[Intro]
Dm Am C C
Dm Am
I'm off of the Earth
C
On a ride, alone
[Verse 1]
Dm
Lift off like Virgin Galactic
Am
My Richard's too Branson to fuck with you bastards
C
Very legendary, that's some matter-of-fact shit
C
You're the opposite of stars like "rats" spelled backwards
Dm
I flow poems out to Saturn and passed it
Am
Easy as a standard anti-gravity backflip
C
Satellite tracking can't map out my tactics
C
I spit the same shit they split an atom in half with
Dm
No, it's not what I want but it had to be
Am
I spent six months just recharging my battery
C
Imagine me quitting, what a travesty that would be
C
You space shuttle Challengers are nothing but tragedies
Dm
So take care on the path that you're headed
Am
I'm the father to your style, don't you ever forget it
C
I don't drop mikes, only let it smoke where I set it
C
And I don't play, even when they press it, get it?
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I'm off of the Earth
C
On a ride, alone
Dm Am
I'm drifting away
C
Out of time, afloat
Dm Am
Away from the truth
C
Away from the night, away from the day
Dm Am
I'm off of the Earth
C
On a ride, alone
[Verse 2]
Dm
Please brace for impact
Am
Must've went to space and got sent back
C
But I'm still intact, in fact, take a picture of me
C
You can see that I'm a star with your lens cracked, Supernova
Dm
In Caesar's Palace, stuntin' on my opponents
Am
'Cause history'll show we done been to war like Romans
C
Did that dance with the devil, Hell hot as a kettle
C
So it's no wonder why I put this ice on all of my metal
Dm
And wear that shit like a medal, used to think I was a joker
Am
No Jared Leto when I said I'd get us out the ghetto
C
Slam my foot on the pedal
C
Book a studio when I couldn't afford instrumentals, Fuck it, record acapella
Dm
Flyin' coach, dreaming Coachella until they banned me
Am
Now they like Bambi's mother - dead -
Am
I'm on to these Grammys
C
I'm rollin' these grams gladly, purple and green like Daphne
C
Shades on like Velma, hair long like Shaggy
Dm
Crushin' addys in my water, got my voice raspy
Am
Haven't slept since California and that shit was last week
C
Paranoid when I sleep, but when I'm high, I'm happy
C
That's why I need to kiss the sky when I get stuck in the valley
Dm
Lift off
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I'm off of the Earth
C
On a ride, alone
Dm Am
I'm drifting away
C
Out of time, afloat
Dm Am
Away from the truth
C
Away from the night, away from the day
Dm Am
I'm off of the Earth
C
On a ride, alone
