Jeff "Gitty" Gitelman - Fly lyrics

[Produced by Raury, Jeff "Gitty" Gitelman, and Willie Linton] [Verse 1: Raury] I'm afraid I'll die And you can look at me and never wonder why Because I'm brown and young and my Hair it is nappy And if I spend a day outside Just doing normal things inside my hometown And be the wrong place, wrong time I could be dying And yes the holder of the gun It could be him or her, it could be black or white But when the deed is done it's done We have a k**er And in the rising of the sun Hope you remember me with positivity Cause there's a target on my back Time's only wasting [Hook: Raury] And yes I hope one day we'll fly Above the things that make humanity divide Oh yes I hope one day we'll fly I pray the kids I have see better days than mine Oh yes I hope one day we'll fly And for the ones that died, and for the ones that died I hope you fly I hope you fly I hope you fly I hope you fly [Verse 2: Raury] I'm not a nuisance to mankind And even if I was I don't deserve to die Because a man should k** no man On no condition So I won't ever understand How triggers pull against a man with empty hands Cause we can k** the innocent You are a k**er I hope a God is up above I hear his voice sometimes and I have seen some signs That yes the Devil walks this world Just look around you Or you can look into your phone Or check the news you trust or check the timeline Because we all have lost control Went down a spiral [Hook: Raury] [Outro: Malik Shakur] I hope my son dreams to be mountains I hope he dreams to change the surface of the Earth I hope he dreams past the stars and the nebula I hope he never falls for the traps I hope he knows his skin is gold I hope he knows the world is his for the taking I hope he never becomes a hashtag I hope to never see him on the back of a t-shirt I hope that no man in no uniform, a**umes he's reaching for something in his pocket I hope he knows it's okay to love I hope he's a daydreamer I hope he flys
