about
Fly is the fist release of 2023 from Vice beats, the Bristol based producer whose production run continues to grow in heavyweight collaborations, from his 2020 official J Dilla tribute to his recent production features including Dizzy Dustin of Ugly Duckling and Akil Tha MC of Jurassic 5. His music is constantly aiming to build international connections, and “Fly” is no exception.
Featuring the vocal talents of the Amsterdam based instrumentalist, singer and MC Gregg Green, Fly takes you on a journey, a chance to reflect, and take stock, whilst reminiscing of childhood and simpler times. With the super talented Alita Moses on the chorus, and a backdrop of delayed horns and soulful keys, Fly is a great way to kick of a busy year of Hip Hop in a smooth way!
lyrics
Alita Moses and Gregg Green, splitting the Vice Beats like the Red Sea
Steppin out my building, Puma's to the pavement
gazin' at the sky in amazement of birds flying by
building nests in the heart of the city
makin the gritty look pretty got me feeling less shitty
moma always told me beauty can be found in the littlest things
like doing unfamiliar things, the experience can bring about
The Confidence Of Innocence, I Think On These Things:
The Wholeness Of Life and Self Discipline
there are things in this world that i do not know
places i would one day like to go
eversince the birth of earth people searched for somewhere to belong
I find my purpose of being inside song
close my eyes to be one with the creator
the one I call my maker
the one forever greater
the giver and the taker of the gift of life
the power of the moment
the here and now the place for us to grow in
If I could fly
where would i go?
I would fly past the black holes of empty souls staring
ascend from this place to a state of grace and caring
gone without a trace, split the winds like a Cannonball
put my headphones on and Walk Tall
get lost in song Mercy Mercy Mercy
spend some time up in heaven with my moma and my bredren
gone too soon, only made it to noon
if I could fly I would fly to the moon
remeniscing on memories hoping for better days
from my home life love strayed, hate stayed
I escaped the fights took the late night flights
on the wings of Bird, ya heard?! Round Midnight
transferred to the Train and vibed for Miles
in meditation like Monk, God Bless The Child
in each and every one, vibe free and majestic
treat your Day like a Lady, bless and caress it
