Emancipator - Kick Back lyrics

The say "Jay, you hardly ever come around this way Used to hang daily, I remember it like yesterday You should've been there, you were missing from the crew Grew a little beard, now you look like an old fool JK." Ok, you're funny Let me start from the beginning I know it's hard to understand But I just really hope you get it Let it sink in See, I was drained by the pain when I went missing Chained to the everyday, same things and mundane I had a teen spirit, had to end it like Cobain Looking for a place, and escape where there was no rain You see, I had to get away ‘Cause every day I grew impatient Wondering where the days went Complacent Pacing, thinking to myself when I grew anxious Pleading, asking, tearing, “Dear lord, won't you take us?” Ok, you might be right See, I was out of sight But I've been looking for myself Through all the days when I'd Kick back and fade away I'd side-step, crossover into memory lane Gotta playback and replay that track Over and over What an iced-out past, I gave it a cold shoulder I would… Kick back and watch as the world pa**es me by I'll never feel that good forever You know, time ain't on your side Try to recognize The life you most desire's Never bound to arrive Until you reach for the sky Reach for the sky Get ‘em high Throw your palms up high You should reach for the sky And reach for the sky Get ‘em high So high And reach for the sky I've been running for so long Was trying to catch my breath and hold on Was so gone Soul was so wrong A heartbeat with no song or peace to hold strong Pleading, “make it leave” Made a plea on a cold dawn What I really need to be is a pro with no cons They're trying to find their limelight but getting a photon I just want a part; get my heart and my soul on Praying for a house, picket fence, and a mowed lawn Until they went ahead and took us Grabbed us by the ankle, flipped around Upside down when they shook us And that's when plans started cooking Some began to grow But all I had was ink; I just had to let it flow So, I cultivate my craft And I call it homegrown I was plotting in my room ‘till my speakers both blown So alone in my zone I'm trying to save the world not a seat on a throne Then I can… Kick back and watch as the world pa**es me by I'll never feel that good forever You know, time ain't on your side Try to recognize The life you most desire's Never bound to arrive Until you reach for the sky Reach for the sky Get ‘em high Throw your palms up high You should reach for the sky And reach for the sky Get ‘em high So high And reach for the sky
