My youth passed by so quickly
Left all my dreams in the backseat
We used to dream with paper planes
Wrapped in a cape planning our escape
Scars on my skin learned from my mistakes
Tears in my eyes, wiped them from my face
The sun disappears 'till I hear my name
'Cause mama calling now I'm an hour late
The older I get, the harder I fall
My dreams were so big, even though I was small
I was told that I can't, but I'm still gonna try
Now I'm up in the clouds, with no wings I'ma fly
Oh fly away, ay ay
Fly away, ay ay
Fly away, ay ay
Fly away
Oh fly
Oh fly
Oh fly
Oh fly
Every single place I go people call me foreign
Laying low lately that don't mean I can't be soaring
Other side of the globe somewhere I ain't never been
I was searching everywhere forgot to look within
Now I understand the world is bigger than the block, yeah
Used to play hot lava posted at the park, yeah
Now my akhi's carry lava cuz the block is hot, yeah
Where did all the years go
Can't change the past but our futures yet to unfold
Gotta keep myself driven never neutral
I been writing with a purpose so I speak it from my soul
Gotta do this for my youngins 'till the day I die
Even if I don't succeed I could say I tried
You see a smile 'cause the pain we just tryna hide
Just tryna show my people you don't need no wings to fly
The older I get, the harder I fall
My dreams were so big, even though I was small
I was told that I can't, but I'm still gonna try
Now I'm up in the clouds, with no wings I'ma fly
Oh fly away, ay ay
Fly away, ay ay
Fly away, ay ay
Fly away
Oh fly
Oh fly
Oh fly
Oh fly
Fly Away... (oh fly)
Oh fly
Oh fly
Oh fly
Fly... ay ay ay
Fly... ay ay ay
