Paul Chander - Airplanes lyrics

[Intro: Steve Jobs] Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary [Verse 1] Never been the type to look outside for a shooting star Quick to turn down shooting balls or hooptie jaunts with dudes who called I'd just rather get the grade, sit behave, and hope to go far Friends eventually would taunt their asks to hang were all for naught But what's the point of following instructions all I ever did was trust in The pressure to succumb to the structure Duties of my parents who you know just truly love ya All these straight As just to slave until I'm grey and crusty Only when I retire can I do what I desire? f** that deferred life plan, this is my life span If I can work hard I can think of a plan to live life right right now while I can I don't even care if its risky all I got is 60 yrs between me and the cemetery Everyone against me telling me I'm crazy or naïve But I'm tryna find my true calling and live out my dreams [Verse 2] My heroes aren't people w nice position Whether it's CEO, prize winner or politician But people who pursue their pa**ion to make a difference King, Gandhi, Mandela, FDR, and Lincoln So just call me insane but know that ain't sh** changed Imma still refuse when you wanna get sh**faced Imma be in the field just winning the long race Imma hug the block like a box in an embrace I'm not looking for that temporary pleasure I'm looking for that betterment of man forever And I don't' like your blind adoration cuz lets face it If I'm unique I'm a scapegoat for your complacence I could have been a doctor filling prescriptions for patients Patching up the symptoms without treating the ailment But now I want it all, only solving the root cause So I go hard we're the ones we've been waiting for [Chorus: Hayley Williams (B.o.B)] Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars) I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now) Wish right now (Wish right now) Wish right now (Wish right now) Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars) I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now) Wish right now (Wish right now) Wish right now (Wish right now) [Outro: B.o.B {Hayley Williams}] I could really use a wish right now {oh, oh-oh oh} I-I-I could really use a wish right now Like, like, like shootin' stars {oh, oh... oh} I-I-I-I could really use a wish right now A wish, a wish right now {A wish right now} [Outro: Spencer Jackman] Born of immigrant sacrifice Bred on American exceptionalism This is the journey of a boy A boy who honestly engaged w both of his identities He betrayed the expectations of his traditional heritage He lost his faith in American politics and institutions But he emerged a man A man who lived authentically A man who refused to give up But chose to pursue his own path To cut to the heart of injustice And build a world where All could realize their full potential This is his story This is The Commencement
