Way Up - Jamila Woods

I’m an alien from inner space

They can’t read my mind all in my face

No one knows I’d rather spend my days alone on my pillow

I don’t care what they say

I’ve been waiting for so long

Call me by my name

They keep telling me I’m wrong

We are not the same

I don’t belong here

I don’t belong here

I’m feeling high

My money’s gone

Can’t find my home

I wanna go

To my own private planet I’ve been dreaming of

Little moon in my head I be moving on

Up and away

Up and away

Just 'cause I’m born here

Don’t mean I’m from here

I’m ready to run

And rocket to sun

I’m way up

I’m way up

Just 'cause I’m born here

Don’t mean I’m from here

I’m ready to run

And rocket to sun

I’m way up

I’m way up

I’m an alien from inner space

They can’t read my mind all in my face

No one knows I’d rather spend my days alone on my pillow

Earth’s getting old

So color me gone

I’m ready to run

And rocket to sun

And it ain’t so bad

So don’t look so sad

Just 'cause I’m born here

Don’t mean I’m from here

Just 'cause I’m born here

Don’t mean I’m from here

I’m ready to run

And rocket to sun

I’m way up

I’m way up (Up and away)

Just 'cause I’m born here

Don’t mean I’m from here

I’m ready to run

And rocket to sun

I’m way up

I’m way up (Up and away)
