"FLY"

I know you're taking us all to better days

I know you're giving us all that we can take

I know you're taking us all to better days

I know you're giving us all that we can take

Coming up in the world

Life was a struggle

My father worked his hands to the bone to quit the jungle

Meanwhile, Mama made a home in the slums for us to grow in

Old enough to walk on our own

She made us stay in

Pops was working double

So, we hardly got to see him, shit

I know she never showed it

But, it probably made her nervous

Hearing stories of a scuffle, a murder, or another break-in

Then again that shit was common

It was kind of hard not to notice

Just like them goons shooting dice

Brought the corner to the lobby floor

Vegas without the lights

Talking money-making schemes

Petty thieves was killing dreams

Smashing piggy banks

And sometimes quick to take a name

I know you're taking us all to better days

I know you're giving us all that we can take

I know you're taking us all to better days

I know you're giving us all that we can take

Six stories up

Felt like 16 flights to climb

But back then I wasn't flying

I just looked up at the sky

See me now

All I do is fly

All I do is fly

All I do is fly

Everybody's got a dream

Some will never live to see them

Others wish they could achieve what their friends and neighbors did

Some just wish they could've been

But never did enough to win

Instead, they rest their heads and beg you for a better hand

I know you're taking us all to better days

I know you're giving us all that we can take

I know you're taking us all to better days

I know you're giving us all that we can take
