Midnight Flight to LDN Lyrics

Midnight flight to Heathrow, just said farewell to my people

Leaving on the D Low, I only told mi amigos

The world is ours, chico. I'm off to learn me some cheat codes

Then I'll be coming back with a bigger budget like sequels

Checking in at Chileka, don't worry I won't forsake ya

Loyalty is in our nature from genesis to omega

No mediocre capers we're destined for something greater

Winning chips on different coasts just like the Shaq and Kobe breakup

I spoke with my bro he said "You were born with a gift

But fulfilling your potential? You've been more than adrift

Who you are and who you could be creates a storm in the rift

You have to take on a mass more than you normally lift

And I've been coddled, so I have to go off

Though I love you all it's time to be my own boss

Getting filled with feelings I'm tempted to hold off

Seated on a full flight alone with my own thoughts

The courage to be real is what we are often lacking

You could be crucified but that is the cost of passion

Why do we fall, does fear tip you off your balance?

Or does fear give you the wings to make it across the chasm?

If ever you're anxious 'bout the options you're pursuing

Just remind yourself that obstacles are optical illusions

Nothing's stopping you from moving but the objects in your psyche

If you think you can or can't either prophecy is likely

Take a chance where you usually would choke

Adversity is opportunity for growth

Of course it takes time when you're not used to the approach

But that's expected like a student being broke

And that's no reason for leaving your faith in tatters

It's a process not easily doctored 'cause patience matters

Now the company you keep could either be snakes or ladders

With the roll of a dice some people could take you backwards

I know some folks that hope they can break my spirit

Dawg, I rap with the best and they're acting like they don't hear it

My words are rare earth and there's a gem in every lyric

Now I'm learning how to cut them my contemporaries fear it

I'm the illest, but I don't make the list for y'all critics

And yet I made the template that the rest of y'all mimic

You talk on who's the best as if the gist is authentic

When I ask you who can hang when I kick it's all crickets

Now that I've moved then I guess I'm off limits

They're worried I may sound a likkle more British

But I am neither fickle nor skittish

If anything the change will make my lyrics more vicious

I stay on my toes, knowing that I am that dude

When you're number one, everyone's coming at you

Any rapper with beef I'm turning you into ragú

Then I'll be hanging plaques on the wall that I had my back to

Cold air hits my face as I exit Terminal two

Taking over the game is what I'm determined to do

If you have a dispute, there lies the burden of proof

I let burn in the booth this is my furnace of truth

If you think I'm down and out, brother you must be bugging

If you call me underground I will tunnel through London

While I take you on a journey accompanied by the drumming

Have the whole city buzzing, don't miss that train, better jump in

It's relief as I perceive just what my life is becoming

Of all my greatest blessings I know my wife is among them

She took the scales from my eyes

Gave me sight and abundance

It's as sweet as our embrace at my arrival in London

What kinda luck is that? I know I landed an asset

She plays the role of a queen, I'm talking Angela Basset

So I repay her faith in me, what she granted was massive

I came off a little screwy, I used to tangle with ratchets

Best of luck to my brothers stuck in the streets

And all the former lovers I suffered sucking their teeth

What would you uproot for the fruit of your future missus?

Now that's food for thought, pay up or do the dishes
