Fly

Lately I been stressed out, depressed
About the things going on in this world, man what's next?
But what else can you expect?
There's evil in the people of the world. They'll deceive you and leave you with nothing left
And my people still oppressed. If it ain't one thing it's another
Like there's no love here for me and my brothers
So we as a race suffer
Cause if they take the target off my back, then it's on my sisters and mother
So I'm glad they started hearing us
Black lives gon always matter. Don't believe it? Well I guess you'll start fearing us
We standing up to you and you
Cause what happened at Mizzou is something we shouldn't be going through
And I'm just bringing you the truth. 9 times outta 10, if it's affecting me, I know it's hitting you
Society is full of things I'm just not cool with
Wish I could take a flight away from all this bull shit

Do you wanna fly away? Or just get by today?
If you want a brighter day then you gotta find a way
Aye aye... I wish I could fly away whenever the skies are grey
I wanna fly away. Aye?

And I can't help it, shit sometimes I feel helpless
It's like whenever things feel right, they seem to end up turning left again
Like there's no love in this world of sin
I pray to God that things get better just to feel like my old self again
And I can't help it, shit sometimes I feel helpless
Like whenever things feel right, they seem to end up turning left again
Like there's no way that we can win
Seeming like and endless cycle that will never ever end
And I can't sleep man I'm tossing and turning
These new ways of the world seem to have me so concerned
My heart's just yearning to be free
All I wanna do is take the chains and the shackles off my feet
But they ain't having it. Senseless violence in place to treat us inadequate
Then look down on us like black people are savages?
Society is full of things I'm just not cool with
Wish I could take a flight away from all this bull shit

Do you wanna fly away? Or just get by today?
If you want a brighter day then you gotta find a way
Aye aye... I wish I could fly away whenever the skies are grey
I wanna fly away. Aye?
