Fly Away - Talib Kweli, Z-Trip, Z Trip

She’s got a ticket I think she gonna use it

Think she gone to fly away

(Where you going?)

No one should try and stop her

Persuade her with their power

She says that her mind is made

This a story we all familiar with

Yeah we all tryin to live worry free

Pretty young things affection is like currency

Talking bout a country girl living in a city though

Searching but she get her moral compass from these videos

Girl you’ll be killing and searching your faith or new tears

Courage under fire especially after a few beers

Already broke the resolution for a new year

They blushin cause they sayin it’s nothing inside a few years

Until I game across this dame I used to baby sit

At the club looking for this lame she had a baby with

Wait a minute you’re only 17 and she said to me

My baby gave me strength to leave the city life ain’t meant for me

Father can’t be bothered, I’m here to make my peace

So offered her some money but she started quoting Jay to me

I’ll do you one better, I slay these niggas faithfully

I don’t need you to pay for me, I just need to pray for me

She’s got a ticket I think she gonna use it

Think she gone to fly away

(Where you going?)

No one should try and stop her

Persuade her with their power

She says that her mind is made

When you call up and captain say that ain’t no hero

What you really bring to the table let’s keep the real dough

No matter where you’re going if you don’t get your mind right

First choose between two evils like this is twilight

She up in the kitchen tonight cooking the grams up…

Gotta take you to right the Peter Pan but

She gotta take it to… she got a grant…

She gotta take it to fly she had a lan and she try

She tryin to avoid the trap is like the cancer

The love and money run in the vein now she a dancer

Not the blow going in oh to keep her dancin

The high is the only escape, she like a phantom

A ghost just a sell of herself packing them pasttense

Closer to selling herself who’s in the access

Ain’t nothing left to shake let’s break it all down

Got then sign the vein she takin all now

Fly high, fly fly

Sky high, yeah

Hole up, where you’re going girl

Where you’re going, hole up

Where you’re going girl

Where you’re going, hole up

Where you’re going girl

Where you’re going, hole up

Where you’re going, damn

Damn, I’ll found her later that she don’t know who her father was

I’m like this crazy and baby ain’t gotta start the kids

She never met the real… foe they try to steal the goodies

And breaking into a candy store

We all in pistols and willy wanka for soldier system

Cause when we’re taking the gold and taking the coldest winter

Statistic and give me the true is pitchin

And out of youth the visionary gonna mission for new beginning

It’s hard enough for you… and it’s twenty block radio

It’s wondering who the father of the baby is

To pay relationships to her like sound fiction out to table

And public you write a buy you and provide it with the title

Body of a woman with the eyes of a child

Driven that she could… is it now

Want the future to be write us a smile she like the…

I see and spin it that, well a fortune is by vow

Hole up

I realized early that black girl is carrying universe inside their bodies

Waiting to be named whole continent

Land masses that were once connected

Flow through her arms fingers, chest, legs, stomach

Feet and head

Ghanna is her heart, her lungs charity

Her tongue I’m,.

her bones massai

Her breath Aboriginal her skin the color of Moroccan

Sand in south african sky lines

Her blue blood separates the land fro our riversand great legs

The place where we shit and drink

The place that we love and hate

Colonize and liberate

Conquer and rebuilt right and so up

Escape and imprisoned

The place where questions like if you a woman

Raise your hand will get you killed
