Nujabes, Cise Starr , Akin Yai - Feather lyrics
[Nujabes, Cise Starr , Akin Yai - Feather lyrics]
Light as a feather when I'm floating through
Reading through the daily news
Measuring the hurt within the golden rule
Centimetres of ether, I'm heating 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 fuck is going on
It's the hope of my thoughts
That I travel upon
Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone
So I'm
Drifting away like a feather in air
Letting my words take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to reach
Something that is greater, so I'm
Drifting away like a feather in air
Letting my soul take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to reach
Something 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 it? Trying to be Dalí when I write
Surreal Life, I paint it
Vivid, habitat crazy insane
Watchin' propaganda six o'clock news
And it’s saying cultures clash
Poor black folk and white trash
They revel in the cyberspace
That might crash, dash
To millennium a million miles of running
At the speed of now back
Don't return gunning
Rambo style, gung-ho child gunning
Ammo blao two times, loud stunning
Stunning, when I hit ya
Lift you off the Earth like
Ayo, take you right back to birth and
Niggas wonder why, they might wonder why
This shit might happen but it does, they go
Drifting away like a feather in air
Letting my words take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to reach
Something that is greater, so I'm
Drifting away like a feather in air
Letting my soul take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to reach
Something 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 and self-understanding of
The things around me
That becomes the wisdom that I need
Living this life to the best of my ability
Channeling energy to my thoughts
Attain symmetry
Remember me, because my prose remain gold
I got the gift of gab
Like them pimps in Kangol it never ends
I keep it rolling like a cypher
The first caveman bringing fire
Innovating and higher to plasma states
I raise the stakes
It's double or nothing in this vacuum space
I will, survive, divine the time to cry
Fuck 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"
Reading through the daily news
Measuring the hurt within the golden rule
Centimetres of ether, I'm heating 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 fuck is going on

That I travel upon
Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone

Drifting away like a feather in air
Letting my words take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to reach
Something that is greater, so I'm
Drifting away like a feather in air
Letting my soul take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to reach
