Lyrics

Yeah On my young niggas, on my done nigga Yeah Woo! Yeah On my young one, on my done one One time! Woo! Ay, oh-ay, ay-ay-ah Ay, oh-ay, ay-ay-ah Ay, oh-ay, ay-ay-ah Ay, oh-ay, ay-ay-ah Ay, location device Ay, elevate your life Ay, we with ceiling lights Ay, sipping from the kite We in love with the rally But they had to have the clothes Tonight we unified society All my sisters and my bros Against the wind, they gon' shoot us Regardless which way it blows In the moon like we're Venus Kites like UFOs Nigga hold a door What you tryna' to close it for? Nigga hold a door There's room for some many more Wake up in the morning, don't know if you're gonna blah! When we do the [?] we make 60 til' it's done Everybody needs friends, okay If you got the lighter then you know you need to blah! If you want to shine way up! If you want to shine way up! Way, way, way up! If you want to bring the day up Kites on my radar, life in my palms We unite through the chaos (only for the purist) Tell them to obey ours My cerebellum threw a rebellion from AR's (room for the boom stick) The day I have a J.R., I tell him the worth of God only, And quit his day job (motherfuck the bullshit) Radio never play ours This revolution ain't televised with prayer, jumping over borders Ain't no ruler for restrictions, ain't no police to deport us Ain't no summers for our sons, ain't no dealings for our daughters Every prosecution hung, save the verdict for the lawyers Illuminate the corner, Celebrate humanity scream and back at me in the morning Every field in Mississippi, every street in California Know the devil was alive, it's the time to be anointed Truck into a stream, disconnected to a dream Head bussin', hittin' nothing, even if I gotta bleed Sittin' waiting patient for a universal pain Politicking was the nation, this is big as you and me huh? I let you fly my contacts, okay Tryna send us off on combat, no way Waking up the spirit it's on every human being If you with us, then you scream, so one day you can shout way out Me, I am way up Way, way, way up Hey, hey Bring the fucking crayon Hey, hey The girls in here are the humblest We drink out our plastic tumblers While you see us on Tumblrs We wanna get jobs as a baroness They don't wanna get down with foreigners Say "hey, you", you won't admire us Carriers the cross, they curious I wanna get high cause I'm curious I'm serious, I hope you are feeling us I'm paying all these with periods With mobiles are running delirious It's our dream, out of this radius I'm letting off kites over barriers I'm letting off kites over barriers I'm letting off kites over barriers I'm letting off kites over barriers I'm letting off kites over barriers They give us so many more Hey!
