Late For The Sky (feat. Slug)

[Hook]

Been here for too long

Said it's time to ride

Got to push it on

Cause I'm (1-2)

Been here for too long

Yes, it's time to fly

Got to get along

Cause I'm late for the sky

Been here for too long

Got to uh

Cause I'm late for the sky-y-y-y

[Verse 1: Slug]

I dream what these wings won't do

Cause counting sheep is easy as 1 2

Jumping out the nest to catch some bird food

Clutched so tense that the knuckles turned blue

I been hooped to wise men

Check horizons, read the flight plan

Spread the lifespan

Sky heights are set, it's time to climb these steps

We only tryna get free from the spider's web

Gotta murder all the messing around

Carry the burden of work, never setting it down

With a spotlight now, my shot, my chance

Put a plot of land in the pockets of my pants

(Break-break) break loose, raise roof when the kick drops

They flew, straight through, no pit stops

Lift off with your head in the clouds

Or get lost in the rest of the crowd

[Hook]

Been here for too long

Said it's time to ride

Got to push it on

Cause I'm (1-2)

Times have come and gone

Yes, it's time to ride

Early in the morn'

Late for the sky-y-y-y

Been here for too long

Said it's time to ride

Got to push it on

Cause I'm late for the sky

Times have come and gone

Yes, it's time to fly

Got to get along

Late for the sky-y-y-y

[Verse 2: Evidence]

Here's a quotable

Slash rap notable

Slash mike gone but janet still controlling you

I'm rarely candid, my view panoramic

My eyes wide shut, if not one, I'm holding two

I'm packing double, getting up too early

I'm actually trouble, kind of acting 7:30 (out of my mind)

Attracted to this earth, maybe acting kinda worldly

But running on my work that says "ev I better hurry"

I'd rather worry debt than being pushed through the line

Still a perfect record jet, never late when I fly

Moving hectic, testing patience of this time when I rhyme

Not an out to death trying, sayin' "late for the sky"

Late for my prime, but something that was shaped by design

I been running while the others burnt from racing the line

Making it great coincides with making it mine

Coincides with the hate that I'm making it signs

Let me start from the beginning, I'm rewinding the clock

Pitch my heart in every inning like I did with the knock

And it don't stop, a body in motion stays in motion

Coach seat between the wings of this boeing

[Verse 3: Aesop rock]

From a chickenwire frame and a house of wax

To a rocket exploding into a cloud of bats

I been it, dog meat in a '76 plymouth

Sitting bitch antenna divide 'em for live witches

We will be closing in 5 minutes

Have you buried a corpse, can you suture a wound?

Do you get a fuzzy feeling when the beautiful lose?

Like a behooving of a crew to snap buddha, enthuse greatly

Prove a definitive crucible of mood-making

Four wolves find me to speak as an eye-witness

We will be closing in 5 minutes, find spinach

Not a pleasantry but stirring only enemies of mercy

A plebeian centipede's unearthing something dirty

Same nature later snap on his shoes

Maybe they ratty cuz they actually a hat for his hoops

That anger every perp'll pivot to the city's nervous system

Til I make the following preferred decision, listen
