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

She's flying, yeah

She's flying

She's flying, yeah

There was some love she loved long ago

She gave that man her heart

(And soul)

He was the one that made her blood run cold

Another bad time in her life

He had her walkin' the town sellin' her ass

They was makin' money till she broke her back

One day, how you do that?

Upside down on a bow when you're smokin' crack

Somebody yelled from the back

Somebody get this hoe up off the floor

And [Incomprehensible] called the fuckin' ambulance

Now here we go

With the black top

Could've been a star

But you know how it is

You can't do shit when you're injured

Plus these hoes out here is younger every day

Plus when he left, that was that

Never even noticed that he never came back

So fucked up from prescription pills

She'll never trust the man again

No, now she's crying

She's flying

She's flying, yeah
