Taylor King (Beat) - Fly lyrics

[Verse 1] They told us that the best thing to ever happen was the president seat Evidently, things are never what they seem Cause they hate us still Beat us down at every opportunity In the land of the free But nothing's being handed We demanded all these things we take for granted In the streets, locking arms while we chanting Somebody will hear the message If red and blue can get along to fight the greater cause Then why the f** can't we see each other for more than flaws Yeah I'm talking messed up grills Crooked hairlines still But do you see what's in the news Tell me what is the deal Sandra ain't deserve to go n***a neither did Sam I'm tryna paint a picture bigger that can capture what I'm saying I mean more than a thousand words Feel it in traps and burbs While everything they saying got them sounding absurd Got the power of the pen but man this sh** is a curse Now imma let you mourn dawg, just know that sh** for the birds [Hook](x2) Everybody got a problem with the world we living in now I wanna fix it, I been thinking tryna figure out how If we spread our wings then maybe we could learn how to fly All these frowns that's around me, hope we learn how to fly [Verse 2: Sleep] I'm tryna learn how to fly Ain't got my wings yet They saying there's some good in the world, that I ain't seen yet And I ain't mad about it Life is but a dream, or better yet it's a nightmare Blessings to the team, we good So it's understood Look if it's a problem Then you got a whole squad of some n***as you need to solve it with Model it Wear it like a uniform, keep it true Keep your word Always be a man, n***a see it through And we seeing through All of the lies All of the smiles, you can see the hatred all in the eyes I'm saying Every man created equal but the heart isn't It's hard not to play a part in it I'm saying Yo, perception is everything So stay grounded Speak your mind, n***a f** how the sh** sounded When it's all said and done, you can look at you Came for the world and you took it too Sleep [Hook](x2) Everybody got a problem with the world we living in now I wanna fix it, I been thinking tryna figure out how If we spread our wings then maybe we could learn how to fly All these frowns that's around me, hope we learn how to fly [Verse 3] Day by day, this sh**s insane and when it rains, it f**ing pours dawg If somebody ask me if I get it, imma say of course dawg Of course yall know, knowledge is power Freedoms only realistic at the top of tower Put a stop to these cowards Who shoot first and ask questions never Better him than me they say, oh boy that's f**ing clever Still that boy from the cellar, that you can't tell sh** to But when it really hit you n***a lift up the pencil Put your heart in every letter, never know where it'll get you If your hands up and you next, better hope they miss you That's a separate issue So there I'll place the comma Drama drama dramas all I hear, turn to my momma Saying I can be whatever I want if I put my mind to it But the systems corrupt, don't know if I got time to prove it Power of the pen but man this sh** is a curse Now imma let you mourn dawg before it get any worse [Hook 2] Tell me why they got a problem with the sh** I keep in my head Are they scared of the potential that's unleashed if I ain't dead Born living a lie, I was only born to die The way I'm feeling inside, imma learn how to fly Yeah, imma learn how to fly Man I put on my momma imma learn how to fly Put it on my son too, one day imma fly Done living a lie, man imma learn how to fly
