Butterfly Lyrics

When a caterpillar goes into its cocoon

It locks itself away from the rest of the world

Complete and total isolation

It enters a state of change

A state of growth

Nobody tells the caterpillar is has to change

It knows by nature

It knows by instinct

It knows that it's ready to begin its new life

Its real life

And when the transformation is complete

The butterfly reveals itself

And I am the butterfly

I am the butterfly

I put my life into this

And I watch it come alive

I am the butterfly

I am the butterfly

I put my life into this

And I watch it come alive

I looked in my mothers eyes

Told her that I don't want to die

But if I do, then ill wait for you right on the other side

Don't you wonder why

I've been going so hard cause I don't get another try

Imma touch a billion before I touch the sky

When its all over and its summarized

Then the gravestone reading "What a Life"

Im a visionary, I could carry us into the future

I could show you how the famous maneuver

My meditation is in making this music

The generations my creations influence, gon' have a dream and a vision

This what it looks like when you go and get it

I said i'd make it and I think its obvious, bitch i'm good on my promises

Aint no stopping this

Im performing for thousands, thinking back when I was anonymous

I had consciousness and my common sense

This is something y'all could never comprehend

Momma told me I could be anything

Singing and rapping, that shit had a ring

Ill do these shows and travel the globe

I just need a little time to grow

I started training my mind

Put all my burdens aside

Stopped looking out, started looking inside

Now a couple years passed by

And I am the butterfly

I am the butterfly

I put my life into this

And I watch it come alive

I am the butterfly

I am the butterfly

I put my life into this

And I watch it come alive
