Saba - Birdsong lyrics

[Chorus: Saba] 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 [Post-Chorus: JID] 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 [Verse 1: Lute] Government that sent the stimulus Donated it to black kids or 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 sh*t don't be appealin' to me no more Pedal to floor like scappacks 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 ni**a since an adolescence 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 mush, but I still wish you well Roll up my sleeves like I do my heart Kites fly higher with a runnin' start ni**as tryna down me like I'm Tony Stark I be more like Clark without the cape But with a gold tooth ni**a just be you, 'cause all that fake sh*t 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 sh*t cost me more than it cost you Collect my coin then I'ma dip off ni**as can't be me, so they be pissed off Imagine how they face look when I lift off ni**as think it's givin', but that sh*t cost [Bridge: Saba] 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 [Verse 2: Saba] Livin' and let live I free em, I'm like the prison system 'less in the bit I come from uncles with beer bellies and Pelle Pelle leather Tour of plethora of rap ni**as 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 I got the ball in my court, fu*k 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 success His head down, seven up, but 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 able, 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 sh*t it can get sad as fu*k But [Chorus: Saba] 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 [Post-Chorus: JID] 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
