Flying High Lyrics

[Hook]
We flying high
Higher than the sky
Way over the bullshit yeah we on some new shit yeah
We flying high
Higher than the clouds
We stay above the drama and we ain't coming down yeah
We flying high
Higher than the sky
Way over the bullshit yeah we on some new shit yeah
Flying high
Higher than the clouds
We stay above the drama and we and comin down yeah

[Verse 1: Honors English]
Why am I so fly?
Here'a crash course
My photo should be the logo for the passports
And when they ask for my pictures rumors fly like twisters
But it don't matter I just walk on top of the whispers
Look at the women or the denim
Look at my eyes see the sky dives in em
And my girl so fly, me and her futuristic
They sick of me shining so I just eclipse shit
But darling, all them
Hate to see you soaring
Can't wait, they love to take pictures when you're falling

We all got problems, but when they start pouring
It have a brother feelin like a bucket in New Orleans
But when it gets heavyweight, all I do is levitate
Over all the drama like Bush when the levee's break

Damn to be honest, bad news is time flies
Good thing is you're the pilot, yeah
[Hook]

[Verse 3: Honors English]
We Flyin High
And beyond I'ont plauteu a keep goin
They'ont want me to peak like a Peeping Tom you see it
It's a natural reflex the b.s. I deflect I got it sewn
But I don't seem stressed (seamtress) peep it
This is for my little leaguers playing trying to get their majors on
So they be an umpire and they have a plate at home
Play it safe, naw, naw, life is like a song
Take the bullshit by the horns smooth it out like..uhhhh
I'm like a hawk with his middle fingers up
If you don't move it you lose it and your wings turn to dust
So I don't fuck around, I hover above the ground
I just tackle my goals and that's how I touch down
But I'm still upward bound, so the kids huddle round
This is soul medicine no side effects evident ...uhhhh
You gotta rise from living this low life
Time to stop being fraid of your own heights! Yeah!

[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
