Lifting off

Lifting off
3
Lifting off, never been so high
4
I get on my plane and see planes go by
5
High enough to see the angels fly
6
Now that we back in the game, these lames gon' die
7
Lifting off, like the Mars rover or the weight on your shoulder
8
That held you down with the weight of a boulder
9
Whether a drug dealer baking the soda or a revolutionary soldier
10
We here for you yo, the waiting is over, cause we
11
Lifting off, off the ground, take you up in the clouds
12
Floating on the notes and tones
13
Until the condensation drip from my brow, we'll disappear in the crowd
14
Till I'm surrounded with sounds, count it down and we
15
Lifting off, five on it, used to the split the cost
16
Roll it up, take a hit and cough, relax
17
Keep reefer like a fifth of ros'
18
We make 'em dance like Kalashnikov, take 'em higher, we
19
Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up
20
It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up
21
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up
22
'Cause they like the rush, when they
23
Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up
24
It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up
25
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up
26
'Cause they like the rush, when they
27
Lifting off, I've never been so low
28
When I smoke, I don't wanna be dependent on the dro
29
For the happiness 'cause happiness should come from your soul
30
I sold myself, like at least you don't fuck with the blow
31
Lifting off, I tried to buy LSD
32
But a dred refused to sell it to me
33
He was like, well yeah, I got it, but that's a white man drug
34
Not for us, I said aight man, love, still I be
35
Lifting off, in the limelight, indication dazed
36
Shrooms had my mouth dry looking for the Gatorade
37
On a date with the high made me fade away
38
I left shorty at the table with a razor blade
39
Lifting off but see I'm getting off track
40
No tracks in my arms, I never fucked with the smack
41
Or the crack, only vice was the trees and the 'gnac
42
Until my man Jimmy got me onto Jack, throw it back and I'm
43
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up
44
It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up
45
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up
46
'Cause they like the rush, when they
47
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up
48
It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up
49
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up
50
'Cause they like the rush, when they
51
Lifting off, it's such a passionate high
52
No sense in passing it by
53
I'm like Inspectah Deck, the clouds are so far relaxed in the sky
54
Coming down, looking back in the Stuy', ain't no problem they
55
Lifting off on the daily behind the restoration plaza
56
Where they got a production of Alvin Ailey
57
At the theater named after Billy, she struggled with it too
58
If she was here right now she'd probably hit it too
59
Lifting off but still there's no excuse
60
Spread the myth that if I don't get high then I don't produce
61
These people acting like they want the truth
62
But the appearance of the truth is good enough
63
They don't want the proof
64
Huh, they get to too confused
65
They looking too confused, the pigeon flew the coop
66
I stay out the bubble but they keep me in the loop
67
Soon as I'm in the house it's through the roof and we
68
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up
69
It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up
70
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up
71
'Cause they like the rush, when they
72
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up
73
It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up
74
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up
75
'Cause they like the rush, when they
76
Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up
77
It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up
78
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up
79
'Cause they like the rush, when they
80
Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up
81
It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up
82
Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up
