Sail Away

(album: Dream People & The Whiskey Wars - 2015)

Imma sail away
Imma sail away

I made it across the border, went and got a tattoo on my forehead
I keep living inside the moment, time moves slow in California
I been on my pray to god before bed, I been on my tip all of the doormen
I been on my smoke one and record it, I been on my smile at the reporter shit
Too many rappers are reaching me lately
I been in my hotel just sipping on JD
My shirt still plaid, my girl still bad, my ex still sad, my mind still crazy
Heaven forbid I end up back in Edmonton
I just made it out of 7th and Jefferson, you probably don't know what that is when I mention it
That's in the hood where people are selling shit
Last year in Crenshaw, on the border of Compton where the color of your shirt could get you in some problems
Last year off Hastings, in the heart of East Van, smoking on a great blunt, walking past a police van
Then shit got crazy dealing with them border agents
Denied after 11 hours I was back on Canadian pavement
Investigations on my Facebook cause they thought that I was someone else
And now I'm under palm trees in America, smoking the air

All the bullshit I been going through has made me who I am
I been overseas and smoking trees grown in a foreign land
I been sails up in this motherfucker, like my old man
Sail away from these motherfuckers
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Just like my daddy did Imma sail out on you motherfuckers
Aye, Imma sail away
Shoutout to my papa, he taught me to never be afraid

I been on my pack my bags and leave home
Greece to Italy, we gone
And everyone who got left behind so foul they owe me free-throws
We were swerving through the streets just tryna make it to the hotel
Driving drunk in Germany, the whole team almost went to jail
That's tour life, hit the Autobahn in my dirty jeans and my ripped shirt
That's sailing out to Crete and BEA had all us strip search
So many moments were right out the movies
Party with Onyx and open for Kool Keith
Fighting with KutMasta Kurt and the losing my shit and my dudes for not standing up to with me
Since I made it across that line, selling my mixtapes all online
I been on my run and drink a smoothie shit, then get back on the grind
I been on my guest appearance and cool style on an episode of Love & Hip Hop
My enemies is so pissed off
And y'all are steady getting jealous cause I'm surfing out in Venice
And counting all of my blessings
And y'all are gonna need a dentist, man I'm killing it so bad you won't identify the skeleton

All the bullshit I been going through has made me who I am
I been overseas and smoking trees grown in a foreign land
I been sails up in this motherfucker, like my old man
Sail away from these motherfuckers
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Just like my daddy did Imma sail out on you motherfuckers
Aye, Imma sail away
Shoutout to my papa, he taught me to never be afraid
Aye, Imma sail away
Just like my daddy did he taught me to always ride the waves

And keep looking for the horizon
Cause when the water's bad you won't get seasick tryna find it
Life is like a mast, you can't set sail until you climb it
It's cool to get some booty but don't turn into a pirate
Money's like a boat, stay afloat but don't go overboard
Cause everything you need is up ahead when you make it to the shore, my boy
One day you'll see your mind is like the ocean, unexplored and super deep
So be kind and think twice, the stars will all align
And the universe will take the wheel, everything will be fine
So stay calm and move on, they'll be upset that you gone
But don't let that shit get to you and fuck you up
My boy, if you learn one thing from me; you have to get your sails up to find your Hanalei

All the bullshit I been going through has made me who I am
I been overseas and smoking trees grown in a foreign land
I been sails up in this motherfucker, like my old man
Sail away from these motherfuckers
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Just like my daddy did Imma sail out on you motherfuckers
Aye, Imma sail away
Shoutout to my papa, he taught me to never be afraid
Aye, Imma sail away
Just like my daddy did he taught me to always ride the waves
