Pain in my heart as i write these words
A flightless bird, so powerless, I lost my soul to cowardice, uh
But as i tried to retrieve it, couldn't believe it
Held my arms out but I couldn't reach it, i mean it when i say i'm broken inside
You'll end up disappointed if you place your hope in your pride
Just put it aside, my nigga, i know it's hard
Can't pull no strings, shit ain't working like an old guitar
"Know who you are", to be honest i'm still working on that
They knock you down ain't really no point in hurtin em back
The kettle ain't black, so don't you give in to the devil
That's what they want, niggas want you stooping to they level
Uh, but don't you do it! Keep working through it
Soon it's
Gone be time
For me to chase dollar signs
For now i'd rather chase the music
And use it for a purpose greater than myself
My demons nervous, cause i'm steady giving em hell and well
I just wanna spread my wings
Oh, i just wanna fly
But this pain still weighing me down
So i can't touch the sky
A flightless bird
I just wanna spread my wings
Oh, i just wanna fly
And though this pain is weighing me down
Still i'm gone touch the sky
Feels like i'm stuck in a cage or just running in place
Facing mistakes i wish i could erase
As memories fade, get lost in all the cannabis haze
I cannot display no interest in my enemies hate
My destiny, fate, my future, finding ways to boost ya
Writing words, and chasing what I deserve is crucial
Nothing worse than neutral, so pick a side
Stand for something, don't wait too long to change your mind
Uh, Conversations with moms, ain't no faking this bond
Told her i'm ready for the burden of taking this on
Making this song, writing my secrets on this page
I open up, only way to channel all this rage
An artists pain is a weapon of truth
A badge of freedom, i'm bleeding when i just step in the booth
Cause it's hard, to climb the highest when you might get hurt
Ain't nothing braver than a flightless bird, yeah
I just wanna spread my wings
Oh, i just wanna fly
But this pain still weighing me down
So i can't touch the sky
A flightless bird
I just wanna spread my wings
Oh, i just wanna fly
And though this pain is weighing me down
Still i'm gone touch the sky
