[Intro]

(To fasten your seatbelt insert the

Metal tip into the buckle until it clicks.)

(Tighten by pulling on the loose end of the belt.)

(For your safety, and the safety of those around you

Please keep your seatbelt fastened at all times, while seated.)


[Chorus 1]

They're calling this the takeoff

You know I got no days off

They wonder what I'm made of

We're not cut from the same cloth

They're calling this the takeoff

This the day that they lost

I'll never take the weight off

Time I show them what I'm made of


[Verse 1]

I've been at this

It didn't just happen

You sleep on me, I'll take your mattress

There's no slackin'

I know back then, you thought how could I make it rappin'

And you started laughin'

So I put my words in action

Disappear your doubts like magic

Poof

This life I didn't choose to do

The who you should blame for you to lose

Is PHD, no school but truth

Is he's the reason that my screws are loose

Just know that when I'm on a track

I'll make you want to quit rap and work in a cube or two

A cubicle

I like my circle small

With nobody in my corner

I beg you to stop rapping

To my ears it's a form of torture

You're a pigeon, I'm a vulture

You don't push the culture

So don't make me kill your beat like I am Joyner

I'll destroy ya

If this doesn't work out then I

Wasted my energy making these melodies

People I'm better than getting ahead of me

Rhythm's would have them breathing so heavily

I'm built for this and I never had

Anything else sitting in my back pocket

All you ever want to do is stack profit

All my life all I've ever had is a back target

The time's that I fail aren't that often

The lyrics are me as I craft coffins

Casing the beat in a black harness

I dare you to call me a wack artist

Rewind your speech and then pause it

Cause I'll end up being that topic

The takeover is coming and nobody will be able to stop it

Sit down and watch it

Got it


[Chorus 2]

They're calling this the takeoff

You know I got no days off

They wonder what I'm made of

We're not cut from the same cloth

They're calling this the takeoff

This the day that they lost

I'll never take the weight off

Time I show them what I'm made of


[Verse 2]

You don't want to see the other side of me

Why do you think KNoWTe's always tried hiding me?

When he's writing he tends to confide in me

Then he lets it out, takes your entire team

Your entire stream

Tires touching true rap machine

Tip, don't push my button

Death's the cousin so I never sleep

But begin to befriend when on the beat

But let me keep it clean

Here's something we can all agree

Even at my worst I'm at your peak

You know talk is cheap so don't talk to me

But that's all you have so you call me trash

But you're the one that's inside your bag

Don't make me laugh

You can keep your cash

I'm the type to go off of the beaten path

Normal's not a word in my vocabulary

Say my dreams are imaginary. (So what?)

What's another bag to carry

I know that that leap is kind of scary

What's scary is being ordinary

Just another corpse that's buried

Dates and a dash in a cemetery

So I'm lighting a match on my adversaries

With a little bit of propane

Never gonna be life with no pain

If a little bit of strife is insane

Then I recommend you stay in your lane

This isn't for the easy hearted

Don't quit regardless if they say that you're lame

Your vision can't ever just change

If you wanna make change

One moment they say that I'm great

Next moment they say that they hate

Everything I rap and I play

But can't say that to my face

They just add salt to my plate

Hoping to burden my taste

They're only mad I just ate

They're never changing my fate

Thanks
