Searching for a better world
This ain't no game (this is not a game)
Searching for a better world
This ain't no game (this is not a game)
Yeah, this is for my caged birds
Who's fighting just like me
Daily and nightly, so beyond getting icy
It's likely we'll never get out here
But we don't care, keep my mind up there
High above all the noise and pollution, the shootin'
The robbin' and lootin' and the mind prostitution
Got a problem s**er that y'all can't solve
Looking deep into my mirror, let the thoughts revolve
Like we're an orbit on the dark side of the moon
I can't ignore it the second coming probably soon
Everyday, as I lay, getting tuned with the boom the pain relief is too coon, check this out of my room
But my mind go free so the galaxy blooms
Like my momma told me pray to the greatest of j**s
Picture me, rolling out, I'm holding, take control of the script
Off my back spread my wings, my spirit can live (live live live..)
Searching for a better world
This ain't no game (this is not a game)
Searching for a better world
This ain't no game (this is not a game)
Ah, a voice rang in the emptiness
The helplesss moan of wings that were never spread
My song brings the evidence
Allowing me to sing what was never said
Parrots look down on the pidgeons who
Comb the streets for old trash to eat
But my head's up I strut through this b**h cause
My beak doesn't repeat my masters speech
My feathers are your scholars ink pen
They held their natives decorate their big men
I represent strength and wisdom and even you can see freedom ring when my wings spread
What is it about you that you have to capture
That what you can not master
If you can't grasp it you attack it, trap it, slam it in a cage and latch it
Everyday that you hold me in bars is another day I can't teach your soul to soar
Here both of us are, link to this song - and when you hear a caged bird, sing along!
Searching for a better world
This ain't no game (this is not a game)
