The Bird

A bird with the word came to me
 The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
 And now I look what's taking over me
 Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
 I had to wake up just to make it through
 I got my patience and I'm making do
 I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
 I choose to follow what the greatest do
 A bird with the word came to me
 The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
 And now I look what's taking over me
 Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
 I had to wake up just to make it through
 I got my patience and I'm making do
 I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
 I choose to follow what the greatest do
 I'm repping for the longest cycle, mmm
 My uncles had to pay the cost, mmm
 My sister used to sing to Whitney, mmm
 My mama caught the gambling bug, mmm
 We came up in a lonely castle, mmm
 My papa was behind them bars, mmm
 We never had to want for nothing, mmm
 Said all we ever need is love, mmm
 We see the same things
 We sing the same songs
 We feel the same grief
 Bleed the same blood
 You grew up in the home beside me
 I always had a friend to call
 How could I make it here without you? Mmm
 I pray I leave before you're gone
 A bird with a word came to me
 The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
 And now I look, what's taking over me
 Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
 I had to wake up, just to make it through
 I got my patience and I'm making do
 I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
 I choose to follow what the greatest do
 A bird with the word came to me
 The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
 And now my luck was taking over me
 Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
 I had to wake up just to make it through
 I got my patience and I'm making do
 I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
 I choose to follow what the greatest do

 Hey, my little youth is crying
 I'm almost home, almost home
 Look no further riots, mmm
 Working my fingers to the bone
 See I do the best I can, mmm
 Mama was a farmer, mmm
 Papa was a goner, mmm
