Nujabes Ft. Cise Starr & Akin (from CYNE) Feather Lyrics

Light as a feather when I'm floating through
reading through the daily news
measuring the hurt within the golden rule
centimeters in ether I'm heating the speaker
Motivational teacher with words that burn people

Seeing the headlines lined with discord and
see the genocide or the planet in uproar
Never good
The rules of paradise are never nice
The best laid plans of mice and men are never right
I'm just a vagabond with flowers for Algernon
The average joe who knows what the f___ is going on
Its the hope of my thoughts that I travel upon
Fly like an arrow of god until I'm gone

Drifting away like a feather in air
letting words take me away from the hurt of this mess
So I'm keeping the vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to the something that is greater

So I'm drifting away like a feather in air
letting my soul take me away from the hurt and dispair
So I'm keeping the vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to the something that's greater

Taking chances, we're tap dancing with wolves
in an ice arena out there deep in the woods
of Arizona. And some be -ah
Lifes ironic ain't it trying to be Dalí when I rice in real life
I paint it vivid, habitat, crazy insane
Watching propaganda 6 o'clock news and
insane coaches clash, war, black folk and white trash
then rebel in the sniper's base that might crash
Dash to millennium and million miles of running
at the speed of now but I don't return gunning
Rambo style gung ho child gunning
ammo, *Blaow*, two times loud stunning
Stunning - When it hit ya, lift ya right off the earth
like, hey yo, take ya back right to birth - and
n____s wonder why. They might wonder why this s___ might happen, but it does.

They go

Drifting away like a feather in air
letting words take me away from the hurt of this mess
So I'm keeping the vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to the something that is greater

So I'm drifting away like a feather in air
letting my soul take me away from the hurt and dispair
So I'm keeping the vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to the something that's greater

Treat you better than me cause that's the heavenly key
to unlock the inner strength where my essence will be.
It's the knowledge of self understanding of the things around me that becomes the wisdom that I need.
Living this life to the best of my ability
Channeling energy to my thoughts until you see my dream.
Remember me because my pros remain gold
I got the gift to gab like this pimps in cangols(???)
It never ends, I keep it rolling it like a cypher.
The first cave man bringing fire.
Innovating it higher
to blast mistakes I raise the stakes
It's double or nothing in this vacuum s___e
I will survive the avant of time, the cryer, the f___er, who the hide
I'm alive for pride and
I drove the Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Singing this will be the day that I die.
