Orbit in My Veins

[Intro]
Suit up
Zip tight
One more check
Then night
[Verse 1]
I been floatin' past the rumors, I don't hear 'em in a vacuum
Helmet on my head, got my fear in the back room
Sticker on the dash from the block where I came
Now I'm readin' all the stars like they spell out my name (yeah)
Crumbs in the cabin, that's the life we was eatin'
Now it's freeze-dried meals, talkin' charts in the meeting
Earth lookin' small like the drama I was in
Blue marble in the window, just a memory I spin
[Chorus]
I'm an astronaut, orbit in my veins (veins)
Talk to the moon like we share last names (yeah)
Planets in a line, I'm alignin' with my fate
If gravity callin', it gon' have to wait
I'm an astronaut, flyin' past the pain
Galaxies around me when I say my grace
If the world too heavy, I just drift in space
If the world too heavy, I just drift in space (drift in space)
[Verse 2]
Got a picture in my pocket of my mom by the stove
She said "aim past the clouds," now I'm past what she knows
Checklists, airlocks, breath on the glass
See my own face floatin' in this endless black mass
Mars on the radar, red eye, no sleep
Used to dream small, now the mountains look cheap (uh)
Saturn got rings like the ones that we trade
Promised all my brothers I'ma send 'em back a wave
[Chorus]
I'm an astronaut, orbit in my veins (veins)
Talk to the moon like we share last names
Planets in a line, I'm alignin' with my fate
If gravity callin', it gon' have to wait
I'm an astronaut, flyin' past the pain
Galaxies around me when I say my grace (say my grace)
If the world too heavy, I just drift in space
If the world too heavy, I just drift in space (yeah)
[Bridge]
Weightless
But my past still heavy (heavy)
Stare at that sunrise
Same sun from the deli (from the deli)
Out here, every tear just float
I let it go, let it glow, then I aim for the quote (let it go)
[Chorus]
I'm an astronaut, orbit in my veins
Talk to the moon like we share last names
Planets in a line, I'm alignin' with my fate
If gravity callin', it gon' have to wait
I'm an astronaut, flyin' past the pain (hey)
Galaxies around me when I say my grace
If the world too heavy, I just drift in space
If the world too heavy, I just drift in space

rap, Cosmic trap beat with spacious 808s and crisp hi-hats, male vocals in a laid-back but confident pocket. Hook explodes with layered chant-style doubles and airy synth pads, verses stay darker with panned ad-libs and subtle choir stabs. Final chorus adds octave vocals and wider stereo image for a lift-off feeling.
