Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
Your face, the colors change from green to yellow
It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
Than to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
To the point where you can't even say hello
You say good things come to those who wait
You liked me till' you seen me on your TV
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
You say your quest is to bring it higher
Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me so so
Well if you're so low below then why you watching
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Well I never seen change without a fire
Well I've been waiting a long time for it
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
Because we're all afraid of heights
Than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire
Scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down
