Caged Birds Lyrics

I had in my mind mind, I'ma do this every week for 10 years. And then in 10 years, if it don't pan out the way I thought it would, and I don't got all the accolades and like reached the people that I wanna reach, then I alright, I gave it my best shot. I did something every single week for 10 years.de

Look, I spit a verse so a horde of heathens can find the light
But keep a pistol that tear tissue like it's time to wipe
Don't fret, my first step ain't to resign ya life
Plus that pistol fye, don't bar until it's time to bite
Hell once you find a wife, you do what you must do
To protect her and keep her up off a stretcher 'til she due
To have a baby, glad a lady came up to me and said
"Congratulations don't come to those rather lazy instead
Of hard working"
We all searching for affirmation
Some sheeple wander the atlas for validation
And valid statements from those who never will validate 'em
I pray I navigate 'em to a fortress where congregating with angels is the norm
You pray and they perform
Immaculate miracles to help you evade the storm
Of vipers, snipers, and every wicked form
Of evil that's been tryna deceive you since you was born
With ya heavens sent melanin
Don't let 'em convince you that ya etiquettes' a speech impediment
I'm in my element and feel benevolent even when I'm viewed as the elephant
In every residence I'm stepping in but hell I ain't trippin'
Aye mayne, say mayne, flow nuts macadamia
I'm from the city of purple spitting vibrainium
Get it in your cranium, can't nobody simba him
And if I ever go down it'll be like swingin' like pendulums, ooh

What's the goal though? Like the main goal?

Uhh... really to make purpose popular and whatever that look like. Yeah, the accolades and stuff is gon' be cool, but I wanna be global. I'm not tryna be no... know I'm sayin'... no disrespect to no local joker. Like I feel like we got a message for the masses. Ya know I'm sayin'!?

We come from where most don't break free
We had to learn why caged birds sing
But we fly even though they poisoned the sky
We don't cry, we gon' take our piece of the pie

So I'ma need my bread hot fresh and ready
For those who tried to keep me on ice like a YETI
The west be where they pressed me to a diamond
That's why I throw it up like the Heimlich
I'm just maneuvering on the serpents head
Swear I tread on the skull of my enemies
And I'm quadrupling anything that I touch
If it's milk and honey dummy, I'm the honey bee buzzin'
You can see the pure pollination
Need G's like Masons and a haven
For these beats I freak on the daily
I lose sleep putting feet to the pavement
And grindin' like a power tool or axe
Refinin' everything I do on wax
My time is near and I refuse to lack
The Shine which only a diamond can match
Bling, bling (Bling, bling)

You be surprised how many people get out they car and help you push your car if they see you pushin' your car. Ya know I'm saying'? A lot of good people have seen us like moving and was like, "Yo I wanna be a part of the movement." And so many people be like "man, how you afford all this?" Like bruh. Most of the people I move with, they wholeheartedly believe in my vision

We come from where most don't break free
We had to learn why caged birds sing
But we fly even though they poisoned the sky
We don't cry, we gon' take our piece of the pie
