lyrics

Verse 1

Which way do i turn? Is it left, right or straight forward?
I'm looking for a sign i'm waiting and i'm waiting for it.
I see them planets spinning them same orbits
and see meteorites shower down like rain pouring
All these possibilities get me so excited
Like to drop a killer free get my flow ignited
Yeah 'cause life's a hell of a thrill
so we give thanks for these gifts and develop our skills
i'm kneeling penitent still asking for the benevolent will
of the almighty to help cover my general bills
When i get home to my woman i can't wait to grab her
and smother my baby mother in kisses to show her i love her
she brings refreshments grapes bananas
and sings me sweet melodies lalalalalala
have a little snooze then my daughter wakes her dada
and we laugh and giggle forget about them snakes and ladders

Chorus

We take a few steps forward sometimes we get kicked back
We take a few steps up and sometimes we slide down
I'm over all these snakes and ladders i've got my jet pack
I've got a birds eye view up in the bluest sky now

Verse 2

I'm on the edge of my seat in a state of anticipation
got my head and my feet and a vivid imagination
If my bredda brings beats then i'm bringing the animation
Life's an edible treat, mouth filling with salivation
Lets dance in the street, think it's time for a celebration
Come party with me it don't matter the generation
Got my jet pack wow now i'm all about elevation
Got my fam locked down man i'm all about dedication
Got something to tell a nation, never getting resignation
I'm floating off the ground with my powers of levitation
i'm showing off this sound,this sound is a meditation
We're all facing lots of trials and tribulations
Hearts in a state of shock, defibrillation
assimilation of too much negative vibration
Hearts in a state of shock, defibrillation
It's time for integration of that love vibration

Chorus

We take a few steps forward sometimes we get kicked back
We take a few steps up and sometimes we slide down
I'm over all these snakes and ladders i've got my jet pack
I've got a birds eye view up in the bluest sky now

Verse 3

Okay so this day to day don't define my vibe
sloggin my best hours away in this nine to five
i'm gonna make money from play yeah it's time to thrive
This inner spark's here to stay keep my shine alive
I sip a tea and flippantly flip a free
and leave the rest to synchronicity and serendipity
But sometimes it feels like someone's tripping me
and playing out there little wicked games of trickery
I get up and i laugh in the face of adversity
and always find that the great universe reimburses me
As i'm standing on the surface of this earth
I feel I'm certainly expanding with my purpose yeah i make it work for me
At times I feel like i've woken on the wrong side
Like a salmon swimming hard against these strong tides
I face the wind head on taking long strides
and try to give these words wings, make this song fly.

Chorus

We take a few steps forward sometimes we get kicked back
We take a few steps up and sometimes we slide down
I'm over all these snakes and ladders i've got my jet pack
I've got a birds eye view up in the bluest sky now
