Cairo Mayeson - Hope To Fly lyrics

INTRO: Brilliance is bare minimum, stranger I cross my heart, I hope to fly I cross my heart, I hope to fly VERSE 1: Dear hustle, you saved my life; I'm forever in debt to you Down to my last penny, I'll forever invest in you Chess moves, find openings and execute And tie up open ends if ya ex gets cute I just saw you the other day talking about a new n***a Introduced you to the life, way before you new n***as Now all these girls talking music like they knew Jigga Pre-Blueprint 2 Jigga, y'all just know the new Jigga They ask me, when will I wake up and get up out the scene I tell em this narcolepsy's got me getting out my dreams Shout out to all the college kids getting that degree In accounting, communications, y'all can have them occupations Am I wrong for wanting what I'm skipping cla** for? Am I wrong for wanting everything I ask for? For wanting to vacate to islands requiring pa**ports For wanting to vacate my family out of their last jobs CHORUS: I wish Aaliyah could sing this song for me I wish Pac could say this part for me I give you all of me I cross my heart I hope to fly I cross my heart I hope to fly I wish Aaliyah could sing this song for me I wish BIG could say this part for me I give you all of me I cross my heart I hope to fly I cross my heart I hope to fly VERSE 2: All I'm surrounded by is fears and limelights, bright Cried tears, except mine, blind ears and deaf eyes Cuz the world is too digital, too trendy, too political, too stingy, too predictable, too ignorant to admit it's true It's hard for n***as like me to get into you But I'm showing up at these places that's I've hinted to Now updating your new post, new clothes or a nude pose Yet I'm the n***a clicking and dragging it to a new folder Got a new flow and it's too cold, huh? A new quote that a few wrote, huh? A new coat and a new glow, ha So much flavor that you could taste it, all these lames out here are tasteless Ba** ackwards and basic Ass backwards has been her favorite While I'm gripping her where her waist is She mad the music's her replacement Told myself I got what it takes to... Move nations, move mountains, move acres...of hatred CHORUS: I wish Aaliyah could sing this song for me I wish Pac could say this part for me I give you all of me I cross my heart I hope to fly I cross my heart I hope to fly I wish Aaliyah could sing this song for me I wish Pimp could say this part for me I give you all of me I cross my heart I hope to fly I cross my heart I hope to fly VERSE 3: Come through to the place stunting and switch the mood My stature's special, the posture is what I hip em to Uplift the youth and unveil the truth from a different view Break the walls down and lift the roof, that's what I'm built to do Wish I could wish my true, prayers to proof Women throwing the fruit will bring out the player in you Player, it's proof, every gold glare's merit ain't true But I think we're as great as the greats they comparing us to CHORUS: I wish Aaliyah could sing this song for me I wish Pac could say this part for me I give you all of me I cross my heart I hope to fly I cross my heart I hope to fly I wish Aaliyah could sing this song for me I wish BIG could say this part for me I give you all of me I cross my heart I hope to fly I cross my heart I hope to fly
