Touchdown

Got my bags packed, and I'm on the train
 In pursuit of my dreams, leavin' behind the inhumane
 At a place where I'm no longer scared of change
 And a whole hearted effort I intend to bring
 And I can't peer back through the rear view
 Although I know I'll be missing my peer group
 'Cause where you go stays with you forever
 And I wish 'em all success in all their endeavors
 And though miles separate us, the connection's un-severed
 And I'll make it up to y'all for now I'm tryin' to do better
 Those who say I turned my back, I'm-a say whatever
 Unpopular to pursue your heart over chedda'
 But I've never been a follower, empty rhetoric swallower
 Pointer of revolvers or progress staller
 I'm a yes, yes yalla'; tryin' to stand taller
 As the world gets colder and life gets harder
 When I touch down
 Gotta have my feet movin' when I hit the ground
 Let the past be the past find a new crowd
 Try a new path it's a new sound
 When I touch down
 When I touch down
 Gotta let myself shine no matter who's around
 I'm-a get straight to work can't fool around
 And only then will I know who's down
 When I touch down
 Sometimes the hardest thing is sayin' bye
 Or fightin' that impulse to return when the pressure gets high
 Needin' that glimmer of hope during cloudy skies
 Or questioning my impulse when the account is dry
 I'd lie if I said I don't second guess
 But they say to spread your wing you've got to leave the nest
 Needless to say, I left the bay to be the best
 And if I remain unnoticed there'll still be no regrets
 Steer clear of the pessimist,
 I'm-a bust my ass off to make it look effortless
 And when it gets to much I make a call for two bucks,
 I'm in town lets do lunch, catch me up on the "who, what"
 Critique my new stuff, pure heat or poot butt
 Never lost the love but now that I'm gone there's renewed lust
 And no matter what our history will always be a part of us
 When I touch down
 When I touch down
 Gotta have my feet movin' when I hit the ground
 Let the past be the past find a new crowd
 Try a new path it's a new sound
 When I touch down
 When I touch down
 Gotta let myself shine no matter who's around
 I'm-a get straight to work can't fool around
 And only then will I know who's down
 When I touch down
