Birdsong

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Life's a challenge, so for balance had to right some wrongs

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Life's a challenge, so for balance had to right some wrongs

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Yeah, uh

A pretty little bird on my doorstep awoke me

I open my eyes to a place I don't know yet

But been once before, yesterday in a moment

Rememberin' times I was loveless and lonely, damn

Government that sent the stimulus

Donated it to black kids with mental illness

Diamond necklace don't determine realness

I'm just rappin' 'til I'm somewhere chillin'

Feet in this feelin', I need for healin'

Rap ** don't be appealin' to me no more

Pedal to floor like scat packs at the intersection

Don't look back 'cause you might miss a blessin'

Catch me in the city, bendin' blocks like we playin' Tetris

Been that ** since an adolescent

I done learned some lessons

Come back better like I never fail

Manifest my future like a wishing well

Married to the game, but I don't kiss and tell

We don't talk as much, but I still wish you well

Roll up my sleeves like I do my heart

Kites fly higher with a runnin' start

**s tryna down me like I'm Tony Stark

I be more like Clark without the cape

But with a gold tooth

** just be you

'Cause all that fake ** gon' expose through

Shawty say she cold, my heart cold too

I be layin' low, but I still roll through

Get it how you live, and that's the cold truth

Birds of a feather flock

Together me and my dawgs flew

** cost me more than it cost you

Collect my coin then I'ma dip off

**s can't be me, so they be pissed off

Imagine how they face look when I lift off

**s think it's givin', but that ** cost

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Life's a challenge, so for balance had to right some wrongs

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Live and let live

I'm free, I'm like the prison system, lesson in the bid

I come from uncles with beer bellies and Pelle Pelle leather

Tour of plethora of rap **s tellin' me that they better with no proof

Just subject, the thought ain't quite been thought out

A grain of salt to listen to anythin' out of your mouth

This what it feel like when makin' amends after a fall out, uh

I got the ball in my court, ** it, I ball out

If you seen what we saw, you probably would tear an eyeball out

I'm talkin' 'bout depressions and messin' up legacies and successes

His head's down, seven up, I got 'em see like I'm Bethlehem born

Destined for more, outdancin' the Devil

The best is yet to come, I feel like Eve's second son

I am Abel, can't let 'em lead you astray like Adam was

I keep goin', but that's enough

He got bigheaded, they gassed him up

Caught him outside with medallions tucked

I swear this ** it can get sad as **

But

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Life's a challenge, so for balance had to right some wrongs

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Life's a challenge, so for balance had to right some wrongs

Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

Yeah, uh

A pretty little bird on my doorstep awoke me

I open my eyes to a place I don't know yet

But been once before, yesterday in a moment

Rememberin' times I was loveless and lonely, damn

Life is a test

So keep your eyes on your own paper" (Gold Mouf)
