By and By lyrics

Eligh:
I just might just take off and go;
Stay free of the shackles that way down my soul
Pull in the chips then stack them up high
So the castle walls rugged when I’m ready to roll
Rolling thunder hear my cry when I’m on the road;
Cuz I got a personality to keep me
In the fold, in the cut, in the back..
Used to be I had to roll a blunt from a sack
Just to interact with the sun in the west..
Just a lost young man with a gun to the chest till the fun went south
And my heart went north..
Wingspan grew as a young man knew
Realized that it’s all in the back of
His eyes..the Universe is bigger than you’ve ever dreamed
As your swimming in the evergreens
And the dimmers on the rise to the brightest that you’ve ever seen
As you formulate a better dream..
Some people scheme to the guillotine..but I can't cut off my God
Cuz he’s in a man, he’s everywhere..
A divine hand, gratitude in my attitude when I take off and fly
Cuz I made up my mind
I’m not mad at you, if you can't keep up with the speed of a hawk
With his eye on the prey as I fly in and slay all the liars astray
In the fires of today we can get away..
Take my first step off the ledge, then use my flow to alternate
My wingspan flaps inside my head
To take my fans to altered states
Take you to that place of peace
Where you won’t be scared to face that beast;
Win that battle for your soul
I’m here in the armor made of platinum and gold don’t run

Jo:
Skip and run, jump and fly
We can get there if we try
By and by...
By and by...
Skip and run, jump and fly
We can get there if we try
By and by...
By and by...

Grouch:
When life’s too fast, I gotta move slow
Until I grow my wings and then that’s when I’m a fly
I’ve seen the other side, I got people waiting on me
Feeling my story so I’m sticking with Eligh
Dropping more leaves, trees grown wise..
I didn’t wanna lie..never said this sh*t was easy know that baby’s gonna cry..
And then she’s gonna smile big for me cuz I’m perfecting my path
After I come up with my answers, then I’m checking my math
I know to crawl before you ball, believe just half of what you saw
Perceive the glass is almost full, but you can fill another glass..
Still another calf laughs, he’s just a part of the herd
But we ain’t gotta butt heads, I get much farther with words
I’m just an artist tryin’ to run and jump, a dreamer who can skip and fly
I seen you losing grip and I came zippin’ by
Dippin’, hittin’ switches something vicious, then I double back..
Ain’t no trouble, that’s just in my nature, lets get there, we'll take you..
Eligh
