Take Flight - Freedom Writers, SHAD

me and t back at it

leavin mics broke

playin thru the feedback static

write dope for the weed rap addicts

like smoke girls breath bad —

make they whole team asthmatic

(*gasp* i cant breathe!)

when they see shad — gaspin

dashin, too fly

i swear i should wear a ski mask rappin for em

front row at my knee caps grabbin

ungh — now u got me back braggin

like we need that swag

ok — i dont really like to

t’s in the aisle seat

tryna get a sprite from the flight crew

meanwhile im workin on my night snooze

red-eye, my dudes steppin in flights like some nike shoes

on a different runway: red-dye nice suit

cuz t got them neck-tie tight loops

it’s indecent how i adress

for the spring season

so fresh go get it on your itunes

and thats how we take flight

the glory days

who wouldve thought forming at laurier

would correlate to tourin in 6 countries

and 40 states

early mornings on board after performin late

in a foreign place

im still feelin the warm embrace

still got more to say

still clever with rhymes

never declinin

still gettin better with time — i would say like wine

but i never been whinin

like nevermind the weather, im shinnin

with the divine when we get in alignment

check the devilish smile

irreverent reverend, rebellious- minded

saint in the flesh

thats a blessing disguised

i can get it whenever, forever as diamonds

thats coal under-pressure, been a treasure to find

this flow, this soul, this heaven inside

this poet’s goal is gettin ya high

im fly as seven wings

on another level than sky

and thats… thats how we take flight
