[Verse 1 - Streamlyne]
23 years on this earth, it's time to take flight
Shake the stage-fright, embrace the daylight
Now that all of my wrongs have been made right
What I want for my life is right there in plain sight
Slowly i'll rise, from a cursed life in denial
I've opened my eyes for the first time in a while
I know that i'll find what I need eventually
But I believe that only I can set me free
So I, do my thing like "let me be"
Tryin' to make it in this world with my MP3's
I wanna make it outta here, escape without a fear
Make this our year, but I guess we'll see
All these words of advice in the search for what's right
But I just wanna sit around with my words and this mic
I've got this, urge to take flight, and damn it i'm off
Let's see what I can make with the plans that i've got


[Chorus - Josh Cory]
I can't be who you want me to be
I won't do what you want me to do
Spread my wings, and Fly Away
And if it all comes crashing down
I'll pick myself up, off the ground
Spread my winds, and Fly Away


[Verse 2 - Streamlyne]
But rest assured i'll be crashing again
And when that happens i'll be happy with a pad and a pen
Rappin' has been a sort of haven in a sense
That allows me to speak of the taken innocence
See when I hit the bottom, my love for music's alive
The truest of highs that'll let me make it through and survive
I have no problem facing the world with my amazing little girl
And that feeling when I look into her beautiful eyes
There's no, losing my sight, If you define perfection
It's this, my daughter, real love, and my best friend
I can't describe just what being a father's like
She got me through the harder times when love just seemed so out of sight
See the best thing that i've found in life
Are the people hangin' 'round when you're down and without a guide
Some people are just playing their part
So this is what you do when they say that you can't, you tell 'em


[Chorus]


[Verse 3 - Streamlyne]
And as I stand above this city, I think back
To the scars and dark places that i've been at
I've been flat on my face but I always spring back
To spit facts when I rip tracks with this clap
Soul beats with a damn tight rhythm
Hand tight grippin' wishin' that the fans might listen
I stand by my mission to expand my vision
You god damn right this is how I planned life livin'
It's mind over matter so it's all smiles again
I took my mind off what don't matter and took time to mend
I really feel for the children who want life to end
Live the good life you'll find it's all good times my friend
This is my life and i'll live it 'til the day I die
Day or night lyrics being written and I take my time
The way that I, live can't be envisioned by the naked eye
Maybe try, thinkin' living shit is just a state of mind
