept on the street like every night
Ambition in my blood got me living right
And I ain't gotta quit yeah I gotta fight
Much is to my thoughts till the soul cry
[Hook]
Float on, I don't wanna leave, yeah I'll see you when I come back
Float on, don't know where I'm going yeah hope it's on the right track
Float on, I don't wanna leave, yeah I'll see you when I come back
I wanna fly like an eagle, to the sea I wanna fly, yeah
I wanna fly like an eagle, to the sea I wanna fly, yeah
So right, so right, so right, alright
[Hook]
Float on, I don't wanna leave, yeah I'll see you when I come back
Float on, don't know where I'm going yeah hope it's on the right track
Float on, I don't wanna leave, yeah I'll see you when I come back
I wanna fly like an eagle, to the sea I wanna fly, yeah
I wanna fly like an eagle, to the sea I wanna fly
So right, so right, so right, so right
