Airplanes - B.o.B Ft. Hayley Williams (paramore) (cover)

MIXTAPE LINK - http://seanrumsey.bandcamp.com/

Me and Provokal enjoyed doing this one...We both wrote new verses for it and then recorded us performing our main takes (it took around 5 takes to get right!) After recording the main takes i laid down some harmonies and backing vocals and Provokal did some backing vocals too!

Lyrics - (Chorus Lyrics Adapted by Travis Garland)

I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
too go to a place much simpler then this
where i would fly high, but we will fly higher
then i will fulfil my one desire

where theres peace, beauty and love
we will feel the soul of the world rise uppp
picture this seldomly held back by gravity
that's my ideology; now heres reality

workin my way through these dead end jobs
startin to sink as the bills pile up
cant support my family
in a year don't know where we'll be

ive felt enough strain let me be
it's time the future gets better for me
put me on a airplane too wash my pain away

----HOOK:

Can we pretend that airplanes
in the night sky are like shooting stars
i could really use a wish right now
wish right now, wish right now

im prayin that
this stairway
leads somewhere like heavens doors
when ya get there
dont look down
dont look down
dont look down

----VERSE 2:

i'm seein all these dreams but there hard to manifest
the industries to crowded for another lyricist
still.. i be trying to make a living out of this
but its hard to be the shark when your swimmin with the fish

an the labels love you when your gettin hits
but youtube only play you if your wack or humorous
i aint neither of them;
cant see me bein them;
so its a struggle everyday for you to listen to my shit

fans that i got are so proud
word of mouth
aint something they'd want, they'd rather keep me to them self
an i'm greatful for that;
but the times come
where i have to move on; beside the greatest of acts

i didnt dedicate my life an my craft
to stand dormant an watch all my verses catch dust
i visioned myself bein sorta important but
i'm still struggling; while he got the formula
(wiley / "take that"; "I got the formula")
