Ryan Leslie - The Black Flag lyrics

rate me

Your red lights

ain't never slowing me down, oh no no

Uh yeah

My passion a reason of my existence

my success the product of my persistence

self-made, I did it with no assistance

luxury suit view through these Cartier lenses

huh, and we started in the nose bleeds

now my feet up on the weed in my own seats

court side and it's cheap bucks versus Knicks

watch my homie B Janice, drop 36

and that's a definition of, when pain meets love

and it turns the game, and you earn your name

then girl come, will you earn your fame?

get off me, I'm too hot, you can't burn a flame,

and my teacher told me, got my rap dreames whooped

I still pursuit even though I seem ridiculous

the taste of success bittersweet like licorice

I fly with the wings of Icarus

and when I achieve, I could turn with much satisfaction

to reply Michael Jackson was not..

so back to my..dreams of riches,

more money, more balls, more rings

hear me?

yet many believe in God, but they ain't religious

I'm suspicious, I believe in them digits.

I believe in them digits

So picture me above the sky

shine a brighter day, sunlight

I'ma find a name in the stars

so everybody knows who we are.

And I'ma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it,

before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about,

think about it

said I'ma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it,

before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about,

think about it

Yeah let the black flag fly uh

yeah, and it's a waste when this new money can't buy taste

bought their selves some Versace, mispronounce it Versace

it's my time, blow your mind like an ounce to the face

yeah I do believe in miracles, heaven is so empirical

you could see the way I climbed to the ladder

education, Ivy League, I'm talking mind over matter

and so called innovators is always asking for favors

then they take the credit for the fruit of your labor

but not me, I'm a beast that's JF Leccord Jeezy

not many can say you play keys with Eas E

or they had a couple girl on their knees you please me

I can't leave the game, not yet, it still needs me

Oh, so let the black flag fly

my vision of ascending the heights that rap can't buy

it's fully realize when I open my eyes and stop dreaming

I'm stuntin while your lames is scheming

kiss the ring, I got the gifts of a king

So picture me above the sky

shine a brighter day, sunlight

I'ma find a name in the stars

so everybody knows who we are.

And I'ma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it,

before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about,

think about it

said I'ma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it,

before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about,

think about it
