G.R.E - Up & Away

Up and away
Getting so high that I'm flying away
Smile More 2 I was all on balloons
The pressure done hit, so I popped on the plane
And hopped out to talk bout the baggage I claim
I tried to escape, the people around me was all in my face
Deservedly so, they know I'm more than what can be paid
They know I know more than what I explain
Struggle expressing the thoughts on my brain
That's why I create, that's why I get nervous with songs that I make
It's not bout the people who farthest away
It's more bout the people who get what I say
It took me a while to even sit down with my fam and click play
Like what would they think, would they really listen to shit that I say
Or would they just skim it and call me insane
Like why is you wasting your time playing games
This shit not a joke, this really the thoughts that ran through my brain
Was so insecure and honestly sure
that the people I loved would hate on my tapes
Made smile more cuz I needed a change
Realized my doubts is what keeps me caged from flying away

I was like no no no, I don't know how that shit go
So I'm bout to go let's go, let's go
I was like no no no, that shit look like trouble for sure
Just leave me alone let go, let go of me
Story been told a bunch before, I know I know
But what can I say, that's just how it go
Up and away, I'm lost in a zone
In time and in space
I gotta let go to gain some control and lose my ego

Most of my problems they stemming from me
The root of it all insecurity
I want everyone to be caring for me
The overthinking was a daily routine
Decided to go make a project about it
Was hoping to cure the whole thing
I was writing so quick
Never was more than an hour I spent
On projecting the thoughts in my head
Forced myself not to think and go ahead
Record whatever I was feeling instead
Spoke from the chest, and that's how I thought
Put thinking at rest, that shit didn't work
Really the best thing that I learned
Through ups and downs and all of the turns
The more that I care, the more that I hurt
I'm trying my best, then I'm not concerned
That's all I can do, price my own worth
You can no longer disturb my peace
I am just saying its no longer sweet
If you got a problem, please say it to me
Promise I won't take it personally
But don't be surprised if I'm siding with me
Cause confidence key, do what I want its my daily routine, G.R.E baby

I was like no no no, I don't know how that shit go
So I'm bout to go let's go, let's go
I was like no no no, that shit look like trouble for sure
Just leave me alone let go, let go of me
Story been told a bunch before, I know I know
But what can I say, that's just how it go
Up and away, I'm lost in a zone
In time and in space
I gotta let go to gain some control and lose my ego

Top of the year I moved in with myself
Smile More 2 come out, I was impressing myself
For real, sounding so clear, I mixed all the vocals
The whole ordeal, the artwork too
I did it all, but I ain't produce
None of that shit
Start making beats for the fun of the shit
I was good with the shit, I ain't rap on the shit
I was taking a class
Where they giving out packs filled all of the kits that you wanted a shit
DJ Rasta Roots was giving us game how he started shit
Managed Phife Dawg and shit, gave us all the cool tips
For real, first collabing on music for real
Shout to JunioR, he did the whole project
Inspired by studio feels
We was together, just jamming an seshing
We knew what we had for real
Something real special for real, yea, yea
Was a new challenge, the one I was searching for after I hit my limit
Smile More 2 was the peak of what I could do alone
At least in the moment how I was feeling
Of course I was overthinking
But I knew if I wanna grow and if I wanna show
My momma what I got inside of my locker
I gotta come out way harder than before
I gotta compile some genres
I gotta promise to be honest and pure
Cuz fuck the allure,
Nothing is real on the surface
You gotta dig deeper to and find the true source
A while ago had my toes in the water
Was scared to jump in it and go
Now I just ponder if would've wondered off earlier
Where would I be on the road
Now I free-fall in unknowns
You can not cage me no more, cuz I'm up and away
