Float On

Yo, bird's eye over cloud nine Took a day off, guess I'mma stay off And you could go ahead and put me in the sequel But we gave away the ending cause the beginning was see through Love, hold you close to my lungs, you're my equal Torn from my ribs, created on times easel But the common times hold the modern man down So I had to hit 'em with that modern man sound Back to the walls, bleeding from a tape deck I’m wishing on a star that I've never even seen yet I’m in the crevice of your stone cold presence And still I can’t talk with my money on the worst bet I'm on the south coast, smoking that home grown Waking up to strangers and sleeping in different time zones Maybe I should fly home, lately, I can’t take it Room full of silence lost in translation Maybe the fans hate him, maybe these souls love him Hearin' them sci-fi; word to my dead cousin And everybody I never shed a tear for Like what the fuck you care for? Baby I'm here for you Cause if these bridges fall down, I’ll be the ground for you And if this world stops turning, I'mma turn for you Walk through fire and acid ‘til I burn to ashes And resurrect with a fearless passion A nigga never gave in, baby, I put out More than I put in and I could never live Up to that bar that you placed above the stars Looking at you through the mirror, let me show you who I are Show you who I am : traveling man, like Mos def With this pain that I’m feeling lately, it's most def I walked the rope, bloody hands from the rusted nails Never let this world tell you love can’t fail Because the second that you leap, the ground will cave in From under your feet and your whole life comes crashing On to the next one, put your heart in other people Search high and low trying to find another equal And every time you go to sleep you see your life flash Can’t predict the storm from this manmade forecast So I coast like a ghost all the way home Up from the cracks and the smoke, I will float on
