_ _ [Db] _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ Light as a feather when I'm [Ab] floating through, reading through the daily news, [Db] measuring the hurt within the golden rule.
Centimeters of ether, I'm [Ab] heating the speaker, motivational [Bbm] teacher with words that burn people.
Singing the [Eb] headlines, [Ab] flying with discord, it's either [Bbm] genocide or the planet in uproar.
Never good, [Ab] the rules of paradise are never nice, the best laid [Bbm] plans are mice and men, I never write.
I'm just a [Ab] vagabond with flowers, vouching on an average Joe [Bbm] who knows what the fuck is going on.
It's the [Ab] hope of my thoughts that I travel apart, fly like an [Bbm] arrow of God until I'm gone.
So drifting [Ab] away like a feather in air, letting my [Eb] words take me [Bbm] away from the hurt and despair.
So I'm keeping it [F] vertical [Ab] forever, elevator, riding the [Bbm] escalator to a something that is greater.
So I'm drifting away like a [Ab] feather in air, letting my [Eb] soul take me away from the hurt and despair.
[Db] So I'm keeping it vertical forever, [Ab] elevator riding the [Bbm] escalator to a something that is greater.
Taking chances, [Ab] world champ, dancing with wolves
In a ice arena [Bbm] out there, deep in the woods of Arizona
The [F] sun be out, [Ab] fights around again and trying to beat [Bbm] Ali
When I write Surreal like my painting vivid
[Ab] I've been tapped, crazy, insane
Watch the propaganda, [Bbm] 6 o'clock, news that insane
Coaches clash, [F] all black folk in white [Ab] draft
Then rebel and [Bbm] disciples, bases of mine crash
Past, to millennia, but [Ab] million miles in front it
At a speed of [Bbm] now, but I don't return gunning
Rambo style, gun [Ab] hold, child gunning
Air war [Gb] blap, two times lap, stunning
When the [Ab] Hitch up, lift you off the earth like
Hey yo, [Bbm] take you right back to earth and
Niggas [Ab] wonder why, they might wonder why
This shit might [Bbm] happen, but it does, it go
Drifting away like a feather in [Ab] air
Letting my [Gb] words take me away from the hurt in this bed
So [Db] I'm keeping it vertical forever, [Fm] elevator
Riding an [Bbm] escalator to the summer, man it's getting so hot
Drifting [Eb] away like a feather in [Ab] air
Letting my soul take me [Bbm] away from the hurt in this bed
So I'm keeping it vertical forever, [Fm] elevator
Riding an [Bbm] escalator to the summer, man it's getting so hot
Treat you better than [Ab] me, cause that's the heavenly key
To unlock the inner [Bbm] strength, where my essence will be
It's the knowledge and self understanding, the [Ab] things around me
That [Bbm] becomes the wisdom that I need
Living this life [Ab] to the best of my ability
Channeling energy to my [Bbm] thoughts and deep symmetry
Remember me, because my prose will [Eb] make gold
I got to give the [Bbm] gab like them pimps in capes
Goes and never ends, [Ebm] I keep it rolling like [Ab] a cypher
The first cape, [Bbm] man, bringing fire, it, faking it higher
To blast mistakes, I raise [Ab] the stakes
It's double [Bbm] or nothing in this vacuum space
I will survive the [Ab] vines of time to cry
But I hold [Bbm] the hide, I'm alive for pride
And I drove [F] the Chevy to the levee, but [Ab] the levee was dry
Singing [Bbm] this will be the day that I die _ _ _ _ _ _
