Nujabes - Feather lyrics

Light as a feather when I'm floating through Reading through the daily news Measuring the hurt within the golden rule Centimeters in ether I'm heatin' the speaker Motivational teacher with words that burn people Seeing the headlines lined with discord It's either genocide or the planet in uproar Never good, the rules of paradise are never nice The best laid plans of mice and men are never right I'm just a vagabond with flowers for Algernon An average joe who knows what the f** is goin' on It's the hope of my thoughts that I travel upon Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone so Driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Riding an escalator to a somethin' that is greater so I'm Driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my soul take me away from the hurt and despair So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Riding an escalator to a somethin' that is greater Taking chances word tap dancing with wolves In an ice arena out there deep in the woods of Arizona The sun be high life's ironic Ain't I tryin' to be Dali when I write Surreal life I paint it vivid Habitat, crazy, insane Watchin' propaganda six o' clock news that are sayin Cultures clash, poor black folk and white trash They rebel in the cyberspace that might crash, dash To millennium a million miles of runnin At the speed of now back,no return gunnin Rambo style gun-ho child gunning Ammo blaow two times loud stunnin, stunning When it hit ya, lift ya off the earth like Ayo take you right back to birth, and n***as wonder why They might wonder why this sh** might happen but it does, it goes Driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Riding the escalator to a somethin' that is greater so I'm Driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my soul take me away from the hurt and despair So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Riding the escalator to a somethin' that is greater Treat you, better than me 'cause that's the heavenly key To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be It's the knowledge of self, understanding of the things around me That becomes the wisdom that I need, Livin' this life to the best of my ability Channelin' energy to my thoughts attain symmetry Remember me, because my prose remain gold I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangols It never ends, I keep it rollin' like a cypher, The first cave man bringing fire, innovating it higher To blast mistakes I raise the stakes It's double or nothing in this vacuum of space I will, survive, divine, the time to cry f** a hold or hide I'm alive with pride And I drove the chevy to the levy but the levy was dry Singing "this will be the day that I die"
