How Long
Mr. Airplane Man Lyrics

How longs it gonna take for them to catch up (Ketchup)
When will they finally understand what I'm trying to do?

Relish in my lines I cannot mess up
Take pleasure in my lyrics, which I have carefully crafted.

Guess up
Rise to the challenge.

Building brick by brick until the sets up
Slowly but surely, I am creating something great.

Fess up
Admit to the truth.

This is not a test run
This is serious business, not a rehearsal.

This is not a Tesla
I'm not just playing around with cool gadgets.

Barnstorm
I'm taking the world by storm.

Brainstorm
I'm thinking hard about my next move.

Let me piece my thoughts down
Allow me to express my ideas clearly and coherently.

Millions for millions for kids is what I'll toss down
I will use my platform to give back to the community.

Here you go
I'm offering this to you.

"O" you get it now like a Cheerio
Now you understand, like a lightbulb turning on.

Fuck it I'm the best of all
I am confident in my abilities.

And good for cholesterol
Metaphorically, my music is good for the soul.

Heart healthy
My music is emotionally uplifting.

Smart wealthy
My success is more than just financial gain.

Well
Overall, I am doing great.

The latter's getting closer
I'm getting closer to achieving my goals.

Attributes are glowing
My talents are shining through.

Give directions to the chauffeur
I am in control of my own destiny.

Make a Louie at the light
Make a left turn at the stoplight.

He nodded and we fist bumped
We are working together towards a common goal.

1000 fans trial the van but I'm not even pissed off
Even with technical difficulties, I am not discouraged.

How could I be
Why would I be discouraged when I love what I do?

See me in the poster store
My image is becoming more and more visible to the public.

No wonder I'm still masked at the grocery store
Despite my growing success, I still value my privacy and anonymity.

Deli section taking pics
People are taking photos of me while I'm just trying to buy groceries.

Guessin I'll get used to it
I'll have to learn to adjust to life in the public eye.

I don't have to force it this exactly what I'm chosen for
I am meant to be a musician, and it comes naturally to me.

Let me catch my cadence
Let me find my rhythm.

Let catch my mind
Let me collect my thoughts.

I don't believe it when it's posted saying "on the grind"
I don't buy into the idea of constantly working hard as the only path to success.

If I had to make a post for every fucking time
I would be inundating social media constantly.

People would be pissed
People would be annoyed if I did that.

And say that I'm out of line
They would think I am being excessive.

Just trust the words
Trust in my lyrics, which come from a genuine place.

I'd be getting banned by Zuckerberg
If I posted too much, I could get banned from social media.

Yo Al
Hey, listen up, Al.

You gotta chill out
You need to relax a little.

It's nuts absurd
This is crazy.

We get the point
We understand what you're trying to say.

Putting two and two together takes a joint
It takes some thought, but eventually it all makes sense.

And I can taste the fruits of my labor
I am finally reaping the rewards of my hard work.

And damn they're sweet as hell
They are extremely satisfying.

Caught a little seed in my teeth I plant 'em well
I am nurturing my success and making it grow.

And lately I've been watching my feet
I am focused on my own journey and not comparing myself to others.

I'm moving swell
I am making progress in my career.

Momentum in my kingdom I'm ringing on all the bells
I am making big waves and gaining recognition in the music industry.

But do they hear me though
Am I truly being heard and understood?

Do you really know
Do my fans and listeners truly understand me?

If I cared what people thought
If I let criticism discourage me,

I would have stopped this years ago
I would have given up on my dreams long ago.

But I can't
I am passionate about music and can't imagine doing anything else.

And I'm far from done
I have so much more to achieve in my career.

And I'm thinking how long working till my times run
I am constantly pushing myself, wondering how much time I have left to make my mark on the world.

I know this shits meant for me
I know that music is my true calling and destiny.
