lyrics

[Prome]

Promised myself that I would touch the sky/
So I take a deep breath, shut my eyes/
Throw my hands in the air and just/
Cuz like learnin' how to fly just wasn't enough/

I started rapping when i heard Kweli's Knowledge of Self/
Now I'm just waitingg on the Grammy's while polishing shelves/
But for now though, I might start chargin for downlaods/
Cuz down road I'm tryna pay for college myself/
Call it squandering wealth, I'll probly never get in/
But ima go hard all the way down to my second pick/
Cuz, well, I'm not a fall back guy/
I'm a Fall Out Boy! and ima fall out the sky/
When my wings melt, see I remember when things felt/
Like I was good at everything, i could even sing well/
Say word? cuz now i'm singin like a caged bird/
I could escape but it's safe and I stay heard/
Behind bars, but you could never cage me/
Call me chicken, but i aint cajun i'm cage-free/
Chicken-little chillin, waitin on the sky to fall/
Cuz the day it does ima be fly by default/

[Prome]

Promised myself that I would touch the sky/
So I take a deep breath, shut my eyes/
Throw my hands in the air and just/
Cuz like learnin' how to fly just wasn't enough/

[Proda]

Promised myself that I would touch the sky/
So I take a deep breath, shut my eyes/
Throw my hands in the air and just/
Cuz like learnin' how to fly just wasn't enough/

I'm so airborn, swimmin in a dreamcloud/
Feet danglin off of Saturn's rings, ring, re-dial/
Voice-mail left my phone in the sky/
Live life lightspeed, bein epic, never dies/
I'm the captain of this crusade, cruisin' through the blue-space/
Losers never two-sake, i boost up and zoom straight/
And if my path looks narrow, oh well/
I inhale, exhale speed up then excel/
Through the vortex, seepin' through your cortex/
I'm changin all your core-specs, takin over more or less/
Knock, knock, knock, lemme in, lemme in/
I'm tryna change the world with the spin of my pen/
Let's pretend and make believe/
That i'm a million miles up in a maple tree/
And raining all on your head: it's the puzzle cuz I dropped the pieces/
Look what happened: I forgot the thesis/

[Proda]

Promised myself that i would touch the sky/
So i take a deep breath, shut my eyes/
Throw my hands in the air and just/
Cuz like learnin' how to fly just wasn't enough/

[T.O.M.C.]

Promised myself that i would touch the sky/
So i take a deep breath, shut my eyes/
Throw my hands in the air and just/
Cuz like learnin' how to fly just wasn't enough/

This ain’t a track to contemplate on/
Just break your back and rap like Akon/
Just state the facts and dash don’t play god/
No need for a hyphen enlightenments ways off/
Made off like Bernie, Rome's burning in spite of him/
Senses heighten while the tightrope is tightening/
Round my neck like a noose, light is truth/
Dark is too, stay balanced I admit it shit is hard to do/
So live it up, or don’t I could give a fuck/
Just promise me you ain’t stopping me when I split my gut/
On the sidewalk, listen to the sky talk/
Say hi god , have I got a story for you/
A warning is due, I’m courting the truth according to couthe/
Who'd have thought it’s this dormant/
Blood coursing, heres a course in whats important-/
-You actually thought I could tell you? Nahhh/

[T.O.M.C.]

Promised myself that i would touch the sky/
So i take a deep breath, shut my eyes/
Throw my hands in the air and just/
Cuz like learnin' how to fly just wasn't enough/
