This shit means more than a check, can't you tell, dawg
I'ma die by respect, I'll raise hell, dawg
Some things are hard to accept, why you fell off
Well you don't know the half I'm here to tell ya
I remember days I was broke in the basement, I still felt rich, rich in spirit, I could taste it
Had some goals, wasn't helpless, couldn't waste it, so I took my time and found a way to make it, yeah
Now I'm good, yeah
I'm straight, I'll never forget all those things that I escaped, a life given, just another life to take
And all I ask is for you to remember my name
Before I fly away, before I fly away, before I fly away, away
It's all blessings, just reflectin', waitin' on a flight, chillin' in the smokin' section, I'll be gone tonight
No questions, any suggestion, listen to your old head, learn some new lessons
Right or wrong, it's gonna test ya, so when nobody answers, just leave a message
30,000 feet, walkin' all over the clouds, steps you gotta take and I've walked a million miles
It's almost time to go, wish it, wish it, slow down, but there's no time to wait, so I'm livin' right now, yeah
Before I fly away, before I fly away, before I fly away, away
Before I fly away, fly away, before I fly, fly, fly away
Fly away, fly away, fly away
