[Intro : Monelo]

I think I'm bout to take off

I think I'm bout to take off

When the going got rough, I made it past the tough

And now I'm so about to take off

And nobody can stop me

And nothing can touch this

I've ma-


[Verse 1 : Monelo]

The sun on my right

The moon on my left

Feet off the ground

I have been found

Three thousand feet up in the sky

Imma fly and reach the other side

Then why do I feel

As if I'm about to... crash


[Bridge 1 : Monelo]

What, why, when?

How could this happen?

What you mean I can't go out

How am I supposed to fly


[Verse 2 : Monelo]

What you mean this year ain't gonna pass?

And we ain't all gonna last?

Y'all acting like it's the apocalypse, stop talking shit

Just wear your mask and relax

Who the disease, who the enemies, who ain't warn us?

Beak of the doctors or beak of thе vultures

Hopefully this'll pass

But it didn't, now its a million

And I couldn't risk ending as anothеr statistic

So I had to lock myself in a white walled cell

I mean hostel, but y'all get the gist fam

So listen

Who could've seen this coming

Whole city looking like the set of Chernobyl

More depressing than the Great depression

Got the middle class begging and the upper class venting

So I went ramadan and stopped munching

Remember the first time I heard fuck the police

That's when I learned Hip-Hop got the power to educate the streets

But thirty years later ain't shit changed

That's what I'm afraid, what if the people never listen for a change

It's deep rooted, it's inhumane, there's always hate

How many wars do y'all need in the name of your faith?

Almost when atheist, done asking for blessings

Or what if this is the final test of the second coming (Oh My God)

I'm hitting that downward spiral

Forcing myself into sleep and living the dreams

Cuz I feel like I can't be no idol

In reality I'm just as weak and need dopamine


[Bridge 2 : Monelo]

These days are going too fast and

And this is why I feel

As if I'm bout to


[Prelude : Monelo]

Y’all prolly don’t like the sad me


[Verse 3 : Monelo]

What you mean this year gonna pass

Without me dropping heat before yellow stone competes

So when your gender reveals and its burning all the trees

That blue smoke is me and I'm all about that green

It's on Kline, gotta prove it to the bloodline

It's on Kline, gotta prove it to everybody who didn't get my name right

Make it to the headlines, make it so that TMZ get hit by my headlights

But the media is devious, they looking to slander

And distract everyone, don't listen to them anchors

I've seen a lot of bullshit

But nothing compared to the local news channels

But one day, I'm gon, rise up, take off

Higher than Lamar, Eminem, All of them

Till I, High five, God

Five months later and I'm out

Got my parole, now watch me sprout

I'm a free man like Morgan

But feel like Andy from shawshank

Now as I step in the ground of my home, I know that nothing's gonna end

Life goes on and we all gotta bend

I won't crash, On God


[Outro : Monelo]

The world is burning, I keep sobbing

Know he's watching, that's why I ain't afraid

The world is burning, I keep sobbing

Know he's watching, that's why I ain't afraid

The world is burning, I keep sobbing

Know he's watching, that's why I ain't afraid
