"Headphones" lyrics
(feat. Nelly Furtado)
[Nelly Furtado:]
I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain (Uh!)
Can you help me, (Yeah!) to (uh-uh-uh) live with me, today
Today, today I wanna fly away (Uh!)
Today (Yeah!), today (uh-uh-uh) I wanna fly away
[Nelly:]
Wish that I could fly, fly away
Looking for a brighter day, a brighter day
Run away from yesterday, yesterday
And take all of my ghetto boys and girls with me
And, even if we don't know when we're in a race
And put a big smile on our mama face
F-Fly away, flying down the highway
Livin' in the moment, with my shawty right beside me
Touch the sky up, take it higher
Way up till we floating, we let everybody know
That we go make it righter, make it righter, oh yeah
Today !
[Nelly Furtado:]
I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think ( I don't wanna)
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me, today
Today, today I wanna fly away
Today, today I wanna fly away
[Nelly:]
(Let's go !)
I wish that I could hit the block, chillin' with the homies
Posted on the corner, with no cops checking on us
Take everybody that's with our houses and make a monastery
Health, care, I swear, I do it right now
Tell every boy that had a father at home
If I could I would make you my own
No single women should have to raise you alone
Gimme you're hand, yeah understand together we can
Touch the sky up, take it higher
Way up till we floating, we let everybody know
That we go make it righter, make it righter, oh yeah
Today !
[Nelly Furtado:]
I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think ( I don't wanna)
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me
Oh
And I'mma turn my headphone
Never turn his head hurt
I'm flying awa-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
I'm flying awa-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
They can't stop you (can't stop you no !)
They can't drop you (drop you down ! )
I'mma turn his headphones up and fly away !
[Nelly Furtado & Nelly:]
I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain (Uh!)
Can you help me, (Yeah!) to (uh-uh-uh) live with me, today
Today, today I wanna fly away (Uh!)
Today (Yeah!), today (uh-uh-uh) I wanna fly away
I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me
I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me
Today, today I wanna fly away
Today, today I wanna fly away
I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain (Uh!)
