Analysis of I believe I can fly (maybe)(sometimes)



i can think therefore i can fly...
i can think about my plans...
therefore i can hop and bump

my *ss like a frog
riveting  commentary/and
ice storm/and hunger
bump, fly, bump, fly
dust off from the landing zone
'cause helicopters don't glide
like jets but i believe i can fly
believe i can touch my eye
/but don't laugh
