RIP to my homie! 😶‍🌫

I litterally had to pause after hearing the piano in the opening. This song is one of a kind.

Don’t mourn me when I’m gone celebrate my travels 🗣️

May the Chinese seek a trade, for the sake of evolution 🧬

Music like this really makes me appreciate the time we have here, RIP steelo, long live Pro Era.

Best music out here

I admit it, I admit it.....

🔥🇧🇷

R Kelly sampling this is crazy😭

I remember being seventeen and going on a school trip to Germany (from Belgium) and this album just dropped. I played it over and over on the bus ride and this song in particular , shit hit different back then and still does. Kind of forget it existed because time goes on and on and on….

ngl i used to be on joeys ass about the king capital stuff but he really opened my mind with the 2000 album, the words he spoke about the people he loves and lost long live capital steez

I remember buying this album, I was a senior in high school, good times.

Sample song?

Jewels of hip hop rite here

before the dollar will always be a lifetime album on my playlist

Anyone still listening to this w song?

Lyrics [Intro: Joey Bada$$] Yeah, momma I just booked a first-class ticket To my destiny, by the way, yeah [Refrain: Maverick Sabre] Maybe I'm a fly away Maybe I'm a fly away, some day [Verse 1: Joey Bada$$] Yeah, so gullible just like my first love Stay humble, but I knew that I was first up Picked up the pen, and that's when I drew my first blood Spill my heart again, 'cause the pain'll never end Happiness is temporary, always has been I just lost one, but sometimes, I win I always spread love, but sometimes I sin I only trust some, that’s why I keep a few friends Funny cause I used to see my circle never end Always kept like 47 friends in my circumference All that’s left now is the radius They still here, trying to find love on this atmosphere Things get severe for everybody, everywhere This is my moment of truth, right here Swear I ain’t scared of no man, I see the omens I pick 'em up and keep it rolling The omnipresence is omnipotent But I keep going, till it’s all said and done I show all my soul purpose, but I’m pretty sure there's one There’s a reason why I’ve come, new season's just begun This the death of a psychopomp but a birth of God's son [Chorus: Joey Bada$$] So don’t mourn me when I’m gone, celebrate my travels Whenever you need me, just take a plane to the astral zones I’m headed home, I’ve been hurting too long Time don’t stand still, so you gotta move on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, yeah [Verse 2: Joey Bada$$] I had a dream I seen my name on the gravel stone And read: "Here lies a G," followed by a poem (Oh, oh) I couldn't see the words but I'm sure what's in his own Funny that I write most when I know my feeling wrong Went with both shoulders that my head is always on I charged through harm's way, carried boulders on my arms (My arms) I feel strong as I walk through the many storms (Many storms) That rain on my parade, seen the doves cry for days I'm feeling like a young prince, I'm drinking today My name ring bells all the way to heaven's gates Though Steezy told about me, yo, I know he always watching I guess there really is a heaven for us hip-hoppers I really miss my partner But I know he with Big Poppa, 2Pacs, and a big L, rolled proper And that's a big pun Know that I'm a join him when my time come But the story just begun [Chorus: Joey Bada$$] So don’t mourn me when I’m gone, celebrate my travels Whenever you need me, just take a plane to the astral zones I’m headed home, I’ve been hurting too long Time don’t stand still, so you gotta move on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, yeah [Refrain: Maverick Sabre] One day, I'm a fly away One day, I'm a fly away (Fly away, fly away) One day, you will fly away (Fly away, fly away) One day, we will fly away (Fly away, fly away) [Verse 3: Dyemond Lewis] Let's just go... My clouds gray, I hope my pain don’t show (No) Looking in the sky I wonder where them rainbows go (Oh) They say that if we reign, them pot-of-gold’s will show (Show) Even skating down the block don’t feel the same no more (No more) If I ain’t looking, I still see it all My vision’s jaded, too much bitches rubbed the crystal balls They stay scheming, y’all like the sheep to the shepherd The trees to the leaves, you needed but not needed (Mm, mm) So I work alone, lone wolf, stay creeping I'd rather hunt on my own then be owned and not eating I’m not eating, not blaming, I’m just saying Go to bed with hunger pains while these other niggas caking They too fake No rappers rapping for years waiting 'round for that big break Break a arm, break a bond before I go break the bank Break a hundred, that's fifty-fifty Long as Rawle and Whitney seen different cities, different titties All with no money with me I'm on my grind, man, no regrets when I die, man Till we fly, man, 'til we fly, man, 'til we fly, man You gon' miss us when we fly, man [Chorus: Joey Bada$$] So don’t mourn me when I’m gone, celebrate my travels Whenever you need me, just take a plane to the astral zones I’m headed home, I’ve been hurting too long Time don’t stand still, so you gotta move on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, and on and on, and on and on And on, yeah [Refrain: Maverick Sabre] One day, I'm a fly away One day, I'm a fly away (Fly away, fly away) One day, you will fly away (Fly away, fly away) One day, we will fly away (Fly away, fly away)
