about

“Fly away” is sang and rapped about challenges of being black as an immigrant. With what is aired on TV across Melbourne, whether you’re a refugee or just an immigrant “That sh*t affects us all” if you’re black

lyrics

My whole life has been a dream
Am trying to find where i belong
I got a feeling am alone
Got hopes of being post Malone
I don’t know where this thing will go
But to everybody doubting me man am shitting on you
From the moment i was born i was taught to be me
I’ll admit it ain’t easy perseverance is key
My skin is filled with melanin sun is shining on me
Shinning bright like morning star all the blessings on me
Wanted me a gynaecologist the grades were low
Now i rather play with hooks ain’t no clits no more
Teacher made me feel abnormal
Made me feel the dumbest student in the category
Every subject was an L man fuck normal
feel the weight of the curriculum don’t drop that shit

Go
Thru it

I felt the weight of depression i almost hung my gut
Don’t be a D Kanani man your life done changed
You done made it out of shit-holes your dreams re-arranged
Now represent immigrants
All the shit you be hearing all the pressure to fit it
All the violence they air that shit affects us all
Its like they give you freedom but they trying to fuck up your life.
Claim the gangs in the city are black
Now the kid in the city could it really be him
Everywhere on the train eyes are on him
Am staring at the skyline Melbourne ready for me
I could’ve left as a mule Akonya told me play by the rules
Suicidal thoughts
Put the energy on the LP got addicted like cocaine
My sister says i smell success like a K-9
Kill ma sins lock them up good job Kanani
Like an expectant appreciate congratulations from those that done swallow show the proof of the cream
Yeah am independent but i thank the lord for this cream
Thank the lord for the cream

Wherever you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Fly away
Wherever you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Fly away
Wherever you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Fly away
Wherever you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Fly away
Chase your dream
Wherever you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Fly away

Welcome to the village. Let the chief himself show you around.

He will share with you stories about his life in Melbourne, Australia where he migrated with family back in 2017.
My attempts at professional music composition started in 2019. However, the chief has always had a soft spot and ear for all music genres, [Some may say music is his passion].

You don’t know.”
