Lifting Off Lyrics - Revolutions Per Minute - Talib Kweli

Lifting off 

Lifting off 

Lifting off, never been so high 

I get on my plane and see planes go by 

High enough to see the angels fly 

Now that we back in the game, these lames gon' die 

Lifting off, like the Mars rover or the weight on your shoulder 

That held you down with the weight of a boulder 

Whether a drug dealer baking the soda or a revolutionary soldier 

We here for you yo, the waiting is over, cause we 

Lifting off, off the ground, take you up in the clouds 

Floating on the notes and tones 

Until the condensation drip from my brow, we'll disappear in the crowd 

Till I'm surrounded with sounds, count it down and we

Lifting off, five on it, used to the split the cost 

Roll it up, take a hit and cough, relax 

Keep reefer like a fifth of ros' 

We make 'em dance like Kalashnikov, take 'em higher, we 

Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up 

It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up 

Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up 

'Cause they like the rush, when they 

Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up 

It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up 

Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up 

'Cause they like the rush, when they 

Lifting off, I've never been so low 

When I smoke, I don't wanna be dependent on the dro 

For the happiness 'cause happiness should come from your soul 

I sold myself, like at least you don't fuck with the blow

Lifting off, I tried to buy LSD 

But a dred refused to sell it to me 

He was like, well yeah, I got it, but that's a white man drug 

Not for us, I said aight man, love, still I be 

Lifting off, in the limelight, indication dazed 

Shrooms had my mouth dry looking for the Gatorade 

On a date with the high made me fade away 

I left shorty at the table with a razor blade 

Lifting off but see I'm getting off track 

No tracks in my arms, I never fucked with the smack 

Or the crack, only vice was the trees and the 'gnac 

Until my man Jimmy got me onto Jack, throw it back and I'm 

Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up 

It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up 

Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up 

'Cause they like the rush, when they 

Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up 

It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up 

Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up 

'Cause they like the rush, when they 

Lifting off, it's such a passionate high 

No sense in passing it by 

I'm like Inspectah Deck, the clouds are so far relaxed in the sky 

Coming down, looking back in the Stuy', ain't no problem they 

Lifting off on the daily behind the restoration plaza 

Where they got a production of Alvin Ailey 

At the theater named after Billy, she struggled with it too 

If she was here right now she'd probably hit it too 

Lifting off but still there's no excuse 

Spread the myth that if I don't get high then I don't produce 

These people acting like they want the truth 

But the appearance of the truth is good enough 

They don't want the proof 

Huh, they get to too confused 

They looking too confused, the pigeon flew the coop 

I stay out the bubble but they keep me in the loop 

Soon as I'm in the house it's through the roof and we 

Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up 

It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up 

Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up 

'Cause they like the rush, when they 

Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up 

It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up 

Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up 

'Cause they like the rush, when they 

Lifting off, light it up, take a blade, divide it up 

It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up 

Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up 

'Cause they like the rush, when they 

Lifting off light it up, take a blade, divide it up 

It's not enough, grab your arms and tie 'em up 

Go further, hit the pipe and fire it up 

'Cause they like the rush, when they lifting off 

Lifting off
