[Verse 1: Cise Starr]

Light as a feather when I'm floating through

Readin' through the daily news, measurin' the hurt within the golden rule

Centimetres of ether, I'm heatin' the speaker

Motivational teacher with words that burn people

Seein' the headlines lined with discord

It's either genocide or the planet in uproar

Never good, the rules of paradise are never nice

The best laid plans of Mice and Men are never right

I'm just a Vagabond with Flowers for Algernon

An Average Joe who knows what the fuck is goin' on

It's the hope of my thoughts that I travel upon

Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone, so I'm


[Chorus: Cise Starr]

Driftin' away like a feather in air

Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator

Ridin' the escalator to reach somethin' that is greater, so I'm

Driftin' away like a feather in air

Lettin' my soul take me away from the hurt and despair

So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator

Ridin' the escalator to reach something that is greater


[Verse 2: Akin Yai]

Taking chances, word tap dancin' with wolves

In an ice arena out there, deep in the woods of Arizona

The sun be high, life's ironic, ain't it?

Trying to be Dalí when I write

Surreal Life, I paint it vivid

Habitat crazy insane

Watchin' propaganda six o'clock news and it’s saying

Cultures clash, poor black folk and white trash

They revel in the cyberspace that might crash, dash

To millennium a million miles of runnin'

At the speed of now back, don't return gunnin'

Rambo style, gung-ho child gunnin'

Ammo blao two times, loud stunnin' (Stunnin')

When I hit ya, lift you off the Earth like

Ayo, take you right back to birth

And niggas wonder why, they might wonder why

This shit might happen but it does, they go


[Chorus: Cise Starr]

Driftin' away like a feather in air

Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator

Ridin' the escalator to reach somethin' that is greater, so I'm

Driftin' away like a feather in air

Lettin' my soul take me away from the hurt and despair

So, I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator

Ridin' the escalator to reach something that is greater, so I'm


[Verse 3: Cise Starr]

Treat you better than me 'cause that's the heavenly key

To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be

It's the knowledge and self-understanding of the things around me

That becomes the wisdom that I need

Livin' this life to the best of my ability

Channelin' energy to my thoughts, attain symmetry

Remember me? Because my prose remain gold

I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangol

It never ends, I keep it rolling like a cypher

The first caveman bringin' fire

Innovating and higher; to plasma states I raise the stakes

It's double or nothing in this vacuum space

I will, survive, divine the time to cry

Fuck a hold or hide, I'm alive with pride

And I drove the Chevy to the levee

But the levee was dry, singin', "This will be the day that I die"
