Ryan Leslie - The Black Flag Lyrics
Your red lights
Ain't never slowing me down, oh no no
Uh yea
My passion – a reason for my existence
Self-made, I did it with no assistance
Luxury suite view through these Cartier lenses
Huh, and we started in the nose bleeds
No my feet up on the wood in my own seats
Court-side and it's cheap bucks versus Knicks
Watch my homie B Janice, drop 36
And that's a definition of, when pain meets love
And it turns the game, and you earn your name
Then girl come, will you earn your fame?
Get off me, I'm too hot, you can't burn a flame
I still pursuit even though I seem ridiculous
The taste of success bittersweet like licorice
I fly with the wings of Icarus
And when I achieve, I could turn with much satisfaction
To reply Michael Jackson was not ignorant sexist
So back to my dreams of riches
More money, more balls, more rings -
Hear me?
Yet many believe in God but they ain't religious
I'm suspicious, I believe in them digits
I believe in them digits
So picture me above the sky
Shine a brighter day, sunlight
I'm a write a name in the stars
So everybody knows who we are
And I'm a be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it
Said I'm a be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it
Yea, let the black flag fly uh
Yea, and it's a waste when this new money can't buy taste
Bought their selves some Versace, mispronounce it Vercese
It's my time, blow your mind like an ounce to the face
Yea I do believe in miracles, heaven is so empirical
You could see the way I climbed up the ladder
Education – Ivy League, I'm talkin mind over matter
And so called innovators is always asking for favors
Then they take the credit to the fruit of your labor
But not me, I'm a beast, that's JF Leccord Jeezy
Not many can say they play keys with Eas-E
Or they had a couple girl on their knees to please me
I can't leave the game, not yet, it still needs me
Uh, so let the black flag fly
My vision of ascending the heights that rap can't buy
It's fully realize when I open my eyes and stop dreaming
I'm stuntin while you lames is scheming
Kiss the ring, I got the gifts of a king
So picture me above the sky
Shine a brighter day, sunlight
I'm a write a name in the stars
So everybody knows who we are
And I'm a be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it
Said I'm a be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it
Yea, let the black flag fly uh yea

R Les For Pres!!! Bring back your music bro!!! still my favorite artist since 2009! 10 years later and still bumping your music!

8/8/07 keep listening, bro..... So Respect
OMG...First time hearing it.
One of the most perfect songs I know. Not the best singer, not the best lyricist, but a very very good trackmaker with a bit of al elements that i mentioned above. That scene when the first hook begins, the bouncy part... legendary.
Let the Black Flag Fly!!!! EPIC

R LES!!!!
Germany is waiting for something new, cant watch the same videos every damn day
U can't compare Drake to R-les. R-les do waaaaay more sh! T but he needs to STOP RAPPING. Its getting corny wasting gr8 beats
Crazy that this dude went to Harvard. Killing it in the rap game though.
ONE OF THE BEST RL SONGS AND BEST VIDEO IN MY OPINION
Happy Birthday Brittany

Fresh! This is my favorite song on your album man. I'm glad you made a Video for it.
Ryan Leslie keep singing and rapping! Your doing both great! Love from Norway =)
He Should put NIPSEY HUSSLE on the REMIX that shit would be on fire like a flamethrower man!!! I can hear it already
Rip NIPSEY HUSSLE

BIEN CABROOOOOOONNNNN
Ryan lessie you inspire me man i must admit ur a living legend.
Les is dope but, Not feeling the rugged textures coming off in video.just not his brand
"yeah many believe in god but they ain't religious, I'm suspicious i believe in digits"
- Ryan Lesslie
Some your best work respect
le meilleure beat maker celui qui ma donner envie de me lancer dans le son R Lessss
why is there so little views on this?
Because they are organic, real, true ones. ;)
#Renegades
Because its hard to stay self made and real in this business.
ladies and gentlemen I give you ryan "the thug" leslie
Drake who.lol.jk.
Man I respect you, and I love that you doing your thing, but damn I feel like Im missing out on a dope ass r/b album. Much respect tho. You rapping isn't bad, it's dope but I swear you be killing shit when you sing on a track.
I love this song kind of disapointed it wasent on Black Mozart though can't wait for the next project #renegades
This song was in his "Les Is More" album bruh!
Thanks for this song!!
Drake! Is that you men?
Ryan Leslie Too Smooth!!
RLes come bro, You're great than this man.... Stay true to what you're meant to do.... You're an innovator not an imitator... real life!
#TaylorMadeEnt
Wayne Taylor Shut up 🤐
produced by cardiak x
Craigslist...
I wanna pay some vues for him LOL . Ryan Leslie good rapper of my generation . France
Trop propre ce Ryan Leslie
i think he saw you comment because that black mozart documentary was realy behind the scenes
he is amazing... the renegades forever!!
Fye shit r.les!....get maino on da remix....u on it wit dis 1
the renegades 4ever
Ryan is incredible...one of the best at what he does. I just think he needs to stick to what made him. The GANGSTER image is not him. DONT SELL OUT RYAN...not a good look for you. Just my opinion. I was drawn to Ryan because no other producers are on his level. Pharell and Ryan are the coldest in the game right now.
209 my nigga
Like how he sings the chorus , this is mellow sounding but I know someone who has a real mellow sound too, looking forward to his music # meero
R Les For Pres!!!!!
U got to be a Renegade to get the Album. Check out the R.Les Website
I Think people have to watch out to this nigga some might say he's the most underratted artist !!! but this guy is visionnary and an example of persistence THINK ABOUT IT
return to flipping my BURGERS dude
so much talent #renegades
Tell him to rap, he kill the mic. tell him to sing, he'll make your girl sweat. Ryan Fuckin Leslie
thats messed up this song not available on iTunes in the US.. this song cold
Ryan Fuckin Leslie
Yeah thats the thing about his guy....he is super talent, but it looks like he tries to fit in too much and just plain tries to hard to be hard...the music is great, he just needs to adjust how he comes across and potrays himself. For instance scripting his black mozart documentary is a bit too much.
Does anybody think he should have made R&B version of this? Beat would be crazy with the vocals.
The fact that this was shot in the bay makes it 100 x better :)
I personally think Leslie,Pharrell,Cudi and Lupe are the most underrated artists in hip hop. Although they are geniuses,successful,famous and recognized for their amazing work , i still believe that they should get more credit and be more in the spotlight.Anyway they are real Role models.
Check my channel for free never before heard drumsss
and of course his beats ;)
just killa i love his lyrics and his flow amazing talent
Outstanding.
Stop hatten bitch
Bartenderzzz listen to the lyrics bitch
oh so now hes gangster? really? lol
