[INTRO: Norah Jones sample]
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
I waited til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
[VERSE 1: Sto-ik The Poet]
Yea come on
Lately been feelin' really sh**ty, all I wanna do is fly away
Maybe if I hit the bleezy hard enough I'll find a way
Cause every super hero needs to have a hideaway
They're laughin' at me cause they said that's only somethin' I would say
Yea okay, maybe that's true
Even though my flow is fresh, I never act brand-new
I'm sick of hearin' lies but there's nothin' I can do
Except tell another story through the art of tattoo
And inside of my heart I hold a spot especially for music
Right beside the memories of us actin' stupid
Drunk as f**, by the lake, smilin' as I'm pukin'
Nothin' but the homies all around while we're cruisin'
California: I love you lots
Even if I'm always screamin' out "f** The Cops!"
The streets will never lose a voice, you couldn't hush the block
I-E-M-C, watch us touch the top, now come on...
[HOOK: NORAH JONES SAMPLE]
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
[VERSE 2: Sto-ik The Poet]
I try to capture every moment and cherish it in a photograph cause
One day the circle of life is gonna overlap us
I would've told you how I felt but did anyone even ask once?
[Nah] Tough luck, that's what that was
My mother made me the man I am
My brother got me into Hip Hop, so can I jam?
I've been kicked to the floor enough, so can I stand?
Quit comparin' me to other people, I'm not them
[Amen] I'm in the place to be
Sto-ik The Poet, I'm an artist here to paint the beat
With beautiful colors of lyrics through the shades I see
Please set aside a minute and you'll know how great I'll be
Soon enough before you know it, I'll be all over the television
Speaking through the people like the puppets of ventriloquism
Channelin' my soul in every little bit of lyricism
I'm livin' out a dream, I can't believe the realism
So I...
[OUTRO: Norah Jones sample]
I waited til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
