[Verse 1: YOSHUA]
I been busy since the day I was born
What you asking about me for?
Cranes in the sky but my head buried deep in the ground
Ain't no use keeping me 'round
I swallowed my pride, though I wanted to hide
And I risked it all, I shot my shot
And this the fall when soul got lost
I got swept up in the world
I saw couple scrolls unfurl
I'm exhausted, working on reserves, no more energy
They got eyes in the hills of the Beverly
I thought that I had won
I took some L's and I won't front
Damn, son

[Verse 2: Solange + YOSHUA]
I tried to drink it away
I tried to put one in the air
I tried to dance it away
I tried to change it with my hair
Thought that maybe I could be fulfilled, so I
I ran my credit card bill up
Thought a new dress would make it better
I tried to work it away
But that just made me even sadder
I tried to keep myself busy
I ran around in circles
Think I made myself dizzy
I slept it away, I sexed it away
I read it away, away
[Refrain: Solange]
Away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away

[Chorus: Solange + YOSHUA]
But it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal

[Refrain: Solange]
Away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away

[Verse 2: YOSHUA]
Dream of being a crane in the sky
If they knock up on my door, I could fly
So far away, never come back
That's not today, gotta face facts
What, I can't run forever on these Nikes
Holes in the bottom, blisters on my feet
This Chanel ain't hold up well, I gotta take it off
Dior on, but the wind came, now it's gone
I was optimistic, but seeing how the night's went
Now I'm pessimistic, holding onto my ends
The clashes of cymbals fantastic, and
The kicks got me going like Midas, damn
Year been feeling like I'm close to the ceiling
'Bout to lift off, I get kicked off by the past again
I was feeling strong but that's passed again
Laying on my mattress hoping for better horizon
To come flash itself, good gracious
[Outro: YOSHUA]
In the promenade dancing by myself
Christmas and New Year's came and went
But I'll be cool 'cause I'm Josh, man
And God'll do just what I can't
