See Me Fly
Chance the Rapper Lyrics
Pull the ground from out under me
If you wanna see me fly
Where I'm from, you learn to walk rockin' ankle weights
The dirt road for us ran about his ankle brace
Was gettin' chased down block for a bunch of reasons
If you was learnin' how to fly, then it was huntin' season
And if you learnin' how to try, then it was try and cheat them
My mama seen it, said, "Boy, you better" (and I'm gonna take this shot)
You ain't gotta knock 'em out before you gotta beat them (risk it all against the fall)
You better look at every shot like it's your shot at freedom
Now fast forward, the kid is the king
Championship so big the box fit in the ring
They make 'em fantasize match ups who could in his prime
I could shoot from the logo with my foot on the line
That mean my shoes too big to fill
Future on free bands, my presence on the court like my past keep replaying
My wingspan longer than the message at the bottom of CSPAN
Just a kid who played Heat fans and Cleveland for real
Pull the ground from out under me
If you wanna see me fly
Look at the sky up where the clouds at
The air up here is so clear, we clearly on top
From out under me
If you wanna see me fly
We built this thing from where the ground's at
It's our time to take flight, we're cleared for take off
From out under me
If you wanna see me fly
Yeah
It's game time now, we gotta jump it like the tip off
Whole city been waiting on me, prepare for lift off
Never cheat the process, there's some you can't rip off
Made it through the struggle and prosper through every pitfall
I can't sleep, walked in with game seven energy
The gang three, I come from the bay, boy, I killin' it no more game
And I'm gonna take this shot
Risk it all against the fall
If they can't hold me, can't block me
I'm up on this nonstop
Not earthbound, yeah, can't lift it, yeah
Silk shot, yeah, yeah, no limit
Yeah, if they can't hold me, can't block me
I'm not stoppin', no
You can try to keep me down
Pull the ground out from me now
If you wanna see me fly
Look at the sky up where the clouds at (yeah, yeah)
The air up here is so clear, we clearly on top
From out under me
If you wanna see me fly (come on)
We built this thing from where the ground's at (woo, woo, yeah)
It's our time to take flight, we're cleared for take off
From out under me (yeah)
If you wanna see me fly (see me fly)
If you wanna see me fly
Where I'm from, you learn to walk rockin' ankle weights
