lyrics

Verse:
Through the valley and up to your peaks
Feet curve on the Earth so it speaks now
Sit for a second and sit for minute and
Sit for an hour so you might see an image of
Those that are airborne air formed in the storm
Walking in the land of the gods: better pray hard
Better play the odds for time out of mind
There's been union in this paradise
Colonizer bind got us thinking twice: fuck a vice
Imma get lost in a birdsong
Let it steer me wrong—migration of a dream gone
Catch me with the dawn as it breaks with these 808’s
Jays start bouncin’ at just the right pace now
Grace is bond and it all belongs—we better catch on
Before we pass it on / it’s hard to stay calm
when you can’t right a wrong / When you can’t see beyond
So we cast it in a song

Chorus:
Get up and get higher
Get your wings gettin flyer
Get Up Get Up Get Up

Verse:
Yo—this life is wonderous / & this life is what you make it
but the Industry infinitely perpetuates the fake shiiit
Escape the matrix / we on some more-than-human shape shift
the mountains are alive: with the music that creates this
place as sacred playlist / what makes the booties shake with
a grace that never did betray the heart who loved her shameless
we wander on / we aimless / we leave with what we came with
believe that only you prevent the fires that could change us

Rrrrttititat—Now that’s where it’s at: guard a habitat with a rapid tap
Punch a hole through the back of this bark like a hole through the dark
Stacking bills, making marks with this art—keep it sharp
like the edge of wing tips as they kiss the sky—how high?!?
We keep it so fly with this battle cry – occupying air like the blade of a samurai
Katana folded tongue got it sprung reaching out from these lungs
Is it real son? Is it really real son? (Sample: Bring the Pain)—
Encoded in the bass drum You can hear the Earth hum
—that’s where we coming from
Gotta us strummin on the web of life with the edge of a knife
—Think twice
who's payin’ the price cuz it ain’t right (it ain’t right!)
So we take flight from the dawn into the night
Taking apart the pattern the pace —making a chart, a ladder to grace
Shapin’ up on the matter to face we interlaced through time and space

Chorus:
Get up and get higher
Get your wings gettin flyer
Get Up Get Up Get Up



Outro:
From the mountains we’ve been reaching to the edge of the day
All the dreams of our futures seem to pass away (melt away?)
taking wings into the wild we pray><prey for them to wake
we fade into the clouds while we wait for them to break (go high)
