Common - Cranes In The Sky lyrics

[Verse 1: Common] She seen pain in my eye Men and women at work, cranes in the sky We gon' keep building for our children's children Doctors keep pilling, love is a drug then d** can't heal 'em But listen to Lauryn for the healing, peeling back layers Pops used to hoop, I'm from a bloodline of players Love and sunshine like Roy Ayers Put your mind on the phone, I ain't coming back home I felt the d**h of what it is to be alone Everlasting love, money can't buy Can't hide from the truth even when I pop the lock Can't work it away, can't drink it away Can't laugh it away, can't think it away That pain come up on you like a thief in the day Searching for the sun, I found my Issa Rae Insecurity cold, imperial robes I used to wear my heart open like Ethereal Rose Now I'm carrying loads of baggage I don't claim If she start tripping I'm hopping on the plane Cranes in the sky, I know how the metal sound I never settled in life so it's hard to settle down Staying on my square trying not to get around Hold my lady hostile, she could rebel down Don't touch my hair, I'm baldheaded Kept my love locked down like it was all dreaded Wishing for wings again so I could spread it But now it's in a plastic cup of false beverage [Verse 2: Solange] I tried to drink it away I tried to put one in the air I tried to dance it away I tried to change it with my hair [Verse 3: Solange] I ran my credit card bill up Thought a new dress would make it better I tried to work it away But that just made me even sadder [Verse 4: Solange] I tried to keep myself busy I ran around in circles Think I made myself dizzy I slept it away, I s**ed it away I read it away Away [Refrain 1: Solange] Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away [Hook 1: Solange] Well it's like cranes in the sky Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds [Verse 5: Solange] I tried to run it away Thought then my head be feeling clearer I traveled 70 states Thought moving round make me feel better [Verse 6: Solange] I tried to let go my lover Thought if I was alone then maybe I could recover To write it away or cry it away Don't you cry baby Away [Refrain 1: Solange] Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away [Hook 2: Solange] But it's like cranes in the sky Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal... [Refrain 2: Solange] Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away
