Wings

Mama told me not to waste my life (ah-ooh)
 She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly" (ah-ooh)
 Don't let what they say keep you up at night (ah-ooh)
 And if they give you-, shh
 Then they can walk on by
 My feet, feet can't touch the ground
 And I can't hear a sound
 But you just keep on running up your mouth, yeah
 Walk, walk on over there
 'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh, yeah
 Your words don't mean a thing
 I'm not listening
 Keep talking, all I know is
 Mama told me not to waste my life
 She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly"
 Don't let what they say keep you up at night
 And they can't detain you
 'Cause wings are made to fly
 And we don't let nobody bring us down
 No matter what you say, it won't hurt me
 Don't matter if I fall from the sky
 These wings are made to fly
 ♪
 I'm firing up on that runway
 I know we're gonna get there someday
 But we don't need no ready, steady, go, no
 Talk, talk turns into air
 And I don't even care, oh, yeah
 Your words don't mean a thing
 I'm not listening
 Keep talking, all I know is
 Mama told me not to waste my life
 She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly"
 Don't let what they say keep you up at night
 And they can't detain you
 'Cause wings are made to fly
 And we don't let nobody bring us down
 No matter what you say, it won't hurt me
 Don't matter if I fall from the sky
 These wings are made to fly
 I don't need no one saying, "Hey, hey, hey, hey"
 I don't hear no one saying, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
 You better keep on walking
 I don't wanna hear your talking, boy
 You better keep on walking
 I don't wanna hear your talking, boy
 Your words don't mean a thing
 I'm not listening
 They're just like water off my wings
 Mama told me not to waste my life (ooh, woah)
