Chase Moore - Sovereign Airspace lyrics

[Verse] Started with a dollar and a dream Ended with two pennies and a nightmare But that's enough sense to know Don't expect the enemy to fight fair They slept on me for a price I gave 'em everything but timeshare We're sipping Hennessy and wine, cheers! Feel each others pain, but everything is fine here... Right? I mean you feel me, don't you? Don't fail me now, the fam's really hopeful They wanna see me take the city global But I got different motives, here's what my MO is I told them I'm more than a business mogul Blame that on the school that I didn't go to A teacher said it once, past tense She told me rap was my intelligence half-spent Now all her students listen to me in her cla** So in a sense I'm there now more than I ever was back then Back then she couldn't reach me, and we both knew To learn about the world, I see it with my own two See I learn from every place I go to And where I lay my head is home, guess I was home-schooled Uh-huh, so true. Long nights and short days Long flights and gross food, hot women and cold brews Chopsticks for the potstickers, a long wind or a short fuse lit Less talking and more music Drop gems, when there's less options it's more bullsh** Full clips in the pen to educate these fools wit' What good's a king with a fool's wit? Spark a flame to ma**age the brain. Part ashamed, I dream of you, but when I'm awake you aren't the same Art imitates you, and this body was made from hardened clay In light of that I've seen darker days This vision is vivid, I live it, don't get it twisted Light this Swisher in my ear, put that sh** up in the air Give me spitter of the year I used to want it, now I'd rather have you give it to my peers I know, I'm so contradictory. I'm hit-or-miss, I'm this-and-that Use what you want against me! I'm in and out the city I'm on a mountain with no service on it. I'm out of touch, stacking paper for this album, yeah, I'm working on it Show me how to slow it down. In any case I'ma smoke a pound, then I'll take my pennies saved and throw 'em out At any rate I'm broken down But I'll catch a break when it's broken down Probably catch a case and go to trial The lawyer estimates legislation throws it out We celebrate every day, FBA hold our ground Watch the mess you made get swept away, it won't get found We demonstrate and threats are made To pepper spray and hose us down Man without sin, religion without lies Success without struggle, prison and cloud nine They seem to go together, I figured it out, why? It's coexistence, though the difference is miles wide I'm honestly cold and spiteful Take my problems, prop them on my shoulder How they taught me to properly hold a rifle A prophet with no disciples. Man made his image in God's when he wrote the Bible to profit, I know the cycle Every day I see it, get locked away for thinking All in the name of freedom This ain't a place for a creative being Praise the people and slay the kingsmen Smoking tree out Fiat currency Burning down his paper kingdom I'm not gonna join 'em, I know the way to beat 'em Operate outside of the system – the way that they competin' Revolving doors, a spiral staircase Pulling thoughts from airwaves Anything above my brain's sovereign airspace The celly's hot, there's lots of hearsay. Meet at the Mexican spot with the chips, I'll bring the salsa verde I'll shoot a clay pigeon just to stop an air raid That means the sky is ours 'cause they've gotten their day Dropped Skrill Talk and made improvements since Just wish I could give you music in its newest tense Not scared of losing if I grew from it sh** they're about to lose the house that I grew up in Every loss is an opportunity to win Every ending is potentially where you begin I'm losing it, about to break out of this human skin No longer seek the admiration of these foolish men [Outro] This is not a goodbye... hell no This is a moment in time before the next hello Hello... hello... hello, is anybody listening?
