Lyrics

(Intro) Theotis Taylor
Every since I knew Christ
There's been something in my life
Make me feel like flying away to be at rest….

(Refrain) LM
Maggot Food
And Sky Flown
Devils..
Lost Mine (Mind)
Mane these boys clever
Recognize
That I died for Heaven
Left time
To float around with Brethren…

(Verse) Teco
I feel like I’m channeling spirits of every man in my family making it happen
The will of many in this tiny vessel escaping the chains with rapping
Life hits you fast with instant disasters, You gotta be ready for that
Sometimes stuff coming back to back so quick it won’t even let me adapt
I go through the motions, living my life on the fly
Sometimes it feel death is the truth and everything else is a lie
The flowers we see are just a disguise wrapped in deception
The pain of the innocent covers the laughter of reverends
Preaching a blasphemous heaven, keeping the balance of master & peasant
I see through the blindfold, cause it’s not a blindfold
We just conditioned to voluntarily keep our eyes closed
They want be doped up in a straitjacket with my mind gone
Can’t control who the sun shine on
Still dropping gems no rhinestones
I’m a treasure chest sent to bless the globe
hip hop my least interesting goal
We all gone float in the end so why not be a light and touch some souls?
At least that’s the plan, what’s the point in increasing my bands?
He who loves the world shall burn in it, that’s too much heat to withstand

(Hook) LM
Rain down
Water bound
Levees
Cracked Seams
Full Flight
Together
Lost Stars
False Start
To Heaven
We all going
We all flying
Forever

(Verse) L.M.
It’s funny how none of the white boys that kill us commit suicide
They paint pictures, have photoshoots and auction off while they funds rise
Being black made me feel like
Aint nothing else on the other side
So, I star gazed and counted numbers
Till I felt sum in my insides
And road around
Seeing death, looking left at every stop sign
And nighttime and gas pump
And clothing lumps and burnt tires
These here is dark times
Weighed down by these soul ties
Unrequited in my many love lives
Pulling hope from my life guides
Weeping done endured like many nights
They killing niggas here out in day light
So, where we gone run when the time right
Well, you gotta shed blood for the limelight
I done gave so much that my head light
And my feet drag but my Js nice
Nostalgia hurts but these fans like
Our body pulled and our belly knifed
Burnt asunder and our head piked
Every loss is a new life
And a closer link to the other side
I saw my granny in a cardinal flight
And a strong wind and in the moonlight
And a tide pull and a gesundheit
And a whispered voice saying don’t hide…
We all gotta die like a few times

(Hook) LM
Rain down
Water bound
Levees
Cracked Seams
Full Flight
Together
Lost Stars
False Start
To Heaven
We all going
We all flying
Forever

(Verse) Idi
Idi back picking my particles up
Ghost and the goons they not startling us
We seen a lot nigga, who gonna buss
Truth in my lyrics but come from the bluff
Tell me is it I’m not gangsta enough
Mama said I am not patient enough
Feel like a flagrant life hit me to rough
In love with the music but living in lust
Knock off the dust, Ima be fine
Better with time, aging like wine
Ma had that Kia I thought I would shine
Till I lost my spirit and my will to rhyme
But I got it back so it’s done for you guys
Hero or villain see everyone dies
Sky or the ceiling not everyone tries
You hear it my spirit this boy gonna rise
Been hurting for certain not closing the curtain
I really hope I am not being a burden
I working on being a way better person
I’m peaceful when speaking so why are you cursing
New day, a new episode, how you rehearsing
Don’t have time to fake, it the feeling just worsen
Hiding your feelings with sex drugs and burkens
What you gonna do when that stuff isn’t working
Numb and you dumb cause you constantly percin
I dance with the devil, she flirting and twerking
To sell a bit then you must hit that's for certain
Can’t go into labor if you never working
Promise I’m working real hard to be celibate
But I’m gone fuck the world just for the hell of it
Praying my music and ideas all sell a bit
So when you see my grandkids you can tell em this

(Outro) LM
Maggot Food
And Sky Flown
Devils..
Lost Mine (Mind)
Mane these boys clever
Recognize
That I died for Heaven
Left time
To float around with Brethren…
