Meanwhile In The Dirty South :

I wish I could sing like the birds do
And fly away
Travel around the world I'd Love to
Fly away
I wish I could sing like the birds do
And fly away
Travel around the world I'd Love to
Fly away

I thank God for my mother
When she goes to heaven
God please tell her that I love her
With earth feeling like hell
As we suffer
A lot going on
I'm just praying we recover
As the first born
I'm feeling all pressure
My family got em expectations
Like they all expecting
Apartheid system
Got em pregnant
Pregnant with a baby
Representing education
As a blessing (Rape ting)
I tend to say this a lot
Education ain't a key
Ain't key It's lock
You trapped in a syllabus
Not beyond
Got your degree
Graduate a nine to five is your job
Now gotta move out
You gotta pay bond
Years for house
The system got you figured out
You want that vrrr phaa
The jents talking about
Judging by the seen amount
You think it be affordable
So you think about it
Coz
These days
Ain't no status to your name
If u ever
Ever seen without it
So you go for it
Pay a instalment
The media got you stressing
Bout a insurance
As you slowly drawn in debt
Twenty years forced to work for
Accumulated settlems
Yeah
Shout to to you
If you a self made entrepreneur
Who made it outta that Circumstance
Yes
Who wake up everyday
Ain't inslaved by their jobs
For a petty advance
Blessed
Who raise their kids
To believe in themselves
In whatever they do
And tell em sky ain't no limit
Coz there's footprints on the Moon
They can be star whatever They chose
They will invest in the god Given talent in yiu
I wish it was the same for me
Imagine they invest
In talent the made for me
The money for ress
And the university
Go in to the tings
That I passionately seek
Not into all the tings
They think I need
That will compromise my life
To a miserable routine
Come from work very tired
Can't focus on my dreams
At a point in life
Where I got responsibilities
Yes
We all different I agree
Others need that higher Education
To succeed
Independence is the only ting breathe
To Dependent on salary
Be the death of me
My music gives me life yeah I Agree
I gotta live for a living
In the music industry
Forced to learn a syllabus Actually
Reminds me
I'm technically
Partially born free

I wish I could sing like the birds do
And fly away
Travel around the world I'd love to
Fly away
I wish I could sing like the birds do
And fly away
Travel around the world I'd love to
Fly away
Just fly away
Just fly away
Just fly away
Just fly away
