Hot Air Balloon
Derek Minor feat. Kiya Lacey Lyrics

You up in your cubicle
You are at your workplace, sitting in your cubicle.

Worked seven hours got one to go
You have worked for seven hours already and have only one more hour left.

Dinner waitin' for you at home
Your dinner is ready for you to eat at your home.

But you gotta finish this project though
However, you still have to finish a project before leaving.

It's almost time to get off
It is almost time to finish work and leave.

So you take it up to your boss
You take your completed project to your boss for feedback.

All your co-workers impressed
Your co-workers are impressed with your project.

But he don't like it at all
However, your boss does not like it at all.

So, you gonna have to stay late (What)
Therefore, you will have to stay at work later than expected.

You gonna have to stay late (Dang)
You express frustration at having to stay late.

Gary get on your nerves,
Your co-worker Gary irritates you.

He always findin' ways to hate
Gary is always trying to criticize and belittle you.

But what you don't know is he insecure
However, what you do not realize is that Gary is actually insecure.

And he always fail himself, plus
Gary always fails himself and struggles with his own issues.

Life smashed his dreams, so he crush everyone else
Gary's dreams have been shattered, causing him to bring everyone else down.

And that's the way that it is,
This is just how things are.

Even though it ain't right
Even though it is not fair.

'Cause he might of bought those problems
Gary may have caused his own problems and is now projecting onto others.

But you payin' the price
However, you are the one who is suffering the consequences of Gary's actions.

Move around and 'round like a tornado that
Gary's behavior is like a destructive tornado.

Tearin' everything down,
His behavior is tearing everything apart.

Trying to blow us all away
Gary is attempting to cause harm and chaos for everyone involved.

You so full of hot air, and that's on my momma
Gary is full of meaningless, boastful talk.

I'ma put it in a balloon and float over all that drama
You will ignore Gary's negative behavior and rise above it all.

I see stars shining bright below my feet
You have a positive outlook and are able to see beauty in the world.

You can't bring me down, no you can't, you can't bring me down
Gary's behavior will not affect your positive attitude.

So just keep giving me everything I need
You are confident and know that you have what you need to succeed.

OK now I'm off in this studio
You are now in a recording studio.

Puttin' finishin' touches on all these songs
You are finishing touches on your music.

I'll probably shoot a video
You are planning to create a music video.

Unless of course my album budget is all gone
Your plans may be impacted if the budget for your album is depleted.

I turn it in to my label, everybody like who
You deliver your music to your record label, and they have questions about it.

All these fans say that they love it, bought two copies off of Itunes
Your fans have enjoyed and supported your music, purchasing multiple copies.

Then I get a mention on my timeline, with some random blogger review
You receive a notification about a review of your music from a blogger on social media.

Said the whole album is garbage, he hate everything that I do
The blogger's review is negative, claiming that your entire album is terrible and disliking everything you do.

Well what I ain't know is he insecure, 'cause he used to rap himself 'till,
However, you do not realize that the blogger is insecure, as he used to be a rapper himself, but failed.

Life smashed his dreams, now he crush everyone else
His failed dreams have caused him to bring down others around him.

Move around and 'round like a tornado that

Although the blogger caused his own problems, others are suffering the consequences of his negative behavior.
