REBIRTH (feat. BJ the Chicago Kid, Peter CottonTale & Darius Scott)

Hey
How you doing?
Folks been saying they see your mugshot on the news
Well, I'm not looking at that, you know
I had surgery, I got other things to think about, I got a lot of pain
But we all do
I know you need to know we're gonna get through it
Everything's gonna be okay

Hurt a lot of people 'cause we hurt
Been in the game a long time a n- feet hurt
We all get doubted sometimes as believers
But sh- don't change until you feel the pain of a rebirth
Rebirth

In the same month my debut album drop my pops had surgery on his neck
It left him paralyzed I saw the fear in his eyes, reflected in mine
Next to my mom watching 'em grieve
Wiping tears from her face with my heart on my sleeve
Throwing up the Roc as I stood on stage with Hov
While my own father could barely walk like he two years old
And I'm gone on the road so mental state feels like the interstate
All of the travelling took its toll

Guru had a DJ set first night in Toronto
I was off the D'USSÉ swimming in Ace of Spades
I hit the club with owner's brothers over the head with the bottle
I was at my breaking point I couldn't contain my rage
All the aggression that I was reflecting was just depression
Looking at album sales lower than I expected
I wrote my Odyssey on The Autobiography
Felt like Capitol ain't pull through with all that they promised me

Tatted Alexandra name on my arm as a promise ring
Then I broke it like a joke, now I'm laughing at myself
It's easier to place the blame on everybody else
I'm yelling f- the world but it's really a cry for help

Hurt a lot of people 'cause we hurt
Been in the game a long time a n- feet hurt
We all get doubted sometimes as believers
But sh- don't change until you feel the pain of a rebirth
Rebirth

Drowning in controversy I made it my identity
I could be guilty of lack of empathy
Tryna play the hero it made me a public enemy
On point with message but too blunt with my delivery
I should've learned not to mix award shows with Hennessey

Point a finger that's three fingers back in your direction
Sometimes you gotta take a L or two to learn a lesson
I dissed a mother's dead son I'm sorry Ms. Jackson
I'll take the heat I gotta let it burn with my confessions
In the midst of the madness my baby sister had a psychotic break
Spent Christmas in a psych-ward

Not knowing if she's in good hands like Allstate
That was a tall order for the fam she's only 5'4"
Now I got my personal all tangled in my mic cord
Could either make you or break you or make you appreciate life more
It only differs in perspective, you witness my crucifixion
Welcome to my resurrection
(Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth)

We'll fly away, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
We're still alive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Back from the dead, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
We're still alive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Back from the dead

I'll pick you up when you're drowning I'll hold you down
I'll be your sun and provider and your protector
I'll be the one that you follow when you feel down
Come follow me to the sun and we'll fly away
Fly away
We'll fly away

Fly away (we can go high)
We'll fly away
Fly away (we can go)
We'll fly away
Fly away (we can go high, high, go right now)
We'll fly away
Fly away
We'll fly away
Fly away
We'll fly away

Fly away (higher and higher)
We'll fly away
Fly away
We'll fly away (until God comes)
Fly away

We'll fly away (higher and higher)
Fly away
We'll fly away (fly away)
Fly away
We'll fly away
Fly away
We'll fly away
