A Chartered Flight

Reminiscing on the past and how much trouble I've been

In boarding school trying not to trouble my kin

Never caught with contraband we were smuggling in

Inside the corn flakes box was a bottle of gin

The usual suspects? That could never be us

The quiet kids who studied hard? Man who better to trust?

Just to be Kaiser Soze as I walked out

Slick with it, bank on it like a Rothschild

Then in college it was happy hour at the bar

Beer and wings tasted like champagne and caviar

Talking bout fitting subwoofers in a rally car

Chilling with photographers 'cause they knew where the baddies are

We were growing older and the world was moving on

Witnessing the fall of heroes that we grew up on

I was told the lower tier that's where you belong

So I went and got a masters just to prove em wrong

Echoes of the sights that we've seen

On a chartered flight to our dreams

The present isn't quite what it seems

So we're on a chartered flight to our dreams

Hoping we see Christ intervene

To get you on a chartered flight to your dreams

The future's looking bright where we lean

On a chartered flight to our dreams

The greater the doubt then the harder I flex

Talk enough smack I might just charter a jet

My crew of misfits became a squad of execs

Hard truths came to light with the spark in effect

Real talk bro, you attract moths when you're glowing

Not everyone can handle all the love that you show them

Everybody can't go, I know the quote is a cold one

But some people hang themselves with the rope that you throw them

Can't let you in my kitchen if you leave a mess

Got to keep a small circle trying to be the best

So they'll be some former friends I'll be seeing less

CBD infused seltzer to relieve the stress

To receive a gift, is it worth the penalties?

You were sick with jealousy when you heard the melodies

You tried to clip their wings so this bird will never leave

The cure that y'all prescribing is worse than the disease

I'm sorry

Echoes of the sights that we've seen

On a chartered flight to our dreams

The present isn't quite what it seems

So we're on a chartered flight to our dreams

Hoping we see Christ intervene

To get you on a chartered flight to your dreams

The future's looking bright where we lean

On a chartered flight to our dreams

Breaking my fast with Greek yogurt and berries

Taking care of the body that is so necessary

In true Catholic fashion I'm devoted to Mary

The family crest a reminder of the load that we carry

From sitting in favelas to Ferrari Berlinettas

Marino wool sweaters just to compliment the weather

On a Gulfstream snacking on some continental cheddar

Breaking cycles of poverty, on God we must be better

The truth is found in action, that's how I bet on my passion

Knowing we're going to cash in but silent as an assassin

Prayers up for the haters, 'cause truly I can't imagine

What it's like to hope in vein that a brother won't make it happen

Make it happen for family that's the race that we run

Praying for better days as we say our grace over lunch

Make the paper stack and stay as chaste as a nun

You finally made it happen and now they hate on your son

It's crazy

Echoes of the sights that we've seen

On a chartered flight to our dreams

The present isn't quite what it seems

So we're on a chartered flight to our dreams

Hoping we see Christ intervene

To get you on a chartered flight to your dreams

The future's looking bright where we lean

On a chartered flight to our dreams
