Vocals: Natural Fact | |
Got my bags packed, and I'm on the train | |
In pursuit of my dreams, leavin' behind the inhumane | |
At a place where I'm no longer scared of change | |
And a whole hearted effort I intend to bring | |
And I can't peer back through the rear view | |
Although I know I'll be missing my peer group | |
‘Cause where you go stays with you forever | |
And I wish 'em all success in all their endeavors | |
And though miles separate us, the connection’s un-severed | |
And I'll make it up to y’all for now I'm tryin' to do better | |
Those who say I turned my back, I'm-a say whatever | |
Unpopular to pursue your heart over chedda' | |
But I've never been a follower, empty rhetoric swallower | |
Pointer of revolvers or progress staller | |
I'm a yes, yes yalla'; tryin' to stand taller | |
As the world gets colder and life gets harder | |
When I touch down | |
Gotta have my feet movin' when I hit the ground | |
Let the past be the past find a new crowd | |
Try a new path it's a new sound | |
When I touch down | |
When I touch down | |
Gotta let myself shine no matter who’s around | |
I'm-a get straight to work can't fool around | |
And only then will I know who's down | |
When I touch down | |
Sometimes the hardest thing is sayin' bye | |
Or fightin' that impulse to return when the pressure gets high | |
Needin' that glimmer of hope during cloudy skies | |
Or questioning my impulse when the account is dry | |
I'd lie if I said I don't second guess | |
But they say to spread your wing you've got to leave the nest | |
Needless to say, I left the bay to be the best | |
And if I remain unnoticed there'll still be no regrets | |
Steer clear of the pessimist, | |
I'm-a bust my ass off to make it look effortless | |
And when it gets to much I make a call for two bucks, | |
I'm in town lets do lunch, catch me up on the "who, what" | |
Critique my new stuff, pure heat or poot butt | |
Never lost the love but now that I'm gone there's renewed lust | |
And no matter what our history will always be a part of us | |
When I touch down | |
When I touch down | |
Gotta have my feet movin' when I hit the ground | |
Let the past be the past find a new crowd | |
Try a new path it's a new sound | |
When I touch down | |
When I touch down | |
Gotta let myself shine no matter who’s around | |
I'm-a get straight to work can't fool around | |
And only then will I know who's down | |
When I touch down |
