On & On
Joey Bada$$ & Maverick Sabre & Dyemond Lewis Lyrics

Momma I just booked a first class ticket to my destiny by the way
I have just booked a first-class ticket to my destiny and I am excited to embark on this journey.

Maybe I'mma fly away, some day
Someday I may leave and fly away.

So gullible just like my first love
I was very naive, just like I was during my first love experience.

Stay humble, but I knew that I was first up
I remained humble, even though I knew I was the first one to achieve something.

Picked up the pen and that's when I drew my first blood
I began writing and that's when I expressed my deepest emotions for the first time.

Spill my heart again, cause the pain'll never end
I open up and express my emotions once again because the pain I feel will never disappear.

Happiness is temporary, always has been
I realized that happiness is only temporary and it always has been.

I just lost one, but sometimes I win
I recently lost something, but sometimes I still win.

I always spread love, but sometimes I sin
I promote love, but sometimes I still make mistakes.

I only trust some, that's why I keep a few friends
I only trust a few people and that's why I keep only a few friends.

Funny cause I used to see my circle never end
It's funny because I thought my circle of friends would never end.

All that's left now is the radiance
All that remains is the light or presence of my friends.

They still here, trying to find love on this atmosphere
My friends are still here, trying to find love and happiness in this world.

Things get severe for everybody, everywhere
Everyone has to face severe challenges in their life.

This is my moment of truth, right here
This is the moment I am truthful about my feelings and experiences.

Swear I ain't scared of no man
I promise, I am not afraid of any man.

I see the omens
I notice the signs of what is to come.

I pick 'em up and keep it rollin'
I pay attention to these signs and keep moving forward.

The omnipresence is omnipotent
The all-knowing presence is all-powerful.

But I keep going, 'til it's all said and done
I keep moving forward until I achieve my goals or life comes to an end.

I show all my soul purpose but I'm pretty sure there's one
I express my purpose in life, but I still have a feeling that there's more to discover.

There's a reason why I've come, new season's just begun
I believe there's a purpose to my existence and a new chapter in my life is beginning.

This the death of a psychopomp but a birth of God's son
The psychopomp dies, but God's son is born, representing a new beginning.

Don't mourn me when I'm gone, celebrate my travels
When I pass away, don't mourn, but instead celebrate the journey I have had.

Whenever you need me, just take a plane to the astral zone
If you ever need me, just travel to the astral plane (a realm beyond the physical world).

I'm headed home, I've been hurting too long
I am going home because I have been in pain for too long.

Time don't stand still, so you gotta move on
Time doesn't wait for anyone, so it's important to move on from the past.

My clouds grey, I hope my pain don't show
I am feeling down and depressed, but I hope it doesn't show to others.

Looking in the sky I wonder where them rainbows go
I see the sky and wonder where the rainbows disappear to.

They say that if we reign, them pot-of-gold's will show
They say that if we become successful, the rewards will reveal themselves.

Even skating down the block don't feel the same no more
Even doing the things I used to love doesn't feel the same anymore.

If I ain't looking, I still see it all
Even when I'm not paying attention, I still perceive everything around me.

My vision's jaded, too much bitches rubbed the crystal balls
My perspective is distorted because too many women have influenced my life.

They stay scheming, y'all like the sheep to the shepherd
They continue to come up with schemes, like sheep following their shepherd.

The trees to the leaves, you needed but not needed
The tree needs the leaves, but the leaves are not necessarily needed.

So I work alone, lone wolf, stay creeping
Therefore, I work alone and remain isolated to avoid being taken advantage of.

I'd rather hunt on my own then be owned and not eating
I prefer to hunt and survive on my own, rather than be dependent on others and not eat.

I'm not eating, not blaming, I'm just saying
I'm not complaining or blaming anyone, I'm just speaking my truth.

Go to bed with hunger pains while these other niggas caking, they too fake
I go to bed hungry while others are faking their success and pretending to be rich.

No rappers rapping for years waiting 'round for that big break
There are no rappers who wait for years for their big break in the music industry.

Break a arm, break a bond before I go break the bank
I would rather break an arm or a bond with someone than to go bankrupt.

Break a hundred, that's fifty-fifty
If I break a hundred-dollar bill, I have to split it fifty-fifty.

Long as [?] and Whitney's seen different cities, different titties
Just like [?} and Whitney Houston, I have traveled to many different cities and have seen many different women's breasts.

I bring no money with me, I'm on my grind man, no regrets when I die man
I don't bring any money with me when I travel, I am just focused on working hard and I will not have any regrets when I die.

'Til we fly man, 'til we fly man, 'til we fly man
Let's keep striving until we fly and reach our goals.

You gon' miss us when we fly man
When we achieve our goals and fly high, people will miss us and remember our legacy.

One day I'mma fly away
I will eventually fly away and leave this world behind.

One day you will fly away
You will also eventually leave this world behind.

One day we will fly away
Eventually, we will all leave this world behind.

I had a dream I seen my name on the gravel stone
I dreamed that I saw my name on a gravestone.

And read here lies a G followed by a poem
The gravestone read 'Here lies a G' and was followed by a poem.

I couldn't see the words but I'm sure what's in his own
I couldn't read the poem, but I know it spoke about the person who had passed away.

Funny that I write most when I know my feeling's wrong
It's ironic that I tend to write the most when I am feeling down or wrong.

With both shoulders that my head is always on
I carry the weight of my problems on both of my shoulders, causing my head to hang low.

I trudge through harm's way with heavy boulders on my arm
I struggle through difficult situations, carrying heavy burdens on my arms like boulders.

I feel strong as I walk through the many storms that rain on my parade
I feel strong as I navigate through the difficult times that try to bring me down.

Seen the dust cry for days
I have cried and suffered for days on end.

I'm feeling like a young prince, I'm drinking today
I feel powerful and like royalty, so I am celebrating with a drink.

My name ring bells all the way to heaven's gate
My name is known everywhere, even in heaven.

Though STEEZy told about me, yo I know he always watching
Although STEEZy (a late rapper and friend) told others about me, I know he is still watching over me.

I guess there really is a heaven for us hip hoppers
I think there is a heaven for us hip hop artists.

I really miss my partner
I really miss my friend and musical partner (STEEZY).

But I know he with Big Poppa, 2 Pacs, and the big L rolled proper
I am comforted knowing that he is reunited with other legendary hip hop artists who have passed away.

And that's a big pun, know that I'mma join him
That's a big deal, and I know that I will join them eventually.

When my time come, but the story just begun, so
When it's my time to go, my story will continue to be told.

On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On & On
This phrase is used as a repetition to emphasize the idea of constantly moving forward through life's ups and downs.
