[Hook: Ursa Major] I don't belong here See the stars and i feel alone There's no space for me I only fit in when I'm far from home [Verse 1: Ursa Major] Never been afraid of heights Never been afraid of life Never been one to really back down I always been the one to try Writin' bars like I'm trekkin' stars 20/20 seeing far beyond Phone off, no roaming charge I'm naming stars as we pass 'em by Young Picard, I command my art Off of love, we gon' rise above Got dreams, come aboard/ No passports when we go abroad What's the future hold, yo we passin' go/ I ain't slowin' down, never failed before What we got in store, I just need to know Need to see for me, i just need to know!

All quiet; floatin' out Lookin' up, just me and God Like "yo, do you ever just look in awe?" Far from race, far from war We only worry bout where we goin' We not flukes, we feel chosen We like Luke, we the new hope If I'd a stopped when I heard a no Then who's music would you be quoting? Im stargazing, roof open Headed out, just not home Far from home, far from home 2x [Bridge] Burned a bridge just to build a legacy Been gone, you never checked for me Got fake friends, but no enemies This must be what dad was tellin' me More out here there than your front door And what you saved on your DVR I see more, i gotta know Explore it all, just to say i saw

[Hook] I'm the best, I'm the best, I never promised you less Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end With the best, I'm the best, you never expected less Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge (2x) [Verse 3: Ursa Major] Its the blind leading the blind, I wanna be the Mos Def So I stopped working on the writing just to learn some ASL Praying to a savior who prays you save your self Fendin' off some vicious predators who preying on my flesh Where the wild things are, thats where my childhood went Put that sword back in the stone, stay a kid young link And there ain't no ocarina, to pacify my demeanor Why are standards so diminished for ebony entertainers You make me sign a contract, pretend you do me a favor? You can never own my thoughts, Ursa never sign a major! If you chase the paper, you on trails already paved And if you only know what they teach you, you'll never be a maven There ain't no safe haven, you dead if you don't progress Its not enough when I say it, but I know that I'm the best Im the best (I know, I know) Man tell 'em that I'm the best [Hook] I'm the best, I'm the best, I never promised you less Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end With the best, I'm the best, you never expected less Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge (2x)

[Chorus] I got my bags packed, got my flight plans My feet up like I'm doin' handstands/ There's one thing I need: Somebody show me my window seat Window seat, window seat Somebody show me my window seat seat/ Window seat, window seat Somebody show me my window seat [Verse 1] They ask me how I'm different, I say the same things Kept awake most nights by all of my dreams I don't want fame, i just wanna get paid For saying what you thinkin' if you on the same plane Paved my own lane, then I made my own runway Calling all the people who pushed their dreams to some day Yeah... that's you, so, holla if you hear me My light stay beaming like Any Given Sunday The view from the clouds be erasing all doubts They tell me I'm a fail but i can't see how Headphones on, i control my own sound Forehead to the window, curtains never pulled down Aisle seats avoided, if i can afford it Breathe held, watching skylines, we approaching Nothin' more dope than reaching for your moment Don't want much, one thing I always wanted: [Chorus] I got my bags packed, got my flight plans My feet up like I'm doin' handstands/ There's one thing I need: Somebody show me my window seat Window seat, window seat Somebody show me my window seat seat/ Window seat, window seat Somebody show me my window seat [Verse 2] Its not about the landing, passports stamping I do it cuz there's cultures that I need to understand Its weird having borders put up by grown men And how its all irrelevant when coastin' in the air I don't take for granted what I know they all desire Got friends who can't fly cuz their visas are expired Keep it on the quiet, big brother is eyin' But there ain't no tolls on this small road to Zion I am, as mortal as the next man If this plane crashes, well I guess that's it then Amen, been said my prayers Its cold up here, glad i packed a couple layers If i disappear, hope my luggage never float up Yeah i want first class, that’s where they keep the strong stuff But for now i won’t budge, right here is where i should be With my plans and my dreams and my window seat [Chorus] I got my bags packed, got my flight plans My feet up like I'm doin' handstands/ There's one thing I need: Somebody show me my window seat Window seat, window seat Somebody show me my window seat seat/ Window seat, window seat Somebody show me my window seat

