lyrics

Hoppin out the van out the back door
It's truly yours
Back In Pittsburgh

Bitch fuck what u heard
Nelly Furtado
I'm fly like a bird
It's loke lani
It's Mother Earth
Feelin so centered
Came to rebirth
Mm
This is my word
With your opinion
Not too concerned

Fly like a bird, fly like a bird
Fly like a bird, fly like a bird
Fly like a bird, fly like a bird
Fly like a bird, fly like a bird
Word

Feeling so different
First generation
Proud Daughter of an immigrant
It's imminent
This country is discriminate
Fear of the other
Outsiders
There's a formula
To the laws in the state
Mass incarcerate
A system of section 8
Numbers don't calculate
Money ain't adding up
See the bigger picture
Time for a switch
Eat the rich
Before the rich keep getting richer
Hit the swisher like you miss her
Eat her out like she's dinner
Misery loves company
No wonder why I feel so lonely
Worship my soul cus it's holy
This song is for my loners only
Lonely girl
All around the world
Ya

I'm fly like a bird
I'm fly like a bird
I'm fly like a bird
I'm fly like a bird

Bitch I'm a Star
Pussy templar
Smoke the boof in the car
Feeling rude like that girl
I know that life can get hard
From the mud
I came up
Feet on the ground
Still humble as fuck
Head in the clouds
Keep filling my cup
My skin is brown
Ain't it pretty
My halo is crown
Ya they fuckin with me
Bleed black and gold
Even under six feet
I own my soul
My only home is my bones
Now who runs the city
Living my life like it's golden
Now who's fuckin wit me

Higher and higher I fly
Higher and higher I fly
Higher and higher and higher
I'm fly like a bird, fly like a bird
Fly like a bird
I'm fly, I'm fly, I'm fly
