"Didn't you use to wonder? Didn't you use to dream?..."

"Sendin' these paper planes to the kid inside of you"

This song is about the dreams and maybe questions we all used to have as little kids. My way of trying to remind you of them, over a thick beat.

lyrics

Chorus:

Paper Planes
Soarin' down from the clouds
Make it rain
Power upon the people
Cus' paper reigns
The castles are made of clouds
They lockin down
Their Power over the people

We be the people
We be the people
Ain't we the people
-Where the power should be at?
But we want money
We all want money
Tell me where
7 billion people's minds at?

Hey
If you want more money say Heyyy
If you want more money say Heyyy
If you want more money say Heyyy
Hey

My dad said: it's a lie
Slavery ain't abolished
Thing is - in our times
Shackles are more polished
A lot of things changed
Since the Hail Caesar days
But it's still divide and reign
Big Macs and Games
Now I don't care if it's Illuminati
Or just naughty rich kids who grew up
And were taught to play God
Whoever you wanna blame
For this lame pyramid game
It's bout to change
Now I'm wondrin' how
We gon' play

This-

- song ain't for you
Who really like the way it is
Don't change a damn thing
Won't change a damn thing

But if you feel me, trust me
I'm not telling you the truth
Just tryin' to remind you
The little kid inside you

Chorus

Go ahead, call me a little kid,
Yeah, you tryin' to insult me
But I take it as a compliment
Cus' kids got a talent for
Asking the right "'why's"
The ones this fast life would like that
We pass by
Why are things like this?
Why are kids dying?
Why can't we change it?
Why ain't we tryin?
Questions we forget
When we out nine-to-fivin'
Or in our traffic jams,
All pretendin' that we drivin'
People tell me this:
Yeah, maybe you're right man
(but) what can one man do?
What is One Man's might?
Well if so many agree, that
Yeah, "It ain't right"
I'm sendin' these paper planes
So to help us to take flight

Chorus

Didn't you use to wonder?
Didn't you use to dream?
Before you wanted to fit in?
Before you were a teen?

So I'm sendin' these paper planes
To the kid inside you
Remember to dream, and
To thine own self be true
