The Grouch - 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** 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 gla** is almost full, but you can fill another gla**.. Still another calf laughs, he's just a part of the herd But we ain't gotta bu*t 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 Jo: By and by, by and by........ Get up, get up, get up, get up....
