Dyin' Flyin'

  • Is it true, I can only fly so high?
    Then, then without wings, I truly die

    If you trace it back to the beginnin'
    I never sold a single piece of music before Mitch Bade
    This laid, the foundation for me to get paid
    This day, you can still hear that gangster on a sick page
    Now I'm flyin' high but dyin's, my
    Fans that were buyin' I
    They're cryin', "Why
    Does he have to get bigger and flow with artists from mainstream?"
    Good music reaches all and he's creating a strange scene

    How, far up can I go
    Before you say you love me?
    You love me not?
    You love me?
    You love me not?
    I'm flying but I'm dying faster
    Hoping you won't go away

    How the hell are you sayin' that all the records I'm playin'
    Since 2010 are not obeyin' the Strange Law
    Remain raw, give your happy and pain all
    Spit with a flame jaw with the teeth of a chainsaw
    This what I do when I'm flyin' right off the shelf
    And when something musical helps
    You can't keep it all to yourself
    It grows and grows, always hard never tryin' soft
    So how in the world you fix your face to say that you dyin' off

    How, far up can I go
    Before you say you love me?
    You love me not?
    You love me?
    You love me not?
    I'm flying but I'm dying faster
    Hoping you won't go away

    Ah
    Frustrated, cause I'm thinkin' that if enough hate it
    It'll make remaining fans start feelin' their trust faded

    I don't wanna die (I don't wanna die)
    I just wanna keep my lifeline
    And that's the family who recite N9ne's passages
    And back it just cause ain't no other like mine (tight rhymes)
    And even the people applaud
    They still wanna bury hard, cause they don't wanna be a god
    I'm higher than the stars now
    The bottom is too far down
    Whoever throws sand at the Nina
    Yeah it kinda cuts but it ain't enough to take me down
    I've been so true, so things I do will go my way
    With the power of the pen, the paper, the people do as I say

    How, far up can I go
    Before you say you love me?
    You love me not?

    My fans are my lifeline, so it kills me to think how they can just cut off

    There can only be one

    Thou shall only be me
    When the whole world's changing
    All shall remain

    I'm flying higher more and more everyday
    But lately, I've been feelin' like I should just fly away Writer/s: Aaron Dontez Yates, Samuel William Christopher Watson
