Fly Away | Numatik ft. James Landrum

[Intro]
Psalm 118:5 says,
"In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free."

[Chorus]
Free (I'm free), an' I'm livin' my life
Take the darkness, bring the light
Free (I'm free) an' I'm soarin' the sky
Watch me fly, watch me fly away

[Verse 1]
Happened so fast, didn't see it comin'
Dad left, eyes wet, soon to have nothin'
Fam theft, I sweat, now I can't trust him
I knew life, now a new life, start strugglin'
Seems like it's been awhile
Since my dad left, for a chick so quick, gettin' wild
"Forget the family, wifey, kids, mad at me"
Sad to think, wonda' if my daddy eva' thought of me?
An' here I was, abandoned by my own blood
Neva' thought a dad could abandon what he loved
'enough, havin' a fam's too scary
He was in a hurry to leave, he remarries
Three little kids left alone
All tryna' figure out, life on their own
Identity shown, I'm movin' on an' I'm neva' gonna' look back
My God's taken me higher than a jetpack

[Verse 2]
One thing, lead to another
Here I was a young boy livin' with a single mother
New school, new tools, got messed with
Couldn't hit back, sit back an' suppress it
I thought it through, exactly what I would do
Drop the three bullies, an' finally run 'em through
I'm done with all the drama an' lies
All the people saying I was too weak, all the drama I find
I wanted so bad, to put them bullies in line
But God had another plan in mind, not doin' time
He's killin' the pride inside me, on the daily
I don't want my pride to break me, an' go crazy
Mainly, I'll shove my pride in a basket
Throw it off a cliff, 'cause pride I won't have it
It'll be the death o' me, if I leave it be
So I'ma let go, an' let God free me like

[Verse 3]
My life, same book, new chapter
So many questions, I've asked, with no answers
Stay true, more real than an actor
I know I'm not a gangster, but yo' boy a rapper
Time to wrap up, lemme say somethin'
In God there is freedom from your past no sufferin'
I forgot, why I was down in the first place
Down like downtown, down like bass
I'ma move on, keep flyin' higher
I'm an eagle flyin' out the coop, barbed wire
Rewired like a Coupe, new tires
Upgraded with a new roof, I'ma rider
Rollin' with my homies in the church, on fire
We're all reppin' Christ, gave life, late riser
Feelin' wiser, now I know the truth
So I'ma write about it, an' spit it behind the booth like
