Faaris - Take Flight Lyrics

I just got back from the studio but still recording
Livin on my own terms I could never live according
To whatever they have planned for me, my sanity
Lives between the lines of reality and fantasy
Yeah, and my goal is to bridge the gap
I opened so many lanes I get tired of switching paths
I know life can be a bitch, sometimes she be winking back
Cause she knows I'm driven but hesitate to fill the gas
My head is in every huddle, I'm never gon' miss a snap
Most people are only staying afloat or just swimming laps
But I've been focused on building a boat, something that lasts
Long enough to keep me going whenever the waves crash
Yeah, think I prefer a little weather
I think I work best under a little bit of pressure
I keep my thoughts scattered when I know I need them centered
I rip it all apart and then I put it back together
Look at these wings mama they grew
I took my leap of faith and flew
God don't let me lose this view
Until the day I come back to you
Yeah
Life is like a highway and they haven't grabbed the keys yet
I dove inside the water they couldn't even get they feet wet
I used to drive downtown to see my favorite rappers
Now I'm the one who's performing and then taking pictures after
Living like I already made it every weekend
Barely have my voice by the Monday morning meeting
I should probably tone it down but what fun is that?
I put it all out in the open but don't know what's coming back
Still waiting on the world to notice it
Overthinking when I should be thinking that I'm over it
Spending days at work and nights out
Either ways it's tabs opening
Repeat the same thing so ain't no point in really closing it
They wanna know just what it took me
Wrote enough to be a novelist until they'd book me
Always looked ahead when everybody overlooked me
Guess we'll have to wait and see everything that I could be
Look at these wings mama they grew
I took my leap of faith and flew
God don't let me lose this view
Until the day I come back to you
Sometimes being imaginative costs you
And the question is how many of us are willing to bear the costs of being different?
Being imaginative?
Asking tougher questions?
And I think we all have some reluctance to do that
