Taking Flight

Verse 1

Attention Spirit Airline passengers flight 210 departing from Las Vegas

Nevada very shortly We will begin the boarding process now

Please stand by and be ready when we call you

Sitting in this airport living like I'm terminal Thinking bout my people

everyone I do this for Family on my mind oh how I'm gonna

miss em Wish I could be present at every single Christmas But this album

needs promoting Every lyric that's been spoken Got to give them something that this world

can really put their hope in This life comes at a price I'll

never sell my soul On this road to success You've got to pay the toll But most

won't take the risk So please just take the hint If you're married to your comfort

zone Then you have made your pick And honestly that's it As good

as it will get So look around at your life and ask am I

content Cause look I did the same thing And my answer was no But nobody

did it for me Man I

had to choose to grow And take responsibility My old habits were killing

me Living in captivity The prison of passivity So I

Verse 2

got started that's the best place to start Anything you've ever seen is

made up of many parts All this had a genesis But we're not at the end of it So I

get closer Until I know I

finished it Alright let's just check these messages real quick Before this flight

takes off Now that the big day is here Just remember who you

were before And who you are now And nothing has changed If you

were bought at a price You may be a rapper But to me

you're still a rockstar You gotta do Classic Dennis Hey Kyle it's me I

just wanted to give you A couple of ideas Things that I

know have really helped me Man dude you have helped me so much

First one is to be joyful always And that means you have to make a choice

You have to choose joy So make that decision Be joyful always no

matter what happens Second thing is to pray continually Be in that constant

conversation with him Before you go out on stage Let him talk to you

Listen to him carefully And the third thing is This is gonna be

really important And that is to give thanks In all circumstances Man I'm so stinking

Verse 3

proud of you dude This is an incredible opportunity Yeah My buddy David

told me Lowry there were some things you don't miss A baby's first

breath And your wifey's morning kiss Backyard conversations Drinking beer with your dad And those

home cooked meals With your mom that you've had I

told him David that's so true I'm glad that you said it Because I

often get so busy man I

forget it Like I saw your text last week But I

don't think I read it Our friendship it could fade But I

pray we never let it See I'm grateful for our brotherhood A decade of joy

Took grenades in those trenches But we were not destroyed Strength and honor to my brother

Let me offer up this toast Though I

don't see you Roth I

keep my family close

Hey Lowry it's Squeak Listen bud Be confident in Christ But stay humble

Knowing that you are the chief of sinners No better than anyone else

They're gonna rue the day They came up against the extreme bro Eminent

Verse 4

Ruage This is your captain speaking Flight attendants please prepare for landing Coming

into Las Vegas About 2

10 in the morning Favorite coffee shop in Vegas Here to serenade the planet

Val shooting on point See he kills it with a cannon Imagine dragging my feet

Never putting out this album Kyle gave up on his dream Yeah I

was right to doubt him Criticize me from the bleachers I

should've been a teacher That wasn't my niche I'm just a different kind of creature

Hip hop is my habitat I'm home in that studio Feel like everyone

is watching me Like the Truman Show Travel with my producer You could

say we're roaming It's like I

went to LA Found a young Dre Then I

cloned him Used to go by K

Lo So why the name switch Because Larry is that stamp of excellence I

came with Hey Kyle Remember the day we met I

remember sitting on the lawn behind our dorm building One of the very

first weeks of school To watch a talent show put on for the freshmen A lot of students

Verse 5

came up To sing to dance tell jokes All of them were pretty

decent But then this kid gets up there Who announces he's going to rap for us

I'll admit I was a little skeptical But this kid

he just confidently Squares his shoulders Turns his hat backwards You remember And the track

starts blasting And I think my mouth just fell open It was insane it was

powerful And then I started actually absorbing the lyrics And I

realized This is about God The lyric you were repeating over and over

again In the chorus was I've got life And the crazy thing was I

could tell that it was true Something about you Something about the way

You were speaking those words I

could tell that this was the truth to you It was true about

you I think everyone could feel it that night Everyone was impressed It was so powerful And I

said I've got to meet this kid Kyle I

want you to know That wherever you go I'm behind you 100

As a person As my friend As an artist Since that day I

first saw you perform I

Verse 6

have seen first hand That you're not in this To have your name

up in lights You're here to tell this story This messy Drawn out

Heartbreaking Hope filled I've got life story In hopes that it somehow speaks to someone

Lifts them up Encourages just one person We always say If just one

person is impacted Then you've accomplished your mission You finding life You sharing your life

That's all it takes To make the biggest difference I'm so proud of you
