[Verse 1: Mocky] The rain came to my treetop And it washed away oh so many things Things I couldn't learn till I went through Things I didn't know until I met you [Chorus: Mocky] Now I'm learning the hard way Learning the hard way Learning the hard way to be true Now I'm learning the hard way That birds of a father will rock together And if we got a problem we'll talk together So let's head down south just leave for fair weather Oh oh, oh oh That birds of a father will rock together And if we got a problem we'll talk together So let's head down south just leave for fair weather Oh oh, oh oh [Verse 2: GZA] They say the early bird gets the worm Cause he never has to fight for the crumbs and then take flight and turn Especially the thousand up in the tree all whistling A natural alarm clock for those who's listening The melody is music to the ear The vibrational effect has already set, I use it like it's gear Some like to spread their wings and go skydiving Razor sharp talents, they snatch things and seek hiding King's sight even at great heights Moving with the wind of the day and up in the nest at late night A few presidents use feathers for ink pens They sign on the dotted line and that's where the link ends [Chorus: Mocky] That birds of a father will rock together And if we got a problem we'll talk together So let's head down south just leave for fair weather Oh oh, oh oh That birds of a father will rock together And if we got a problem we'll talk together So let's head down south just leave for fair weather Oh oh, oh oh
