#MusicMonday - Tones And I

#MusicMonday is dedicated to Tones And I, featuring the debut album Welcome to the Madhouse. My favorite song so far is "Fly Away" because it is upbeat, fun, intriguing, powerful, and will take you on a ride. Put it on repeat, turn it up, and let it go for a few rounds, you'll find something new you like each time you listen. 


I had a dream that someday
I would just fly, fly away
And I always knew I couldn't stay
So I had a dream that I'd just fly away

I've been on my own for a minute
Is it only me out here
Searching for the place to begin it
Is it me? Is it you? Is it fear?
Standing on the line I was given
People stare and ask me why I'm here
No one seems to think that I fit in
But I don't wanna be like them

No, 'cause I don't wanna be like them
'Cause I know that I, know that I

I had a dream that someday
I would just fly, fly away
And I always knew I couldn't stay
So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away, oh
Oh-oh, woah, oh, I'd fly away

No one knew how low I was feeling
I was scared to reach it all
Knowing I was here for a reason
But I was scared that if I tried, I'd fall
So where do I go now I'm in it?
I never thought it'd be like this
Dreaming all my life and I did it
Thought the grass was greener than then it is

'Cause I had a dream that someday
I would just fly, fly away
And I always knew I couldn't stay
So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away, oh
Oh-oh, woah, oh, I'd fly away
Oh, woah, woah, oh I'd fly away

'Cause I had a dream that someday
I would just fly, fly away
And I always knew I couldn't stay
So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away, oh
Oh-oh, woah (fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away)

Woah, woah, woah (fy away, fly away, fly away)
I'd fly away

#MusicMonday - "Fly" by Nicki Minaj and Rihanna

#MusicMonday is dedicated to "Fly" by Nicki Minaj and Rihanna. A powerful song sung by two beautifully inspiring women. The lyrics are uplifting and the music video shows that beauty can grow from tragedy. #FromTheGroudUp
"Fly"
(feat. Rihanna)

[Chorus - Rihanna:]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

[Nicki Minaj:]
I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Trying to forgive you for abandoning me
Praying but I think I'm still an angel away
Angel away, yeah strange in a way
Maybe that is why I chase strangers away
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become Neo when they're aiming at me
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I'm just surmising
I win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher
More fire

[Chorus - Rihanna:]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

[Nicki Minaj:]
Everybody wanna try to box me in
Suffocating every time it locks me in
Painting their own pictures then they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can ever be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
I hear their criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
So we become alive in a time of fear
And I ain't got no motherfucking time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
But when you go hard your nay's become yay's
Yankee Stadium with Jay-Z and Kanye

[Chorus - Rihanna:]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

[Bridge - Nicki Minaj:]
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly
