[Chorus: Ryan Leslie & Aasim]
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby (Uh-huh)
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah (Check it out, uh)
[Verse 1: Aasim]
Dear Pop, know you livin' up top
Hope that you lookin' down as I give this my best shot
Sorry for all the fights, arguments out of spite
Compliments of my pride, not the apology type
But I cried me a river, sick of soakin' in sin
And I'm up shit's creek, knowin' I couldn't swim
I'm just havin' my veins to bring me back from the pain
Sittin', rackin' my brain to carry your last name
Holdin' my head down but not 'cause I'm ashamed
It's words that I'm writin' down, hope they critically acclaimed
Used to hug the lamp post, look at me, I done changed
Selfish, and then considerate, look at me, I'm the same
Always keep you in prayer, look at me, I've been prayin'
And I know I shoulda listened to everything you was sayin'
But it's go time, you by my side, who could stop me?
It's show time, I could feel you part of my heartbeat
[Chorus: Ryan Leslie & Aasim]
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Uh)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby (Yeah)
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Uh, uh)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah (Uh, uh)
[Verse 2: Aasim]
Dear Aniya, the Devil is a liar
Keep your heads in the clouds and be everything you aspire
Daddy's doin' his diligence to keep you from the fire
Ignorant isn't bliss and soon it gotta expire
Remember when you was born, I was sworn a provider
But your mother's a moolie and treats me like a liar
Diary of a mad black woman, never be that
Hopefully as you get older, you could grow to see that
As times flies, lies slow down and catch up
When you deal with emotion, somethin' is bound to mess up
But even if I'm not around, my energy's strong
The legacy's long, so it'd be around when our enemies gone
Learn to separate, winners never hesitate
The worst is always present before the better could elevate
All I know is, you the power that keeps me goin'
I think you feel it, but I'm hopin' that one day you know it
[Chorus: Ryan Leslie, Aasim, Both]
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Uh)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah (Uh, uh)
[Verse 3: Aasim]
I spent a lotta time chasin' all the bad shit
A product of starvin', I was caught in the madness
Lookin' for light in the tunnel, caught in the blackness
The problem child just lookin' for love
I couldn't look up above, afraid a pigeon would shit in my face
But givin' up is not a option, I finish the race
This world wants me in the grave, and give up my faith
But there's a God watchin' over and keepin' me safe
[Chorus: Ryan Leslie, Aasim, Both]
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Uh-huh)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah
[Outro: Aasim, The Notorious B.I.G. & Ryan Leslie]
I wanna thank y'all for listenin'
This was just my story
The endin' of a chapter, Money Pit 3
Hope you enjoyed the ride
It ain't over though
Ayo, B.I.G., talk to 'em
My music really ain't really got no messages like
For somebody else to listen to and like learn from
It's just basically an autobiography of my self, you know what I'm sayin'?
You could take it either way you want it
You could take it as you wanna be like me, or you could take it as you wanna stay away from what I was doin'
You know, I mean I can't really
Be that role model type of nigga, you know what I'm sayin'?
I could leave that to the parents and the teachers and shit
I'm not a role model at all, I'm not
I'm just a regular guy, I'm just makin' music
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, baby (Uh-huh)
So when I fly, you fly, we fly together (Yeah)
And when I shine, you shine, we shine forever, oh yeah (Check it out, uh)
