Lyrics
Blasting Off
Written by Jahi
Peep my centrifugal force my language is not coarse
Reading William Cooper's beware of the Pale Horse
Why they give more money to people playing the sports
Than the school grade teachers who raise our future leaders
Of course it's for the soul we can't party all the time
Keep up drunk stuck on stupid it's all by design
If you access the power of the mind they intimidated
That's why they keep us locked caged and sedated
When you choose to break the cycle dare to be great
Hear comes the hate inner doubt saying wait
That's why my music waking you up like Spike Lee
Replenish your spirit think and move wisely
Fight the Power like the Isley's verbal nectar like the bees
Oxygen to breath just like the tallest tree
And I give it with a smile peep my universal style
Walk with it for a while
Cause I'm blasting off I'm in the stars with the satellites
Cause I'm blasting off like jumbo jets taking flight
That's right I'm blasting off verbal power turbo jets
That's right I'm blasting off you now rocking with the best
Zoom Zoom here we go Zoom Zoom here we Go Zoom Zoom here we go
The only constant is change beats bang watch for vultures with the fangs
Sucking life clutch my mic like it's the only thang that I need
To proceed succeed watch for haters and the greed good advice take heed
Smart emcee well that's me I'll never dumb down
World renowned now I'm back in my hometown
In a city where recession is depression
Need hope to trickle down peep my motivation sound
Blessing and peace permeates thru the Cleveland streets
Where the beast eat their young where I'm from
Look like a ghost town I'm the urban revival
Come get this Hip Hop music for your survival
Not street music get out of your seat music
Flows are so fluid check my past how I do this
Check my present and my future google me on your computer
Thinking bigger stronger faster rock out at NASA
Cause I'm blasting off I'm in the stars with the satellites
Cause I'm blasting off like jumbo jets taking flight
That's right I'm blasting off verbal power turbo jets
That's right I'm blasting off you now rocking with the best
Zoom Zoom here we go Zoom Zoom here we Go Zoom Zoom here we go
