Tom MacDonald - Sail Away lyrics

Imma sail away imma sail away

I made it across the border
Went and got a tattoo on my forehead
I keep livin' inside the moment
Time moves slow in California
I been on my pray to god before bed
I been on my tip all of the doormen
I been on my smoke one and record it
I been on my smile at the reporter shit
Too many rappers are reaching me lately
I been in my hotel just sippin' on JD
My shirt still plaid, my girl still
Bad, my ex still sad, my mind still crazy
Heaven forbid I end up back in Edmonton
I just made it out of 7th and Jefferson
You probably don't know what that
Is when I mention it
That's in the hood where
People are sellin' shit
Last year in Crenshaw


On the border of Compton where the color of
Your shirt could get you in some problems
Last year off Hastings, in the heart of
East Van, smokin' on a great blunt
Walkin' past a police van
Then shit got crazy dealin'
With them border agents
Denied after 11 hours I was
Back on Canadian pavement
Investigations on my Facebook
Cause they thought that I was someone else
And now I'm under palm trees in America
Smokin' the air

All the bullshit I been goin' through
Has made me who I am
I been overseas and smokin' trees
Grown in a foreign land
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Like my old man
Sail away from these motherfuckers
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Just like my daddy did Imma
Sail out on you motherfuckers
Aye, Imma sail away shoutout to my papa
He taught me to never be afraid

I been on my pack my bags and leave home
Greece to Italy, we gone
And everyone who got left behind so
Foul they owe me free-throws
We were swervin' through the streets just
Tryna make it to the hotel
Drivin' drunk in Germany
The whole team almost went to jail
That's tour life
Hit the Autobahn in my dirty
Jeans and my ripped shirt
That's sailin' out to Crete and BEA
Had all us strip search
So many moments were right out the movies
Party with Onyx and open for Kool Keith
Fighting with KutMasta Kurt and the
Losing my shit and
My dudes for not standing up to with me
Since I made it across that line
Sellin' my mixtapes all online
I been on my run and drink a smoothie shit
Then get back on the grind
I been on my guest appearance and cool style
On an episode of Love & Hip Hop
My enemies is so pissed off
And y'all are steady gettin' jealous cause
I'm surfin' out in Venice
And countin' all of my blessings
And y'all are gonna need a dentist
Man I'm killing it so bad
You won't identify the skeleton

All the bullshit I been goin' through
Has made me who I am
I been overseas and smokin' trees
Grown in a foreign land
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Like my old man
Sail away from these motherfuckers
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Just like my daddy did Imma
Sail out on you motherfuckers
Aye, Imma sail away shoutout to my papa
He taught me to never be afraid
Aye, Imma sail away
Just like my daddy did he taught
Me to always ride the waves

And keep lookin' for the horizon
Cause when the water's bad you won't
Get seasick tryna find it
Life is like a mast
You can't set sail until you climb it
It's cool to get some booty but
Don't turn into a pirate
Money's like a boat
Stay afloat but don't go overboard
Cause everything you need is up ahead when
You make it to the shore, my boy
One day you'll see your mind
Is like the ocean, unexplored and super deep
So be kind and think twice
The stars will all align
And the universe will take the wheel
Everything will be fine
So stay calm and move on
They'll be upset that you gone
But don't let that shit get to
You and fuck you up my boy
If you learn one thing from me you have to
Get your sails up to find your Hanalei

All the bullshit I been goin' through
Has made me who I am
I been overseas and smokin' trees
Grown in a foreign land
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Like my old man
Sail away from these motherfuckers
I been sails up in this motherfucker
Just like my daddy did Imma
Sail out on you motherfuckers
Aye, Imma sail away shoutout to my papa
He taught me to never be afraid
Aye, Imma sail away
Just like my daddy did he taught
Me to always ride the waves
