Fly away
Sometimes I wish I could just fly away
Fly away
Sometimes I wish I could fly away
There was a young ghetto child goin' wild out there, runnin' 'round
Who came from a happy home, then got lost in the jungle
Hit a lick for like ten chicks
Brought it back to the bricks then got everybody rich
Started his own clique, recruited all piranhas
His favorite phrase: that's on Hunters
His niggas trained to go
Wherever he point, you got shitted on
Or smoked like a joint
Here comes the line-up, first 48, people remain silent
All his goons still remain violent
Damn, there goes another body, oh shit, sirens
Another bite the dust like Mickey Thompson tires
Lights flashin', niggas stunned, like the Grammys
No one's exempt, they'll sell a rock to your granny
Now here's the part that jealousy come here out to play
Hood politics official when they want you out of the way
Now back then, we ain't never mention this word
'Cause if you got caught snitchin', consequences fasho
Niggas'll throw you out on the freeway with a shell in your dome
And no feelings is shown
And look inside the eyes of these killers
A blank stare that's stiffer than stones
Got you wonderin', where in life, where they went wrong
Don't wanna cross these types, if you do think twice
It's life savin', don't get caught slippin' when you ice skatin'
When you stand still you could witness it all
Picture the vision from the fly on the wall
(Wish I could fly over with you 'cause I'm seein it all)
(If I was blind then I wouldn't care at all, but I see)
When you stand still you could witness it all
(Only God can see what I see)
Picture the vision from the fly on the wall
(And how you washin' over me)
(Wish I could fly over with you to the other side)
('Cause I cry at night and I cover my eyes when I see)
Now when the sun rise, this young man see money's a big deal
New Chevelle, wipin' the mornin' dew 'cross his windshield
Killer's saturation while the smokers run through sanitation
For the bags of cans, this young man calculatin'
For the long run, since young homies been on one lately
No one's safe, he keeping his chrome off safety
Headed to the function, momma's gone, they children out cussin'
See, this young man hit this bitch for all them niggas she fuckin'
Knowin' one man's been itchin' to touch him
'Til the big homie found out, gave his ass a concussion
He don't want nothin' now, he walkin' on crutches now
Couldn't see him from the shoulders
He thinkin' how can he buck him down
Hold up, the odds is watchin'
Gotta be more smart now, devise his option
Watch how the plot thickens
The clock tickin', his weak spot is a thot
Just notice he can't stop trickin', got 'em
Now this how it starts
He take a bad one he know to go play with his heart
Had his nose wide open while gettin' head at the park
She send the GPS location like "this where we parked"
Now you know what's next
It's crazy how life can end all through a text
Got us wishin' we was all born with a vest
I know you prolly witnessed it all
But picture the vision from the fly on the wall
When you stand still you could witness it all
Picture the vision from the fly on the wall
(Wish I could fly over with you 'cause I'm seein it all)
(If I was blind then I wouldn't care at all, but I see)
When you stand still you could witness it all
(Only God can see what I see)
Picture the vision from the fly on the wall
(And how you washin' over me)
(Wish I could fly over with you to the other side)
('Cause I cry at night and I cover my eyes when I see)
Yo, Jay Rock, what up, though? I'm here with you
Let's give 'em a classic, you know I'm here to prepare it with you
Keep niggas inspired, you know I'm comin' to share it with you
And when the wheels fall off I'll get out and put on a spare with you
Let me be real with you (mhm)
It's been selected, let me give you my fly on the wall perspective
Sometimes niggas don't listen, I'm hopin' this serves its purpose
'Cause that's some of the realest shit
That you talked about in them verses
Hopin' they feel this shit despite how the devils is workin'
To avoid tellin' on myself, I try to speak in third person, Rock
See, we done been through some shit, through our lifeline
We was flies on the wall, too, from the shit we seen in our lifetime
And through these songs, and with discretion
Some stories we share through music question if we in our right mind
Now I'm the new fuckin' fly on the wall
I wanna see how many rappers really write rhymes
But we've been rockin' for a long time, Jay Rock
They ain't got a clue of the timing
I heard about you from Slay when you started shinin'
They ain't knowin' this our fourth collab from 2009, and
Slay heard about you from my nigga Wack
But they ain't know when Top Dawg introduced you, nigga (facts, homie)
The way we out, they'll always give you crack
Not knowin' that we had the raw just to split you niggas
To tell the truth, there's no problem we can't solve (uh-huh)
So let me tell the truth again, I'm so proud of how you evolved
And while me and Jay Rock kill these niggas 'til they dissolve
I hope you appreciate my view as the biggest fly on the wall
