Airport Thuggin - "Deja de Caer"





It's a journey you've been on before, yet each trip is a different path. You try to prepare yourself, bringing the necessary essentials; warm heart, strong arms, honest lips. You spend days, months, sometimes years training, building endurance for the excursion of your life. "This is it - this is the one", you say to yourself and press on.


   The climb is hard, your arms grow weary, you begin to lose your footing. A wave of fear comes over you, "will I fall again?" Memories of pain paralyze your body, and you begin to get cold feet. Suddenly you slip, the ground turning into air beneath you. Bracing yourself for the impact, you claw, fight and scratch for anything to hold on to. Nearing the ground, you give up hope - but just as you get close, a strong, but gentle wind appears and lifts you. The breeze caresses your face, cradles you, and lifts you back to the heights where you belong. 


A renewed strength boosts your energy and sends you climbing with a firm grip. You hear a voice, and find someone climbing behind you - he has arrived. The wind has brought you company, a climber who endured the rough terrain and is now sitting at the top - with you...
