So Fly
J. Givens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tryna live so high
Way above the clouds I'm so fly
On top of the world it's my time
Don't worry bout me I'll just pass by
I'm tryna live so high
Way above the clouds I'm so fly
On top of the world it's my time
Don't worry bout me I'll just pass by
Here we go here we go this is it
I'm high flying I got my super suit fitted
I don't take L's I'm Dj Khalid winning
I'm living my life the way panoramic didn't
I'm not bitter I'm just driven
I'm a cowboy how I'm spittin'
Quick draw for when you're triggered
When I shoot better pray for all your sinning
My egos getting bigger
You ask why
I have more than 100 songs written
I can promise this is not a phase
7 years strong and the more that I crave
Success I work hard to become great
I remember back to when I was up in outer space
I'm never coming down I don't see a need
Others want me to cause they hate when I succeed
Talkin bout I need to calm down there's no I in team
Well I agree but it does start with me
I'm tryna live so high
Way above the clouds I'm so fly
On top of the world it's my time
Don't worry bout me I'll just pass by
I'm tryna live so high
Way above the clouds I'm so fly
On top of the world it's my time
Don't worry bout me I'll just pass by
I'm innovative
Minds creative
Times are changing
Gonna make it
Started racing
Gotta chase it
Ricky Bobby
Shake an baking
Can't stay complacent
I'm half way to my safe haven
Can't wait for them to say I'm overrated
I love when my name is part of all these statements
And it's funny when they hear I don't hate it
I'm tryna get a passing grade
I'm thinking bout getting an A
So why are you the grader
You're a hater
When I'm greater
I will be the greatest
I'm making champion moves AD to the Lakers
3 strikes till I'm gone so triple X until I decide to start making Changes
Don't ever doubt my shot I'm Steph Curry from all ranges
I went from stairs to elevators
What a grind but now my mind is elevated
How you gonna sit down and judge me actin like you can debate it
You're a no one in the bleachers but I'm the one playing
I'm tryna live so high
Way above the clouds I'm so fly
On top of the world it's my time
Don't worry bout me I'll just pass by
I'm tryna live so high
Way above the clouds I'm so fly




On top of the world it's my time
Don't worry bout me I'll just pass by
