Zero Gravity

by Jahshua Smith

on Zero Gravity (feat. PhourTheLove) (2016)

[Hook: Phour
TheLove]

If I ruled the world (the world, the world)
I'm just saying the world would be (would be, would be)
A place with no gravity, and we'll fly (and we'll fly)
And we'll fly (and we'll fly)
Faster than the speed of sound (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Faster than the speed of sound (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Feet would never touch the ground (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Can't nothing hold you down (down, down, down)

[Verse 1: Jahshua Smith]

Everybody put your hands in the sky, reach as high as you can, then reach higher
Reach limits they can't see, throw your hands up high, establish your empire
See the truth is, I was stuck, then discovered where my roof is
Then emerged out my spaceship, heaven on my left side, creeping out the jungle where the tecs fly
Gravitational pull on my shoe strings, lead to mood swings
Then the mood ring changes to blue when the moon sings, we lift off into new things, see our true dreams
Stuck by the anchors, the ankles, feel the weight pile up and we sank in
We can't swim, with our heads to sky thinking "why are caged in?"
Nowadays kids centered on chains, whips, 'cause classrooms are like modern day slave ships (slave ships)
Just packed with the brothers we was raised with, and get broke down learning the same shit
We all descendants of kings and princes, but textbooks they never tell you that
But you can roll around, where the poverty is found, find a dealer on the block that'll sell you crack (Pandemic!)
And niggas criticize that we don't talk about cash
I never gave a fuck about it, 'cause I never really got it, and the money that you spend don't last
Here's for my niggas on a tier, going through the library trying to be the next Malcolm Shabazz, we sky high
Levitate on the beat, and we floating every time we ride by (ride by)

If I ruled the world (the world, the world)
I'm just saying the world would be (would be, would be)
A place with no gravity, and we'll fly (and we'll fly)
And we'll fly (And we'll fly)
Faster than the speed of sound (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Faster than the speed of sound (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Feet would never touch the ground (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Can't nothing hold you down (down, down, down)

[Verse 2: Jahshua Smith]

Time passes, life flashes, see the walls up, we won't pass them
We want freedom, but stay passive, God save us, won't ask him
And I'm just another black kid caught up in the system, trying to fight the odds that's against him
We ain't scared, but the teachers don't care, or tell the kids 'aim for the fences'
Maybe we was Mae Jemisons and Hensons, criticized 'cause we never paid attention
Talking heads and they go on, I'm feeling like The Floaters trying to float on and get it out my system
I remember Ms. Yee's class, had to be about the sixth grade
Right around the time that my kids starting sticking kids up with a Sig and a switchblade
Duck shots when the block let off clips, *pop pop* and and we all blitzed
No cops in the hood, the politicians all sick, set shop like they all pimps
Down the road where they popped Bis', 45 with the Glock grips, outer space ain't an option
So obnoxious, on the way the school cleaning blood stains off my cockpit
Space shuttles equipped to save you and me, gravitational pull be like truancy
'Cause I'm headed to class, at light speed when I dash, interstellar dimensions I write fluently
They ain't build a detention to set back where I rep at, off the ground in my jet pack, we sky high
I see souls when I see sol, 'cause we shine bright, kiss the sun as we ride by

If I ruled the world (the world, the world)
I'm just saying the world would be (would be, would be)
A place with no gravity, and we'll fly (and we'll fly)
And we'll fly (and we'll fly)
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than the speed of sound
Feet would never touch the ground
Can't nothing hold you down (down, down, down)
