Wings

This is my story, wait, nah This is our story, this is our fate This is our kingdom, this is our place This is our freedom, cut off them chains This is our struggle, this is our pain This is our love, this is our trust This is our daughters, this is our sons Give me back my wings, oh Give me back my wings, see, I just wanna fly again Wanna try, fail, try to try again Head up in the stars, I promise I'm higher than The right person for the job, you hire then fire them I be working for the same thing, towards the same goal Are we losing the passion in which we came for? I was strong but identifying the same flaws Fighting each other but battling for the same cause, let me breathe Ain't got the time to be your enemy That shit is draining, they're taking up too much energy I'd rather invest in something that's worth it, the time is precious So for Simz to waste it is something you'll never see, hold me to it Everything is just a memory It's getting modest then and never modest then, then I remember I am not fucking about, getting modest is an error I'll be fine as long as I've got my head up (breathe) I ain't prayed in a minute Before you judge me, hold that thought and let me finish For a long time I thought that praying was just asking for things Like the road to riches and diamond rings But now I know that I just gotta be thankful Blessings every day, shit, I've got my hands full Lessons every day, I'm learning for more angles Mum, stop stressing over shit that I'ma handle, don't you know? Simbi got you, I ain't even gotta say it The album's here, I hope you love it, hope you play it I know you knew this day would come, I know you prayed it Can't wait to look at you and tell you that I made it It's amazing Good things come to the people that wait and I waited Tell me, do you believe the quote above I stated? Nobody handed me a dream, I had to chase it I had to be business-minded and put aside my feelings I had to find my own truth, my own meanings Wrote this in the same bedroom I started in Had to dream big, had to look beyond my ceiling Do you feel it? Hand on my heart, if only you could feel the way it's beating I mean it This the type of music that ain't never gonna sell? Well Shouldn't never ever tell me that Should've never ever told me that What if I prove you wrong? Tell me know, could you live with that? No, you wouldn't wanna live that I ain't saying this'll go to number one, oh, I ain't saying that I know you know that I ain't saying that I just wanna do this all for my people, fuck the rest Give you realness every time, nothing more, nothing less, and it goes like No time for these low-lives I'm onto something bigger, all thanks to the most high Becoming more relentless and less defensive, it's in my mechanism Who give a fucks about cosigns? Never scared of killing 'em, something that's too real They don't have to play this, I know that Huw will, and you will No, you can't ignore it Many of us want this life but just ain't cut out for it, yeah So don't you ever Forget who told you this No, don't you ever See, this is for your kids Yeah, don't you ever Overlook this here So this is our message, this is our faith This is our voice, this is our names This is our new, now we want change This is our sun, this is our rain This is our wind, this is our fail This is our hands, how can we help? This is our heaven, this is our hell This is our story, this is our tale, our tale
