Evidence, Slug, Aesop Rock - Late For The Sky lyrics

Been here for too long
Said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, cause I'm
Been here for too long, yes it's time to fly
Got to get along, cause I'm late for the sky
Been here for too long, got to uh
Cause I'm late for the sky

I dream what these wings won't do
Cause counting sheep is easy as 1, 2
Jumping out the nest to catch some bird food
Clutch's so tense that the
Knuckles turned blue
I been hooped to wise men, check horizon
Read the flight plan, spread the life span
Sky heights are set
It's time to climb these steps
We only tryna get free from the spider's web
Gotta murder all the messing around
Carry the burden of work
Never setting it down
With a spotlight now, my shot, my chance
Put a plot of land in the pockets of my pants
Break loose, raise roof when the kick drops
They flew straight through, no pit stops
Lift off with your head in the clouds
Or get lost in the rest of the crowd

Been here for too long
Said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, cause I'm (1-2)
Times have come and gone
Yes it's time to ride early in the morning
(Late for the sky) been here for too long
Said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, 'cause I'm
(Late for the sky) times have come and gone
Yes it's time to fly got to get along
(Late for the sky)

Here's a quotable, slash rap notable
Slash Mike gone but Janet
Still controllin' you
I'm rarely candid, my view panoramic
My eyes wide shut, if not one, a hole-in-two
I'm packing double, getting up too early
I'm actually trouble, kinda acting 7: 30
(Out of my mind) attracted to this Earth
Maybe acting kinda worldly
But running on my work that
Says Ev I better hurry
I'd rather worry debt than being
Pushed through the line
Still a perfect record jet
Never late when I fly moving hectic
Testing patience of this time when I rhyme
Not an out to death trying
Saying late for the sky late for my prime
But something that was shaped by design
I been running while the others
Burnt from racing the line
Makin' it great coincides with makin' it mine
Coincides with the hate that
I'm makin' it signs
Let me start from the beginning
I'm rewinding the clock
Pitch my heart in every inning like
I did with the knock and it don't stop
A body in motion stays in motion
Coach seat between the wings of this Boeing

Been here for too long
Said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, cause I'm (1-2)
Times have come and gone
Yes it's time to ride early in the morning
(Late for the sky) been here for too long
Said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, 'cause I'm
(Late for the sky) times have come and gone
Yes it's time to fly got to get along
(Late for the sky)

From a chicken wire frame and a house of wax
To a rocket exploding into a cloud of bats
I been it, dog meat in the '76 Plymouth
Sittin' bitch
Antenna divining for live witches
Have you buried a corpse
Can you suture a wound
Do you get a fuzzy feeling
When the beautiful lose
Like a behooving of a crew to snap Buddha
Enthuse greatly
Prove a definitive crucible of mood making
Four wolves find me to
Speak as an eye-witness
We will be closing in five minutes
Find spinach not a pleasantry but stirring
Only enemies of mercy
A plebeian centipede's unearthing
Something dirty
Same nature later snap on his shoes
Maybe they ratty cause they actually
A hat for his roots
That anchor every perfect pivot to
The city's nervous system
Til I make the following preferred decision
Listen

Been here for too long
Said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, cause I'm (1-2)
Times have come and gone
Yes it's time to ride early in the morning
(Late for the sky) been here for too long
Said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, 'cause I'm
(Late for the sky)
Times have come and gone, yes it's fly
Got to get along (Late for the sky)
