Fly Away

(앨범: The Collection, Vol. 1 - 2015)

I love herb, I don't want to fight it so I take that weed and I light it
Ain't nothing in this world to make me want to stay
I want to get high and Fly Away

Looking back on my life I've come so far from the man that I was...
A broken, homeless, hopeless, empty shell, looking for love
I came up out of the gutter with a dream of having some kids
Knowing that the life I'd give couldn't be no better than the life that I've lived
But I've got one chance to break this cycle, make right all my wrongs...
I swear to Jesus Christ it hurts me just to write out this song
Though everybody's got their demons from the choices we make
We can either burn, learn, run, hide or correct our mistakes
Not caring about life just seemed so simple, shooting at little kids
Until I think about my daughters taking a bullet for something I did
Then everything that made so much sense is long and forgotten
I hate myself and I can't even remember the reason I shot them, so God tell me...
What's love if hate can break it?
What's life if death can take it?
I don't really believe in life or love...
So roll the bud

I love herb, I don't want to fight it so I take that weed and I light it
Ain't nothing in this world to make me want to stay
I want to get high and Fly Away

I wonder what it takes to be free, crying, confined in my misery
Ain't no pictures of perfected been painted within my history
I'm used to being the subject of peoples aggression
Left alone turning to violence and drugs for affection
It's like I'm walking this line between my love and my lust
The streets been calling me for years saying "why'd you forget us?"
I wanna go back so bad, invitation to my casket
It seems I'm torn between the man I am and a man of the past...
You selfish bastard
Acting like my kids ain't enough
They hug me saying "Daddy play with us before we grow up!"
So I throw away this gangsta mask
Before I watch my daughters grow into women on the other side of a prison glass
All that I ask in this life
I've been giving is to give back the life
I never had to my wife and my children
I pack a blunt then say a prayer, find shelter from stress...
And like Psalm 55 I'm gonna Fly Away and be at rest

I love herb, I don't want to fight it so I take that weed and I light it
Ain't nothing in this world to make me want to stay
I want to get high and Fly Away

Love is in the air tonight, but I wouldn't know
When I'm lonely, feeling like the world don't know me...
There's nothing here for me
Love is just a lie tonight and that's all I know
Because I'm lonely, feeling like the world won't hold me...
There's nobody here for me

I love herb, I don't want to fight it so I take that weed and I light it
Ain't nothing in this world to make me want to stay
I want to get high and Fly Away
