36,000 Feet

I'm 36000 feet up while I stroke with the pen And still The Basement the highest place I've ever been On a flight back to the states cause I just left the homeland Naija got my heart, cause that's where all my folks at My soul always takes a leap forward, when I go back Inspired by my roots my mind wanders like a nomad Thinking change starts, when you give the shirt off of yo back And in the mud's exactly where you need to plant a rose at My stomach been turning but I never need a Prozac It just means I'm hungrier than ever I never was impressed by the chains and the bezels And I'll still feel the same even when I have several The women getting severed, that means that imma cut then they get cut If you never saved a sliced for me you'll never get a cut Didn't help out with my basement so you can't see my penthouse Now we moving up so they down to stay like the rent down Women want my love, but their calls are rarely answered I might call her baby, but she never getting pampered I look at most the women that I dated and I'm baffled Cause none of them touch even then floor of all my standards My wifey gon be one in a million, that Aaliyah vibe Moving urgent, but I know to wait like it's BMI And we doing numbers every season like it's CSI And the life we living leads to what hells and TMIs I see the light anytime I talk to my Dad I'm intimidated by the weight he has on his back There's so many that's dependent on him solely for provisions I wonder if I'd do the same if placed in his position He told me that the least we can do is be a symbol Of hope by giving back, and be a blessing to the children To have more means, that you need less And I'll be richer if I see the poor and reinvest I got some policies and boundaries, to reassess I need to focus on my family and reconnect I gotta see more than me just to reach my best I gotta stop chasing birds, and just to feed the nest I gotta keep chasing goals, and I'll hit the net I gotta stick to my wits, while they stick to bets I know God gon protect, when they hit the vest I know my shadow is my mother's silhouette 36,000 feet up, still this height ain't the highest In the basement, I look down and see the sky My star are realigned, the timing is divine Your songs got me gripping my stomach, like the heimlich Laughable, what you put to tape ain't really shifting capital Cause you got cap on lock, it's irrational Key is to escape all the phonies, that just tag along Niggas don't run empires, but they Babylon Talking like they king but they barely made jester Full of themselves so they empty with they gestures Claim they knew I'd blow, when they were always narcoleptic I'm now, so we take offense, when people say we next up Renown on the web, on Tik Tok applying pressure What they write on wax, got me bored like a lecture How many times, we gon spin the block on every record There's more that the kids need to hear, and imma tell it Like Salt in the Dead Sea I could they should never settle Focused on my drive then it clicked like a windows PC setup You never get the gold When you in other niggas biz, is the only time you meddle I just checked my bezel, and it's telling me it's high time Give them all the bars, I connect to them like WI-FI I reach they souls, and it made me millions Came from The Basement but we never really saw ceilings
