(Verse 1: Eddie Meeks) Knockin' days down, yeah it's gettin' so close And I'm hoping this travels from coast to coast Way back then I didn't know where to start But inspiration hit me and I think I hit the mark Not something special, no it ain't that much Just written from the heart about life and such A dream of mine that started small but grew I didn't know that I could write songs man but who knew? A couple months ago I took this as a joke Until it hit me all at once, sorta like a stroke People takin' it serious and kept askin' about it I didn't believe in it, until I really thought about it Started out with nothin' but some inspiration Found myself and wrote a couple tracks on vacation How couldn't I do this? When this is what I love? Man whatever the turn out, the glory goes above There were people who supported me And those that couldn't let me be Thank you to those who believed in me when I couldn't And thank you to those who said I shouldn't (Chorus: Eddie Meeks & Matthew Weber 2) Man I kept on doubting myself I didn't think I could do it But I kept on pushin' through it Man them late nights finally paid off Now I'm droppin' Take Off Take Off (Verse 2: Eddie Meeks) I didn't make this to impress you I made it to impact those who Have been goin' through some tough times We go through 'em, yeah man and so do I If you hear people talkin' 'bout me Who else to see if it's true then besides me? You know who you are, talkin' crap behind my back But word gets around, so you think I didn't hear that? If you weren't here for my second, third, or forth down Don't expect to show up when I score a touch down Maybe you're right and I shouldn't have made this But maybe you're wrong and by then I'll have made it So keep on hatin' and I'll keep on workin' But by now I think I'm finally certain If you don't have haters, then something ain't right Cause I've got big dreams and I ain't losin' sight Your doubts don't bother me, they make me wanna do this more Keep on laughin' cause you're not the one I'm workin' for Doubting me is the best thing that you could do I'm buildin' my dreams yeah, how 'bout you? (Chorus: Eddie Meeks & Matthew Weber 2) (Verse 3: Eddie) In this, there's gonna be some real things, like some feelings That I've felt and I had to deal things But don't worry just so you know, depending how this goes I might drop one more Cause you know I'm 'bout to get it When I get it, get the feeling' What's the dealin' , deal me in Take Off goin' space bound, with some great sound And when you're feelin' down, it'll raise your head hangin' from the ground But I can't slow it down, no I gotta pick it up Cause you're mouth just dropped, no I can't be stopped Cause I'm loaded and locked, money, s**, d**, and Glocks It's the same things heard on the radio, don't think so? Turn on the stereo, now you feel me oh, what's it gonna be oh? I'm 'bout to go, don't you know? In God We Trust, or we chasin' money and lust? Same ole thing, man there's gotta be change But will some one raise the steaks, if this works aye that'll be great Name another Junior droppin' a mixtape, oh wait I screwed up, do another take (breath) Take two, Eddie this is all you The world's tellin' you what to do, but you gotta stay you Yeah you gotta stay true And some goin' hate But that's okay Let's take it back to what started it off Yeah, 3... 2... 1... Take Off (Chorus: Eddie Meeks & Matthew Weber 2)
