First In Flight (feat. Gil Scott-Heron)

('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) Free, like a bird out in the wind in the night Like a 747 to L.A. that's in flight Free, like a garden flourishin' in the wind Like a student bout to do it when he's graduatin' Free, from any of the energy perception Can never be defined create the definition within Free, just lovin' life itself and never pretend to be Anything other than the man I was meant to be Travel through time and get a glimpse of the centuries To come a better day is promised remember Free, like my nephew in a few months About to be out the penitentiary Meditation, meditation, meditation Meditation, meditation, meditation Meditation, meditation, meditation ('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) ('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) Uh, I never hesitate about a reluctant mind Just put the peddle to the metal see what ya find You back there slouchin' over won't you pick up your spine? Let's make it really really happen live up this time 'Cause you can choose to say, "Good mornin' God" or "Good God, mornin'" with black clouds storming I walk without umbrellas into these woods Don't need 'em 'cause the mighty trees will shelter me good I'm eatin' berries from the bushes of the Heavenly good From the stakes the power came to us whenever we stood Reverberatin' out we're reachin' each and every hood Whenever we could the spiritual anatomy fool But never take the credit for it because that'd be rude It's just the way in life we searchin' for that had to be new You gotta work it though 'cause everyday ain't Saturday fool Evolve into a better life and be happy with you, you and me ('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) ('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) The first to fly The first to strive The first to fight to stay alive The first to win The first to strike The first to live The first in flight Rise, like the sun up at the crack of the dawn Like a wakin' child in the mornin' stretchin' and yawnin' Rise like an infant bein' held in the light Like the smoke from an incense when it's ignited Rise if you're sleepin' won't you open your eyes again The greatest high be that natural high within No need to force the progression just ride the wind You'll know the answer to the where and why and when If you keep workin' for your search you will find the end Though at the end you find it only begins again See at the end you'll see it only begins again And everything you learn you're only rememberin' 'cause you're ('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) ('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) ('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) ('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin') (We go beyond the edge of the sky) It's me, let your mind and your soul be free Work to shine meet your goal believe Spread that kind of L O V E Take some time off the lonely Let your mind and your soul be free Work to shine meet your goal believe Spread that kind of L O V E Take some time off the lonely 'Cause all we got is rhythm and timin' We go beyond the edge of the sky 'Cause all we got is rhythm and timin' We go beyond the edge of the sky 'Cause all we got is rhythm and timin' We go beyond the edge of the sky 'Cause all we got is rhythm and timin' We go beyond the edge of the sky
