King Kofi - Walter Mitty

Water Mitty
Let me just fly my plane
Let me just fly my plane
Water Mitty
Let me just fly my plane
Let me just fly my plane

I just flew a thousand miles
I dreamt of this moment ever since I was a child
We used to be at Camden Road we only moved house once
We used to have swans on the bathroom tiles
Guess it was meant to be
Guess I blossomed in the summer
And when I daydream
I ain't dreaming 'bout a hummer
I'm dreaming there's a better future out there for my brothers
Believe they tried to kick my younger brother out of college
It's like they don't care it's like they want us in the gutter
I'm still that skinny kid with a lisp and stutter
It's just less clear 'cause I got less fear
Remembering the nights when I would dry my left tear
Nothing but my mothers shoulder she said you can rest here
I'm from the ghetto bitch you're a guest here
I've outgrown the pack I had to leave the rest here
'Cause their sucking out our dreams until theirs nothing left here
But I'm coming back don't worry

Water Mitty
Let me just fly my plane
Let me just fly my plane
Water Mitty
Let me just fly my plane
Let me just fly my plane

I'm a daydreamer, modern day Da Vinci
I said that we were close now we're so close we're inches
Away from what we dreamed about when we were in the trenches
We used to skip lesson and we used to climb the fences
I had the brown trench coat I thought I was the shit then
I use my iPhone I barely ever use an ink-pen
I guess times have changed now
And plus I'm deranged now
Been staring so long that I think I missed my train now
All I got I dreams just to get me through the pain now
My old friends are good but they don't fuck with me the same now
I had a clear vision but the mist is in the way now
And I had some inner demons guess I let them out to play now
I was an angry child I'm not any less tame now
I need to find a way out
Stop asking me for favors
I'm on the right track so I really can't complain now
Just wish they would stop judging and just let me fly my plain now
Just let me fly my plane

Water Mitty
Let me just fly my plane
Let me just fly my plane
Water Mitty
Let me just fly my plane
Let me just fly my plane

Yeah, made it through the summer it's a miracle
I can do anything I wanna do
Put my mind to it then I do it though
Ain't really nothing much to it though
I've been in the studio I've been day dreaming
Walter Mitty
We could have been anything we wanted bu we're the very best at being bad at it
We just stay focused keep our mind at it
We've been in the kitchen in the grind attic
We've been making hits on the low
Walter Mitty

They know I've been scheming
My new girl she badder than Walter White
Damn Walter Mitty
Mum saying "Ben where you been?"
I told you take your food out the sink
Walter Mitty
Church said I'm living in sin
They ain't seen me they know I need Jesus, yeah
They take money from dreamers who stare in the distance but they don't believe in us

They wanna kick us out the city
This shit isn't for us
They wanna kick us out the city
This shit isn't for us
They wanna kick us out the city
This shit isn't for us
They wanna kick us out the city
This shit isn't for us
They wanna kick us out the city
This shit isn't for us
