Bird in the Sky

Yeah yeah,
I would always dream real big but I never put the work in,
Think I was perching too high
I ain't even learn to spread my wings had to fall up on my face,
Dragged down by my burdens, so I
Had to take some time to myself
But know I ain't fall off baby I was just learning to fly
Now I set my sights real high, yea I fall, still I rise,
Now I'm looking like a bird in the sky
Now I know my worth lil baby imma get a few b's
Know I'm no longer gone work for a dime
Whether rap or I sing or I get some good tree
And then break down a bird with the guys
I don't know if anything would change
I would do it all the same if I ever was reversing the time
Either way I'd still be the kings thats because I found out
That the universe works in my mind
Boy I been working and working I'm searching for something,
I don't even get no personal time
All my people been through so much and I'm looking for change,
Cause I feel we deserving to thrive
I was somewhere lost up in the church I was still feeling hurt
Heart felt like it was bursting inside
My family been praying for years and they still shedding tears
So tell me why the hell I'd worship the guy
I seen it was time to hit the road mama handed me the keys
And at first I was too nervous to drive
Then I started moving every time a car passed on my side,
I was scared so I swerve to right
Then I got tired of braking, I wanna start racing,
I no longer jerked to the side
Then I put the petal to the metal, ain't no time to go slow,
Move quick, skrt skrt I've arrived

Straight to my destiny, shout to whoever protecting me,
Hope that I do it successfully, hope they accepting me,
Gave you my heart and my soul
Now I'm here just to give you the rest of me,
I got the recipe, tryna cook something so heavenly,
Wonder will anyone chef with me
Whip up the specialty, I'm tryna bake me a cake,
If you ready then come get this bread with me,
Now ain't no catching me,
Nowadays I move correctly,
Nowadays ain't no correcting me
Now you cant eff with me,
Tell me where all y'all was at when I ain't have no one to invest in me,
Life like to wrestle me,
I just want love and respect for me, lately my demons been testing me,
Now I want everything,
I want the sun and the moon with the I care for right next me
Had people tell me they love me then they switched up on my,
I'm sorry that word not impressing me
I had the girl of my dreams say the craziest things,
Lie to me as she was caressing me
I done been stabbed in the back by some people who say that they'd step for me,
Man that shit treachery
I started watching my neck put the "s" on my chest,
My enemies no longer a threat to me

Through all the hurt and the pain, I had learned to maintain,
Now I'm looking like a bird in the sky
Through all the snow and the hail and the thunder and rain
I stopped caring bout the turbulence, I
Member when I I fell up on my face I was in a dark place
Late nights spent cursing my pride
Guess that I was moving to fast I had messed around and crashed,
Can't lie man it hurts to collide
Government sell drugs,
So why is it when my cousin try to do it they gone treat him like he murdered a guy?
Wasn't raised a thief, but he didn't really have a thing to eat
So he figured he start serving some pies
It ain't right I done my mama cry so many times
You would think she had dirt in her eyes
It's either we throwaway our life or we give away our fight everyday as we work to survive
Running through a race they ain't say it was a maze you cant escape,
We just walking round in circles inside
Im just tryna fight through all the aches, keep a smile on me face,
Though my mental state worsens with time
I was in my home, I got low, I was feeling all alone
Use to think I was deserving to die
Pistol to the dome but I didn't put my finger on the trigger,
I ain't even have the courage to try
I would always dream real big but I never put the work in
Think I was perching too high
I ain't even learn to spread my wings had to fall up on my face
Dragged down by my burdens, so I
Had to take some time to myself but know I ain't fall off
Baby I was just learning to fly
Now I set my sights real high, yea I fall, still I rise,
Now I'm looking like a bird in the sky
