Propaganda - They Said There'd Be Jetpacks lyrics

[JGivens: Intro] HB, west coast what up Yo [Verse 1: JGivens] Quieters kept the rioter's neck Kamikaze street fighter jet Jackson's famous for trying to fly with the best But in the west west [Propaganda] We dodged bullets from Damus and boys in blue, that's all we knew Officer, boy I hold no weapons Except the two attached to my wrist and the one in my chest I said officer, I conceal no guns Unless you count the one that sits in between my lungs [JGivens] One time's gunning One time I hit the terminal running With no baggage My heart black tarmac-ing Try'na be super fly [Propaganda] Fly? But that gunplay's nothing but a runway To seek truth the dumb way Some say learn from your mistakes, but it takes No genius to see jumping off the deep leads to bone breaks Take a break to pump yours That's fly [JGivens] My ex asked why Told her Jesus wept when I left, that's right Really thought I was gon' marry you Terrible mistake in my backpack Full of books for a parachute Vanity, parasail the truth [Propaganda] And we was itching to leave, success was anywhere but home But the fabric of this city, it stayed stitched in our chromosomes Tried to leave twice, but God kept cancelling the flight The concept's hard for me the bite, this right here is your life And life is good, fight is good, flight is good A trendsetter, a jet setter, will make your hood better But better get your etiquette together Whatever you decide Just make it fly [Hook: JGivens] (x2) That's right One time I take you too high Too high, to high for my mind But if tomorrow comes calling imma be all right Be all right That's fly [Verse 2: JGivens] Give me a minute, I've been waiting to say this I've been waiting to speak on this since the beginning Like since the creation I remember when they told the big homie he's too creative And now I feel like they only choose you if they view you famous Hey don't be foolish, too Gotta check our perspective of what true fame is Cause true fame is only true for only one dude You can't attain it Misjudging like Judy Foolishly scribbling on the paper The images duplicated from a creator that's greater This is the inspiration of David How you figure we made it? [Propaganda] And remain not jaded or cynical, I've read That the face of a coward is the back of his head By the skin of my jeans, I've been able to keep my nose clean And build up a team that elevates humility That's fly [JGivens] Humility that's right Return of the Nazarene, churn like the battery Through the cracked sky Whip fails, Chemtrails, trash can raps And follow f-follow f-follow backs Try'na out scale tomorrow's past, vanity Now that's why We don't have to view ourselves to be so high [Hook: JGivens] (x2) That's right One time I take you too high Too high, to high for my mind But if tomorrow comes calling imma be all right Be all right That's fly [Outro] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard flight 1213 AB Lip service to, it doesn't matter This is your favorite captain's favorite captain speaking We'd like to thank you for flying with us this evening Hopeless and I wish I'd come home you We are currently cruising at an altitude of 30, 000 light millennia Above the Mediterranean at 717 miles per hour Please take this time to review the safety card Handcrafted by the bad kids in the back of your seat back pocket The time is currently 10 2 the hour About time I pay attention to the in flight cabin crew Who will be checking the decorum, sum of all the time Flight attendant's cabin crew, please be seated Ladies and gentlemen, we have turned on the fasten seat belt sign Due to a slight violence of the wind that we're flying in [?] So apparently we have turned off the fasten seat belt sign Super Lowkey And you may now move around the cabin lower Manhattan Look out below, to the left You can see the beast underneath the surface searching for food If a water evacuation ensues Your seat cushion cab be used as a flotation device, parachute Jetpack Your seat cushion can be used as a jetpack? As a jet - as a jetpack? That's right, your seat cushion can be used as a jet pack! They said seat cushions gonna be used as jetpacks! They said that there'd be jetpacks! Ah! [JGivens] Oh, we gonna keep that! Cause you never know
