lyrics
They say life's a marathon but I aint getting in line
Cuz when is winning time when there aint no finish line
I don't know about your life but I'll be living mine
I'm moving at my own pace y'all can run your own race
My mind occupies its own space
What the hell's a thrown when the clouds are your home base
I'm high as a kite right now
Out of your line of sight fly by night like owl
Third eye gleaming from a bird's eye scheming
Somewhere between flying and dreaming
Is where you'll find me ego behind me
Trying to keep pace while I dip through deep space
When I said I wouldn't stop until I found it I meant it
I'll be back down in a minute, right now I'm in it
It's that feeling when you find what you're chasing
One time for the elevation
My feet are off the ground
I'll leave the world behind
And I don't mind I just feel so high
They tell me don't look down
But I'm not scared to fall
I want to see it all Imma take my time
My soul's open moving in slow motion
Dreams so potent that I got no notion
Of time and space, real and fake they'll never
Find this place and seal my fate cuz they can
Lock my body but my mind stays roaming
Coasting down the coast when I'm zoning, no potion
Heat from the sun, breeze from the ocean
I'll sleep when I'm done I'm deep in the moment
And Imma try to never let it go
Forever's where I'm headed if I let it flow incredible
I wish I could give you this feeling
With no concept of a ceiling
But I guess to each his own we just try with what we're given
But don't heed the limits the sky is the beginning
I hope we all find what we're chasing
2 times for your mind, elevation
My feet are off the ground
I'll leave the world behind
And I don't mind I just feel so high
They tell me don't look down
But I'm not scared to fall
I want to see it all Imma take my time
Cuz when is winning time when there aint no finish line
I don't know about your life but I'll be living mine
I'm moving at my own pace y'all can run your own race
My mind occupies its own space
What the hell's a thrown when the clouds are your home base
I'm high as a kite right now
Out of your line of sight fly by night like owl
Third eye gleaming from a bird's eye scheming
Somewhere between flying and dreaming
Is where you'll find me ego behind me
Trying to keep pace while I dip through deep space
When I said I wouldn't stop until I found it I meant it
I'll be back down in a minute, right now I'm in it
It's that feeling when you find what you're chasing
One time for the elevation
My feet are off the ground
I'll leave the world behind
And I don't mind I just feel so high
They tell me don't look down
But I'm not scared to fall
I want to see it all Imma take my time
My soul's open moving in slow motion
Dreams so potent that I got no notion
Of time and space, real and fake they'll never
Find this place and seal my fate cuz they can
Lock my body but my mind stays roaming
Coasting down the coast when I'm zoning, no potion
Heat from the sun, breeze from the ocean
I'll sleep when I'm done I'm deep in the moment
And Imma try to never let it go
Forever's where I'm headed if I let it flow incredible
I wish I could give you this feeling

2 times for your mind, elevation

And I don't mind I just feel so high
They tell me don't look down
But I'm not scared to fall
I want to see it all Imma take my time
