Flying

Can't say no shit that she ain't heard before

Can't buy no gifts that she ain't got

(Before)

She's been 'round playin' this all her life, you know

She say her daddy raised her right

He caught a serious bit when she was 6 years old

The biggest old dealer like to sell your soul

He kept his daughter in a paradise

He liked to dress her up like a China doll

Now when the Feds bust in shootin' rounds

He said, "Everybody in the house, hit the ground"

And it all went up in a cloud of coke

And mamma lay dyin' there on the ground

When the smoke disappeared

She flew away

That's what they say

The poor little girl is a foster child

Led to the streets to run a-wild

Yeah, so it goes

Of the agony, all the pain

The worst thing she didn't choose the road

Though it's safe to stay on the railroad

But it's never ever wrong to take her home

She's flying