[Hook] Nothing really changed round here I tried to stay the same round here We been lookin' up to the stars (right?) We the real stars round here [Verse 1] Learn for yourself, don't trust what they discussin' Like: I had to read to learn Uncle Tom wasn't 2nd grade portrait, black was the wrong color Art teacher turned her eyes, guess the truth was too awkward Swore I was the man for at least two summers Invites to bat mitzvahs, yarmulkes made custom A titans I clashed cultures, coming of age wondrous Black girls I wanted fronted, seen these white girl numbers On my phone, Same as mike, who we buried before diplomas Oscar nominees, learned to smile while we was hurtin' Earning superlatives while dad was at the corner Like a boxer, not a dealer dealing with round 2 of lymphoma Is it over, is it over? Too faded to watch the fight Catchin Sportscenter highlights after living my nights I guess it must why I like Simba and Batman We was all kids prepping for life without dad [Hook] Nothing really changed round here I tried to stay the same round here We been lookin' up to the stars (right?) We the real stars round here [Verse 2] V2 (It be like) Star light, star bright The first star I see tonight I wish I may, I wish I might! Have the wish I wish tonight Let me see some stars tonight, make sure that my bars are tight Make sure that my flow is finer than the china I can't buy Who knows, maybe I'll get signed Pay for my studio time Ghost write for my favorite artists, trust me homie I won't mind Cuz Im sick, and I'm tired, wanna start before retiring I got bars, I be rhyming, switch it up like Dennis Rodman Took my first steps out in gotham Nobody wants to be Robin By myself, one man mob Ton of thorns like billy bob Looking up I see the stars, but these days they just seem so far For a... Son of a foreigner Who was the seed of a farmer Peaceful guy, wouldn't harm a Fly, but these times are harder Scar tissue forming that i can't runaway from Never been a liar, been too honest from my day one Scared to be a father cuz i wasn't such a great son [Hook] Nothing really changed round here I tried to stay the same round here We been lookin' up to the stars (right?) We the real stars round here [Verse 2] V3 Tell me bout the stars you seein' from city buildings When every dream is billed, and all you see are your limits Me and my affiliates we came to a consensus We ain't like the safe route, we do it a lil different You doin' this for riches or doin it for the women? I need to know your motives before we gettin' to business Cuz the weak fold like cards when doubts get in their crevice Cuz I'm not wasting bars on drinkers who don't know limits Im all about my lyrics, you know it by what I'm spitting Im sinning in every step but I'm movin' towards redemption This isn't my best, but snippets of whats to come Too smart for my own good, wishin' that i was dumb Nas album is done, he told me start a label I did it with all my brothers, my middle name is Abel So far from stable, they thinkin' I'd be embarrassed Why you always lookin' up? Cuz I'm lookin' for Polaris [Outro] They ask me how I'm doin, "surviving" is my recent answer/ I got a college degree and dad's got cancer/ You see, something always stops you when you couldn't get happier So all things considered, my recent answer is a decent answer Surviving... Death coming quick, so I'm trying to live faster Lookin' at my past, remindin' myself I'm past it Heart on my sleeve, hope that still in fashion Cuz I have no time to change, and nothing else to match it No rest for the weary And everyone's aware what the other person's wearing It seems clear my seams ain't Milan or Paris/ But based on my apparel, my nonchalance is apparent These days, I fear becoming my own parents Growing up's an art, one that I've already mastered There's pain in my paintbrush there's passion in my pastels Didn't invent honesty, but i got the patents Far from superficial but, tell me where the cash is Cuz right now I'm so po(or), call me kung fu panda
