Wheels Up
Wheels Up: Soaring Beyond Hard Times with Sweet Melodies
Lyrics
Get some of my medicine in me
Seeking relief through medication or some form of remedy
'Cause you know it's been a long long time
Expressing the passage of a considerable duration
And I'm getting for free
Receiving something without having to pay for it
It gotta be waiting on a long, long line
Anticipating a long wait or delay
Spending like money grow on trees
Spending extravagantly as if money were abundant
'Cause you know it's been a hard hard crime
Referring to a challenging or difficult past
Gonna see all the seven seas
Expressing a desire for exploration or travel
I've been waiting on this all my life
Highlighting the significance or anticipation of a particular moment
Now won't you understand that
Requesting comprehension or empathy
Dreaming I'm fading, but I'm here with hands up
Feeling a sense of fading while surrendering
Screaming "I made it"
Expressing success or achievement
Never gonna see the ground ground ground
Repetition emphasizing a commitment to avoid failure or falling
Never gonna see the ground ground ground
-Never gonna see the ground ground ground
-Never gonna see the ground ground ground
-Get some of my medicine in me
Similar to line 1, seeking relief through medication or remedy
'Cause you know it's been a hard hard night
Describing a difficult or challenging night
Give me some sweet attention please
Requesting attention or affection
Done are my days of doing hard, hard crime
Expressing the end of engaging in illegal activities
Thinking of the sweetest melody
Reflecting on pleasant thoughts or memories
Hoping this moment hits you right on time
Hopeful for a timely occurrence of a significant event
Maybe then I can get some sleep
Desiring rest or sleep after a challenging time
'Cause you know it's been a hard hard life
Describing a challenging or difficult life
Now won't you understand that

-It's all up, but I'm wheels up, go find what you've been missing
Expressing readiness to explore or discover something missing
Put away your tray tables in the upward position
Metaphorically putting things in order for departure or change
Gone away are the dog days of love birds and kittens
Referring to the end of carefree or happy times
It's all up, but it's wheels up
Emphasizing readiness for departure or change, similar to line 35
I wonder where they gon' be when all the plans get cut off
Contemplating the uncertain future when plans fail
All the rights turn in to wrongs and all the lights get turned off
Anticipating negative outcomes or changes
All the preachers turn in to clones and everybody starts singing songs
Commenting on the lack of originality or uniqueness in society
That sound the same, I can't sing along
Feeling disconnected from societal norms or trends
Got my phone off I'm in a different zone
Being in a different mental or emotional state
Wheels up, I'm leaving home, they try to box me in but I needed mo'
Departing from home despite attempts to confine or limit
How you wait 'til I come up and then come around like "way to go"
Questioning the timing of recognition or acknowledgment
I been grindin', we got ways to go, it's a marathon I gotta take it slow
Working persistently towards a goal, acknowledging the need for patience
We doin' the impossible like it's summertime, they can't stop the glow
Achieving remarkable feats despite challenges
Never gonna see the ground ground ground
Repetition emphasizing commitment to avoid failure or falling, similar to lines 13-16 and 30-33
Never gonna see the ground ground ground
-Never gonna see the ground ground ground
-Never gonna see the ground ground ground
