Let Me Fly

[Intro]

If you love somethin', let it go

If it comes back to you it's yours

If it doesn't, it never was

Hold me down, baby

[Chorus]

Either let me fly or give me death

Let my soul rest, take my breath

If I don't fly I'ma die anyway

I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day

Either let me fly or give me death

Let my soul rest, take my breath

If I don't fly I'ma die anyway

I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day

[Verse 1]

Hold me down, niggas wanna know me now

Didn't want to play with me when to show me how

No meow, 'cause it's all about the bark

Let the dog loose, baby, it's about to spark

Light up the night like the 4th of July

Niggas know, when I let go, niggas die

With this Y and you don't know, you slow

Like Baltimore, if you ain't tryin' to go you blow

I soak up all the pain and accept it in silence

When I let go it's violence, 'cause the wildest

Is the dog barkin' up the tree for the cat

In the fog, what y'all niggas see is the bat

Flappin' away, but I'm blind like Stevie

Niggas don't hear me, still tryin' to see me

Stop bein' greedy, you heard what I said

Let me go, let me flow, or I'm dead

[Chorus]

Either let me fly or give me death

Let my soul rest, take my breath

If I don't fly I'ma die anyway

I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day

Either let me fly or give me death

Let my soul rest, take my breath

If I don't fly I'ma die anyway

I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day

[Verse 2]

I sold my soul to the Devil, and the price was cheap

And yo, it's cold on his level, 'cause it's twice as deep

But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss and so on

Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb – shall I go on?

Yo, on the real, what the deal? It's a mystery

How is it I can live and make history?

If you don't see it, then it wasn't meant for you to see

If you wasn't born with it, it wasn't meant for you to be

But you can't blame me for not wantin' to be held

Locked down in a cell where the soul can't dwell

This is hell, come meet the Devil and give me the key

But it can't be worse than the curse that was given to me

It's what I live for, you take away that and I'm gone

There's a difference between doin' wrong and bein' wrong

And that ain't right, just keep it fair, baby

Put me in the air and I'll take it there, baby, yes!

[Chorus]

Either let me fly or give me death

Let my soul rest, take my breath

If I don't fly I'ma die anyway

I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day

Either let me fly or give me death

Let my soul rest, take my breath

If I don't fly I'ma die anyway

I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day

[Verse 3]

I'ma flow regardless because I'm an artist until I'm trapped

I'ma continue to hit the hardest whether I scrap or rap

Give me dap, but you ain't my friend

I see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end

You waitin' for that bend in the road where you were told

That you would go when you were old and if you died young, it was cold

Sold, not for nearly what it was worth

Think back 26 years, be like, "What if his birth

Was a miscarriage and I never existed?"

Have I given somethin' that if taken away you'd have missed it?

Didn't know, yet I persisted, it was the call of the wild

I merely say what's in my heart and you call it a style

Don't put it in a cage, don't mistreat it

You say you hunger for knowledge? Here it is, eat it

Another song completed is another thought captured

Let me do my thing, I got it locked with this rap shit

[Chorus]

Either let me fly or give me death

Let my soul rest, take my breath

If I don't fly I'ma die anyway

I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day

Either let me fly or give me death

Let my soul rest, take my breath

If I don't fly I'ma die anyway

I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day

[Outro]

Or give me death

Or take my breath

I'ma die anyway

But I'll be gone any day

Or give me death

Or take my breath

I'ma die anyway

But I'll be gone any day

Where my niggas?

Uh, ah, for my niggas

Uh, ah, for my niggas

Uh, ah, for my niggas
