Fly Away - August Greene, Common, Robert Glasper

The rains are falling,

I had a run, some close calls

I lost and played the game, I lost and played the game

Been lost for many days, feel like I’m stuck in place

Let me fly, let me fly

This is the story of the king and I

Or yet a black bird who always had a dream to fly

It’s like everyday will prey on this bird so he keep it knee to sky

And weed to high, thinking he defy the gravity of love

Killing him softly, the tragedy of love

There had to be a dove that was out there for him

He be madly in love and then go to boredom

His own issues, he would ignore 'em

And pour 'em into work and being so called free

Now imagine this bird being me

I always thought, «I'm the one to fly free»

Played the game and handled it like Kyrie

Looking past my exes like I’m YZ

Not thinking, «Why me?»

'cause she cry me a river

I’m thinking bigger, looking for the perfect picture

Takes much practice, I was in love with an actress, a singer, and a tennis

player

Star Wars of love, every princess had a Leia

'Don't commit' city, you could say I was the mayor

Am I built for relationships and marriages?

Questions I had for my aunt and a therapist

Checking in and out of Heartbreak Hotel, man

Bag lady, I’m the bellman

The rains are falling,

I had a run, some close calls

I lost and played the game, I lost and played the game

Been lost for many days, feel like I’m stuck in place

Let me fly, let me fly
