Cranes In The Sky Common (Ft. Solange)

[Verse 1: Common]
She seen pain in my eye
Men and women at work, cranes in the sky
We gon' keep building for our children's children
Doctors keep pilling, love is a drug then drugs can't heal 'em
But listen to Lauryn for the healing, peeling back layers
Pops used to hoop, I'm from a bloodline of players
Love and sunshine like Roy Ayers
Put your mind on the phone, I ain't coming back home
I felt the death of what it is to be alone
Everlasting love, money can't buy
Can't hide from the truth even when I pop the lock
Can't work it away, can't drink it away
Can't laugh it away, can't think it away
That pain come up on you like a thief in the day
Searching for the sun, I found my Issa Rae
Insecurity cold, imperial robes
I used to wear my heart open like Ethereal Rose
Now I'm carrying loads of baggage I don't claim
If she start tripping I'm hopping on the plane
Cranes in the sky, I know how the metal sound
I never settled in life so it's hard to settle down
Staying on my square trying not to get around
Hold my lady hostile, she could rebel down
Don't touch my hair, I'm baldheaded
Kept my love locked down like it was all dreaded
Wishing for wings again so I could spread it
But now it's in a plastic cup of false beverage
