Flight
Rich Brian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I see that everybody start to fuck with me
'Cause they feelin' like I'm finna get them as an OG
Flame lowkey
On the top of the dictionaries talkin' down on me
And I always say, "Guess we'll see"
Guarantee that you'll always finna think I'm on speed
Sound a little trippy, think I'm on LSD
14 when I started doing it, home school kid never knew he was a prodigy, ayy
Get back on the track, with the crack stack
Pilin' in my wallet, gettin' fat like a Shake Shack
Pictures on my Snapchat, that's all I got about last night
All I know is shit was goddamn tight (ayy)
Went to America, shit is feelin' biblical
All my life I only saw it on the digital
Said, "I don't give a fuck about a mothafuckin' po"
On the beach so I could be smokin' indigo

Flyin' 20 hours never felt so right
They say I get better as the days go by
I'm just tryna be the GOAT
Used to see them walk by
Gettin' ready for this life
All I see is red and white
Flyin' 20 hours never felt so right
They say I get better as the days go by
I'm just tryna be the GOAT
Used to see them walk by
Gettin' ready for this life
All I see is red and white

Landed in Chicago, met the customs
Mean muggin' mothafuckers let me tell ya something
And I almost got deported back to the home town
'Cause I didn't know what road my hotels on
Then I met my manager, Sean 88 chillin' in the passenger
And I'm feelin' tripped out, seein' him for the first time
Worked overseas for a year, that's a long run (88)
Now I'm finally here, what now, what to do next? I don't care
Every single day feelin' like I'm on a mission
Workin' with Pharrell on my first damn session
Never had to write in a room with nobody
Feelin' under pressure, man this dude made "Happy"
Wrote a couple bars while chuggin' on a Red Bull
Then all of the sudden, all my work is turned to vapors ayy

Flyin' 20 hours never felt so right
They say I get better as the days go by
I'm just tryna be the GOAT
Used to see them walk by
Gettin' ready for this life
All I see is red and white
Flyin' 20 hours never felt so right
They say I get better as the days go by
I'm just tryna be the GOAT
Used to see them walk by




Gettin' ready for this life
All I see is red and white
