Song Bird

They ask me why I sing all the time
A song bird can't be locked down
I know I have to spread my wings
I think it's time I fly away
They ask me why I sing all the time
A song bird can't be locked down
I know I have to spread my wings
I think it's time I fly away

More than my first day out
My last time coming back
No more counting days
Bitch it's time to count bands
Spending time wit my kids
Gone be the best feeling
See I was hurting in jail
Just staring at pictures
In a box wit no called just a few visits
A lot of time to look back at how I was living
I'm just thankful
For the few people that still fucking with me
When I jump we bout stunt
I'm on this money mission
The ones who never answered the phone
I know you hear me now
No more 20 minute calls ending with global telling
These just stories of my life
That you hear me telling
I was forced to be a boss
The judge made me a felon
Society no longer want me
I ain't fit in
This case they put me in
I just need to let my wingspan
Elevate,fly away, they say I think different
But I'm stuck on a metal buck
In jail just sitting

They ask me why I sing all the time
A song bird can't be locked down
I know I have to spread my wings
I think it's time I fly away
They ask me why I sing all the time
A song bird can't be locked down
I know I have to spread my wings
I think it's time I fly away

The judge look me in my face
Like I'm a fucking joke
A plead fa some county time
Was now my only hope
So stupid I put this nuisance
Around my whole throat
I'm looking back at my family
As a judge hanging from ropes
I know I'll be free again
But I'm missing my kids grow
Feel like I'm dead
Because what else is it to live for
Every other day
My son asked when I'm coming home
Baby mama stressing
It's so hard to do it alone
Ain't talk to her and some weeks
She can't keep money on the phone
Don't think shit sweet niggas flea
As soon as you gone
Out of sight out of mind
Ain't that how the saying go
But I ain't mad cause it's a fact
That life goes on
I'm just patiently waiting until they let my wing soar
See the looks on my family faces
When I'm finally home
You want to know what it sound like to hear a dove cry
Handcuff his wings put him in a cage
So he can't fly

They ask me why I sing all the time
A song bird no longer locked down
I know gotta spread my wings
I think it's time I fly away
They ask me why I sing all the time
A song bird no longer locked down
I know gotta spread my wings
I think it's time I fly away

Came out a different route
For that first down
Fuck the police
No penalty when I touchdown
Still wit the shits
I'm more legit this time around
I stayed down till I came up
But now I'm flying out
Light as a feather on my feet
The day of my release
I put my ducks in a row
And now it's time to eat
The weight been lifted off my chest
Now I can finally sing
I can't go back to the same shit
I gotta fly away
Follow the advice that I got from some OG's
Be ready for anything
When them cracka let you out that gate
Stay in your lane
Cause where God take you it was meant to be
It took a while to get on my feet
But nah I'm running game
It's some real ones ain't coming home
Up in that chain gang
Them bars will drive you insane
It so hard to maintain
God gave me so many chances
How could I complain
I'm just thankful I got my wing
So I can fly again

I think it's time I fly away
