On & On
Joey Bada$$ feat. Maverick Sabre & Dyemond Lyrics

My mind just booked a first class ticket to my destiny by the way
I am confident and focused on achieving my goals.

Maybe I'mma fly away
I may leave my current life and start anew.

Maybe I'mma fly away, some day
At some point in the future, I may choose to leave everything behind.

So gullible just like my first love
In the past, I have been easily fooled and naive.

Stay humble, but I knew that I was first up
I am humble, but I know that I am talented and successful.

Picked up the pen and that's when I drew my first blood
I started writing music and poured my heart and soul into it.

Spit my heart again, cause the pain'll never end
I continue to put my emotions into my music, because they are always with me.

Happiness is temporary, always has been
Joyful moments are fleeting and do not last.

I just lost one, but sometimes I win
I recently experienced a loss, but there are also times when I succeed.

I always spread love, but sometimes I sin
I try to be positive and loving, but I am not perfect and make mistakes.

I only trust some, that’s why I keep a few friends
I am selective with my friendships and only trust a small number of people.

Funny cause I used to see my circle never end
I used to have many friends, but things have changed.

Always kept like 47 friends in my circle of friends
I used to have a large group of friends, but now I have much fewer.

All that’s left now is the radiance
Only the brightest and most positive aspects of my past friendships remain.

They still here, trying to find love on this atmosphere
My friends are still around, searching for happiness in life.

Things get severe for everybody, everywhere
Life can be challenging for everyone, no matter where they are.

This is my moment of truth, right here
I am now facing a critical and decisive moment in my life.

Swear I ain't scared of no man
I am confident and fearless.

I see the omens
I am aware of the signs and signals around me.

I pick 'em up and keep it rollin'
I acknowledge the signals and keep moving forward.

The omnipresence is omnipotent
The power of the universe is all-knowing and all-powerful.

But I keep going, 'til it’s all said and done
Despite the challenges, I keep pushing forward until I succeed.

I show all my soul purpose but I’m pretty sure there's one
I express myself authentically and truthfully, but there is still more to discover about myself.

There’s a reason why I’ve come, new season's just begun
I believe that I have a purpose in life and a new chapter is beginning.

This the death of a psychopomp but a birth of God's son
I am undergoing a transformative experience where my old self is dying and a new, better version of myself is being reborn.

Don’t mourn me when I’m gone, celebrate my travels
When I pass away, I want people to celebrate my journey and accomplishments.

Whenever you need me, just take a plane to the astral zone
Even after I'm gone, I believe that my spirit will still exist, and people can connect with me in a spiritual realm.

I’m headed home, I’ve been hurting too long
I believe that my true home is in a spiritual realm, and I have been in pain for too long in this physical world.

Time don’t stand still, so you gotta move on
Life moves on and changes, so we must keep moving forward.

On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
Life continues, with its ups and downs.

I had a dream I seen my name on the gravel stone
I had a dream where I saw my name on a tombstone.

And read here lies a G followed by a poem
The inscription on the tombstone read "Here lies a G" and included a poem.

I couldn't see the words but I'm sure what's in his own
I couldn't read the words, but I am confident that they were meaningful.

Funny that I write most when I know my feeling's wrong
I find that I am most creative when I am feeling negative emotions.

With both shoulders that my head is always on
I carry a heavy emotional burden, and it is always on my mind.

I trudge through harm's way with heavy boulders on my arm
I am able to persevere through difficulties, even when they are emotionally or physically taxing.

I feel strong as I walk through the many storms that
Even during the most challenging times, I feel empowered and capable.

Rain on my parade, seen the dust cry for days
I have experienced difficult times and significant setbacks.

I'm feeling like a young prince, I'm drinking today
Despite the difficulties, I feel optimistic and celebratory.

My name ring bells all the way to heaven's gate
My reputation and influence have reached even the highest realms.

Though STEEZy told about me, yo I know he always watching
My friend STEEZy spoke about me, and I believe that he is still watching over me.

I guess there really is a heaven for us hip hoppers
I believe that there is a spiritual realm for people in the hip-hop community.

I really miss my partner
I feel a deep sense of loss for my friend and collaborator.

But I know he with Big Poppa, 2 Pacs, and the big L rolled proper
I believe that my friend is in a spiritual realm with other influential rap artists who passed away.

And that's a big pun, know that I'mma join him
I feel that one day, I will also join my friend and these other influential artists in a spiritual realm.

When my time come, but the story just begun, so
I know that my time on earth is limited, but my legacy will continue beyond my lifetime.

One day I'mma fly away
I may leave my current life and start anew.

One day I'mma fly away (fly away, fly away)
I may leave everything behind and begin a new life.

One day you will fly away (fly away, fly away)
Others may also leave their current circumstances and start anew.

One day we will fly away (fly away, fly away)
As a society, we may move beyond our current state and begin anew.

My clouds grey, I hope my pain don’t show
I am dealing with a lot of emotional pain, but I do not want it to be apparent to others.

Looking in the sky I wonder where them rainbows go
I am curious about the beauty of the world and where it goes.

They say that if we reign, them pot-of-gold’s will show
There is a belief that if we are successful, we will find wealth and prosperity.

Even skating down the block don’t feel the same no more
Everyday activities and experiences are no longer enjoyable or fulfilling.

If I ain’t looking, I still see it all
Even when I'm not actively looking, I still notice everything around me.

My vision’s jaded, too much bitches rubbed the crystal balls
My perspective is distorted due to the negative influence of others.

They stay scheming, y’all like the sheep to the shepherd
Others are always trying to manipulate and take advantage of me and others in the community.

The trees to the leaves, you needed but not needed
I am valuable to others, but they don't always treat me as such.

So I work alone, lone wolf, stay creeping
I prefer to work independently and quietly, much like a lone wolf.

I'd rather hunt on my own then be owned and not eating
I prefer to be self-sufficient and in control of my life, rather than being dependent on others.

I’m not eatin’, not blamin’, I’m just sayin’
I am not blaming others for my situation, but I am acknowledging it.

Go to bed with hunger pains while these other niggas caking, they too fake
While others may be successful or wealthy, I am willing to sacrifice material possessions for my independence and authenticity.

No rappers rapping for years waiting 'round for that big break
Many artists struggle for years without receiving their big break or recognition.

Break a arm, break a bond before I go break the bank
I would rather break ties with people or even suffer physical harm than sacrifice my financial stability.

Break a hundred, that's fifty-fifty
I am willing to spend money if it helps me achieve my goals.

Long as rolling and Whitney's seen different cities, different titties
As long as I am traveling and experiencing different places and people, I am content.

I bring no money with me, I'm on my grind man, no regrets when I die man
I am focused on working hard and achieving my goals, regardless of my current financial situation, and I have no regrets in my life.

'Til we fly man, 'til we fly man, 'til we fly man
Until we reach the pinnacle of our success and fulfillment, we must continue to persevere and work hard.

You gon' miss us when we fly man
Others may not recognize our potential or value until we have achieved success and greatness.
