Chorus:
The first time i tried to fly
my eyes were open wide
I Spread my wings and never left the ground

Closed my eyes
To the sky, To the skyyyyyyyyy….

[mikal khilllllllll holy shit]
eyes vibrate, uneasy feeling i can’t shake
Yellow line slides by as I veer out of my lane
The show was alright but at this point i’d rather sleep tight
With a bed under my body and a ceiling to stare at rather than headlights
Alright, have I told you the story about back when…
Of course I told you the story about back when.
you in the passenger seat looking like you were tucked in
I’m sipping on coffee and forcing a laugh and a grin
Every exit feels like i could turn this car into a bedroom
But we’re only a few miles away, don’t stop it’s too soon
Doom awaits along the line of every shoulder
Lot of darkness in the trees and it’s only getting colder
I’m only getting older, much like both of my kids
I’m getting past the point where it’s not just something they deal with
Its something they learn from, a lesson i teach
A sequence, a code to crack, a chance to practice what i preach

[tribe one]
Everything you see was built from the bottom up
With a little bit of skill and a lot of luck
I gave it everything I got but it’s not enough
And all i wanted was to make a meal and an honest buck
I put the rubber to the road left a lover and a comfortable abode
Just to wonder whether anyone was gonna show
Hungry to compete and reap the trouble that i sowed
Then coming home with several hundred under what was owed
And I never stopped to offer up a thought of any consequence
Or possibly acknowledging the flaws
But no one ever got an audience off of following logic and common sense
And opulence has never been my measure of accomplishments
That's the legacy i leave my daughter and my son
A monument to following a calling til it’s done
My word is bondage promised in the songs I haven’t sung
So i’m hollering with water in my lungs
