Fly Fly Away Lyrics - Kero One

(Verse 1) 

In this game I don't claim to be a veteran, 

Im just spittin lyrical Excedrin for brethren, 

medicine to keep your head from spinning when 

rappers mumble jargon, I fumble rhymes and start an arson 

burning gassed up heads and sparking light to brighten dark ends 

of the mind, now let it shine 

so we can all be the kerosene 

fearing no team man or human being are you believing? 

if I speak truth will I lose market share? 

cause its something the public wont digest in its ears? 

well I don't care. Im rolling on spares 

on the road surpassing obstacles thats there 

and I swear Ill hold down the fort like mayor 

as a temporary duty since my home aint here 

I said I swear I hold down the fort like mayor 

as a love for the people since my home aint here 

and its time... 

(verse 2) 

I feel like an alien outcast in a world so vast 

searching miles for my niche but lost in the mist 

so whats the answer to this... 

cause one always exists, with every question that hits 

and yeah, some hit like Tyson, hard to the jaw 

impairing your ability to answer at all 

leaving the question in awe cause we aint trying to fight back 

but if we're born with teeth we're born to bite back 

so I ask, how long does life lasts 

regardless of color or age can it go in a flash 

well in fact, it really only lasts a minute versus the infinite 

a concept too intricate for the intellect 

so some get intimate with earths filthiness 

where melodies are dark and humans are used as instruments 

where drugs and booze are often abused 

best friends stab backs then wrap their arms around you 

where its true lives are driven by power and fame 

driven by sex, success, approval, and pain 

and for what? Nothings left when we're driven to graves 

just memories of the past, or a loved ones pain 

and its real whats seen today fades away 

but the unseens eternal so I cherish its stay 

the un-American way but I must maintain 

cause if I forfeit my soul, then whats been gained? 

(verse 3) 

So sometimes, I grab my pen and write rhymes 

my mind breathes when the ink flows into nighttime 

I plant seeds, and watch em grow into trees 

produce fruit from leaves and feed the people in need 

and thats the truth if that fruit is wealthy 

who cares if musics moving if the products unhealthy 

Im looking at the crowd for that one who felt me 

helping' me raise the bet on these cards God dealt me 

but still some doubt its worth pursuing 

we've all been given gifts so now how we going to use em 

Im on the outside looking in at the confusion 

I been there before swinging fists at those illusions 

now I fight the hands of time, with my might 

so my life can be seen as worthy in hindsight 

I clutch my mic tight and ponder the way 

reflecting back sometimes on this temporary stay 

but I won't get attached cause I know where home is 

and reach out to souls that are currently homeless 

cause some claim the earth and clown around till it hurts us 

in this circus a juggling act that makes me nervous 

maybe its entertaining when you look at its surface 

but step outside the ring and ask is it all worth it 

just step outside the ring and ask is it all worth it 

just step outside the ring on this temporary stay..
