Bird in the Sky Lyrics

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
