[Chorus: Mos Def]
Fly to the sky, and live your life
Oh, would you want to die?
What do you get from me? Oh-oh

[Verse 1: 2-D]
You say it's not too late
You say you’re sorry for anything that you did
Now you're a star in your own right
You make me feel like I've seen you fifty years
’Cause we're not the same
I think the same thing now
I want love, baby, that washes me
If you want to make life easier, don't worry about the stuff
Life was easy, baby, for all those stupid lies
Baby I would put an end to all those lies
Life was easy for me, baby
Life was simple for me, baby

[Chorus: Mos Def]
Fly to the sky, and live your life
Oh, would you want to die?
What do you get from me? Oh-oh

[Verse 2: 2-D]
Until you're ready to take my place
I couldn't be further from my truth
Inside my heart, inside my soul
'Cause I don't wanna rock 'n’ roll
When you ain’t givin' that edge
You got to hold on, got to get over you
Because I don’t wanna rock, I don't wanna rock 'n' roll
Oh, baby, it’s okay to freak so much
You see me through, yes you do
As we're kissing on a sad bed
As we make up and dance
We don't live on the film screen
I watched you while I sleep
I watched you laugh while I sleep
As I write this book
[Chorus: Mos Def]
Fly to the sky, and live your life
Oh, would you want to die?
What do you get from me? Oh-oh

[Verse 3: 2-D]
I know what you want and who you are
I know what you think and who you're hurting
I know what you want and who you're hurting
You'll get your happy dance from me baby
I will play the part so hard it gets bought
I'll out come your life, I'll out say you're not mine
And I can tell you that I'm mine if you're not the one

[Chorus: Mos Def]
Fly to the sky, and live your life
Oh, would you want to die?
What do you get from me? Oh-oh
