[Intro]
[Alonzo Mori]
Hey, wassup bruh?

[Kondilla]
Yo Mori, wassup man?

[Alonzo Mori]
How you doin’ man? How’s life treatin’ ya?

[Kondilla]
Yeah, same old thing man. Tokyo, tryna get this paper, tryna get this cream, man

[Alonzo Mori]
Right on man, I feel it, I feel it
Shoot man, how you been livin’ man? You been in Tokyo for a while, right?

[Kondilla]
Yeah I been here for a minute, man
To be honest, not everything’s gone my way but
You know what man? Let me tell you som’n...

[Verse 1: Kondilla]
Let me tell you ‘bout my life in Japan
I came here with a vision but it didn’t go to plan
I’m writin’ this story in my new territory
And now I’m on the other side rappin’ with Mori
It all started when I left my hometown
I came with my twin and my girl and she was down
I felt like a king, I had on a crown
But to her I was a jester, she went and left this clown
From there, every day was he say she say
It made every day just feel like D-Day
I was hurtin’, somethin’ was missin’ internally
I started flirtin’, will it be like this eternally?
Then, I had to look within myself
Cryin’ ‘bout the past ain’t good for my health
I had to figure it out, I had to move forward
I’m on the right route, right now is just my foreword
[Chorus 1: Alonzo Mori]
(Yeah) And as the clouds go by
I feel like a feather flying high in the sky
(Yeah) And as the clouds go by
I feel like a feather flying high in the sky

[Verse 2: Kondilla]
(Yeah) And as I close my eyes
I had to realise “just look at the highs”
(Yeah) The Land of the Rising Sun
It was easier said than done to have fun
My face fucked up, half of it was paralysed
Listen to my words and the way that I shatter rhymes
My face and my life was in paralysis
My base was in trife and my heart was getting calluses
(Yeah) Rest in peace to grandad
Cancer just came around I can’t stand that
(Yeah) You know I gotcha in my prayers
I hope you’re chillin’ up with Nujabes
Lately my life has been going through high stress
Wish I coulda seen the bigger picture in high-res
And who’da guessed I’d get this test at 21
I digress I got long left ain’t plenty done
But now, every day is gettin’ better
Waking up each day and thankful for the weather
In my soul, my goal is now ablaze
Like 2Pac said, now I’m thinkin’ ‘bout better days
[Chorus 1: Alonzo Mori]
(Yeah) And as the clouds go by
I feel like a feather flying high in the sky
(Yeah) And as the clouds go by
I feel like a feather flying high in the sky

[Verse 3]
[Alonzo Mori]
Hey young Dan, tell me how have you been?
You got sent to the sin bin, when you gonna come in?

[Kondilla]
Hey, it’s all good man, I checked myself
I know I don’t need to hurry, but time is wealth

[Alonzo Mori]
Are you still on the IV? Man your flow is steady drippin’

[Kondilla]
These days I’m more lively, man back then I was just trippin’

[Alonzo Mori]
I’m also livin’ life holding my dreams and all my wishes

[Kondilla]
We’re flyin’ in the sky, no longer swimmin’ with the fishes
[Chorus 2: Alonzo Mori]
(Yeah) And now we’re flying away
Birds of a feather, can’t lead us astray
(Yeah) And now we’re flying away
Birds of a feather, can’t lead us astray
