[Bit 1]

I hate flying.

I'm scared of it, and that's not an irrational fear.

and I'm tired of people bullying.

We not supposed to be up there.

All right, we're not supposed to be up there.

And if we were supposed to be up there,

then why did God invent gravity?

All right, God wanted us on this ground, not in the air.

If he wanted us in the air, he would have made us angels.

But we not supposed to be up there.

We're defying God.

All right, we are defying God being up there.

And I'm not religious,

but when that plane start turbo-lizing,

nigga, I believe in God.

When the plane got tuberculosis, nigga, you the--

[Bit 2]

I took my first-- I took my first private jet, right?

And I didn't pay for it. Tony did.

It was Tony's flight.

I was going to open up for Tony.

And I can tell you all this.

Fuck little planes, all right?

Fuck little planes.

We not supposed to see the captain, all right?

That's what I-- we not supposed to see the captain.

the captain the whole time that I was supposed to be in 30F,

nigga, I'm not supposed to--

There's supposed to be room in between,

because you-- I'm not supposed to hear what they hear

or see what they see.

Lie to me over at the intercom, all right?

That's-- I turned around, and I looked, and I saw the map

that they saw with the plane going, and the bat was red.

And we can agree that red mean bad.

I know red mean bad because the pilot came

and he leaned over to us.

He was like, "Hey, guys, we're gonna get into some turbulent weather.

It's gonna be really increment."

Which, if people say that, we gonna die.

You know what I'm saying?

When you start using big words, somebody about to die.

And he was like, "Make sure you guys are buckled up

as if I ever took off my seat belt."

And he was like, "Y'all, we're gonna be fine."

But the whole time he was talking, I didn't say nothing

because I was scared and I was crying.

I was crying, but I really wanted to say,

"Nigga, get back up there, all right?

Why are you back here?

This plane take two people.

I turn around the pilot doing this with both steering wheel."
