VERSE ONE:
It's like belief vs. knowledge, reason vs. logic
even if you ain't seein' the meaning between all the garbage,
we take a chance (more like a risk): pushing the air with our fist.
Rhetorical questions, we're guessing what direction is which?
Where to go?
Who to see?
I guess it's just you and me.
What's considered "wrong" in your eyes, just might be truth to me.
Realizing I'm everything I choose to be.
Mind over matter, blind faith: mathematics couldn't factor.
It's like sometimes you just gotta believe,
take a step towards the edge and put your chest to the breeze and just be.
And stop trying to be, 'cause one you're gonna finally
understand you gotta let go, just to hold on and fly free
over the peak, over the edge.
Some people scared being close to that ledge.
We're scared to shine, terrified to ball.
You don't wanna jump?
Or don't wanna fall?
Cause the higher you go, please believe that's harder you crash.
We play it safe and avoid mistakes and we lower the stakes so the pain won't last.
"What if?" is all you ask
'cause you don't wanna fail like you're in class.
But I say it's time we fly - just hope you packed your bags!

CHORUS:
Before I jump out the window I gotta know
I gotta know
Before I jump out the window I gotta know
Cause I'm 100 stories high in the sky
just trying to see if I can fly
100 stories high in the sky
just trying to see if I can fly

VERSE TWO:
There's no official day.
No official age.
When we begin that evolution of different stage,
different page, different chapter,
different ways to live hereafter -
perhaps I've reached a point where I'm not satisfied with just being a rapper.
When do you know when you grow?
If I could see me from your perspective, I'm sure it'd show.
Perhaps when you see that kid who was 9 years old, you was 16...
but now he's graduating, 'finna be on his own!
It's like I woke up one day like "Ve, this is your life!"
Now I'm looking around like "damn, at some point I gotta get things right."
At some point I gotta move something outta my way to get somewhere, somehow.
(I'm) always waiting for somebody, but never will I wait no more, not now!

BRIDGE:
No I won't stop,
everything on the line.
No I won't stop
I won't stop til I shine (2x)

CHORUS
