12 Flights Up

(album: In Association - 2010)

Where do we go from here? 12 Flights Up
If you see the world how I see the world
And you're looking at the window I'm looking at
Where my feet stand, you'll understand

The money goes fast
The life goes fast
You're speeding through the lights
And the lights don't flash
You go fast forward
[?]
And the world looks different through the champagne glass
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray hooray)
The money goes fast
The life goes fast
You're speeding through the lights
And the lights don't flash
You go fast forward
[?]
And the world looks different from the penthouse glass
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray hooray)

Uh uh uh, yes
Mother fuck how you see them?
How you picture the rest?
Same way you that you see me, is how I picture success
God rode in my hand, three piece up my chest
New bitch to the right, red seat to the left
And the waters clear blue, and I thought I had two
And the feeling so sick, I thought I caught a red flu
And she wanna save the whales, and I sought I cared too
But you can throw a dime, when the quarters there through
And the money goes (wow)
Its such a great view, when you're born to be a winner
This ain't such a breakthrough
In the very same breath, you can suffocate too
And that's just food for thought, and I make such a great stew
You only know the half
You only at the middle
You only know the words, till' you only at the [?]
You know that I'mma kill it, if you know me just a little
So if life is a bitch, its gon' be lonely as a widow
And if everything that you see, is what I'm destined to be
Take a look at my past, if ever you disagree
Papa he was a player
Mama she was a G
Music pushed me a long, when my brothers pushing the deep
I'mma a motherfucking boss here, boss here
Black [?], [?]
Shooting for the stars, I had Mars in my cross hairs
You don't understand, this is just part of the plan
[?]

The money goes fast
The life goes fast
You're speeding through the lights
And the lights don't flash
You go fast forward
[?]
And the world looks different through the champagne glass
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray hooray)
The money goes fast
The life goes fast
You're speeding through the lights
And the lights don't flash
You go fast forward
[?]
And the world looks different from the penthouse glass
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray)
Hip-Hip Hooray (Hooray hooray)

Look, as I close the "In Association" series and the entire project
From its concept to its execution from the bottom of my heart, I thank you
"The St. John Portfolio" thanks you
The world is gonna thank you
