[Intro] Your red lights Aint never slowing me down, oh no no [Verse 1 Ryan Leslie] Uh yea My passion the reason for my existence My success the product of my persistence Selfmade, I did it with no assistance Luxury suite view through these Cartier lenses Huh, and we started in the nose bleeds Now my feet up on the wood in my own seats Courtside and its cheap bucks versus Knicks Watch my homie B Jennings, drop 36 And thats 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, Im too hot, you cant burn a flame And my teacher told me, got my rap dreams 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 AngloSaxon So back to my dreams of riches More money, more balls, more rings Hear me? Yet many believe in God but they aint religious Im suspicious, I believe in them digits I believe in them digits [Hook] So picture me above the sky Shine a brighter day, sunlight Imma find a name in the stars So everybody knows who we are And Imma 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 Imma 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 [Verse 2 Ryan Leslie] Yea, let the black flag fly uh Yea, and its a waste when this new money cant buy taste Bought their selves some Versace, mispronounce it Vercese Its my time, blow your mind like an ounce to the face Yea I do believe in miracles, heaven is so empirical You could see the way I climbed up the ladder Education Ivy League, Im talkin mind over matter And so called innovators is always asking for favors Then they take the credit to the fruit of your labor But not me, Im a beast, ask Jay Elec and Jeezy Not many can say they play keys with Yeezy Or they had a couple girl on their knees to please me I cant leave the game, not yet, it still needs me Uh, so let the black flag fly My vision of ascending the heights that rap cant buy Its fully realize when I open my eyes and stop dreaming Im stuntin while you lames is scheming Kiss the ring, I got the gifts of a king [Hook] [Outro] Yea, let the black flag fly uh yea
