Raury - Butterfly lyrics

[Hook] Sometimes I wish I could be a bu*terfly Flying by, flying high Sometimes I have visions of suicide Take it away, help me erase Oh yeah, oh yeah Why don't you take it away, help me erase Oh yeah, oh yeah [Verse 1] I'm just a young n***a, that no one knew I grew alone, to be alone is nothing new With the, whole world in front of me Wrote this song here for the b**hes that front on me And n***as that stunt on me I walked the school halls they would call me a wannabe I did the small shows that nobody would come to see I gave in to madness, I would cave in to sadness I would only imagine that I'd become a n***a like this I'mma chase my dreams with a suicide wish All these motherf**ers treat me like a side dish They come like the crystals when I'm making acid, acid When I ain't had no friends I was on my grind I cannot pretend, got my dividends As a middle man Now I can make a gram, I can cop a Benz Ain't no stopping him Under pressure from the evils up above [Hook] Sometimes I wish I could be a bu*terfly Flying by, flying high Sometimes I have visions of suicide Take it away, help me erase Oh yeah [Verse 2] f** you n***a you don't like me You're just using me All this friendliness is new to me Who are you to me? When them highschool parties got to jumping, not including me I don't trust nobody now 'cause everybody cool with me But you just want what I got But when I needed rides thought you never had a spot But look at how them tables got them nice turn tops It's time for you to wonder if I f** with you or not You are not, you are not Claim you're real but you are not And since I left the 285 a n***a learned a lot The wicked make it in this game the real ones they do not So all my heros fake, and all my idols false and forgot that They're the only reason I was breathing When I was fourteen I was thinking 'bout leaving Alone up in my room with guitars every weekday every weekend And a hand full of pills no one knew about my secrets [Hook] Sometimes I wish I could be a bu*terfly Flying by, flying high Sometimes I have visions of suicide Take it away, help me erase Oh yeah, oh yeah Why don't you take it away, help me erase Oh yeah, oh yeah
