Wings

This is my story, wait, nah

This is our story, this is our fate

This is our kingdom, this is our place

This is our freedom, cut off them chains

This is our struggle, this is our pain

This is our love, this is our trust

This is our daughters, this is our sons

Give me back my wings, yeah

Oh

Give me back my wings, see, I just wanna fly again

Wanna try, fail, try to try again

Head up in the stars, I promise I'm higher then

The right person for the job, you hire then fire them

I be working for the same thing, towards the same goal

Are we losing the passion in which we came for?

I was strong but identifying the same flaws

Fighting each other but battling for the same cause, let me breathe

Ain't got the time to be your enemy

That **** is draining, they're taking up too much energy

I'd rather invest in something that's worth it, the time is precious

So for Simz to waste it is something you'll never see, hold me to it

Everything is just a memory

It's getting modest then and never modest then, then I remember

I am not ****ing about, getting modest is an error

I'll be fine as long as I've got my head up, breathe

I ain't prayed in a minute

Before you judge me, hold that thought and let me finish

For a long time I thought that praying was just asking for things

Like the road to riches and diamond rings

But now I know that I just gotta be thankful

Blessings every day, ****, I've got my hands full

Lessons every day, I'm learning for more angles

Mum, stop stressing over **** that I'mma handle, don't you know?

Simbi got you, I ain't even gotta say it

The album's here, I hope you love it, hope you play it

I know you knew this day would come, I know you prayed it

Can't wait to look at you and tell you that I made it

It's amazing

Good things come to the people that wait and I waited

Tell me, do you believe the quote above I stated?

Nobody handed me a dream, I had to chase it

I had to find my own truth, my own meanings

Wrote this in the same bedroom I started in

Had to dream big, had to look beyond my ceiling

Do you feel it?

Hand on my heart, if only you could feel the way it's beating

I mean it

This the type of music that ain't never gonna sell? Well

Shouldn't never ever tell me that

Should've never ever told me that

What if I prove you wrong? Tell me know, could you live with that?

No, you wouldn't wanna live that

I ain't saying this'll go to number one, oh, I ain't saying that

I know you know that I ain't saying that

I just wanna do this all for my people, **** the rest

Give you realness every time, nothing more, nothing less, and it goes like

No time for these low-lives

I'm onto something bigger all thanks to the most high

Becoming more relentless and less defensive, it's in my mechanism

Who give a ****s about cosigns?

Never scared of killing 'em, something that's too real

They don't have to play this, I know that Huw will, and you will

No, you can't ignore it

Many of us want this life but just ain't cut out for it, yeah

So don't you ever

Forget who told you this

No, don't you ever

See, this is for your kids

Yeah, don't you ever

Overlook this here

So this is our message, this is our faith

This is our voice, this is our names

This is our new, now we want change

This is our sun, this is our rain

This is our wind, this is our fail

This is our hands, how can we help?

This is our heaven, this is our hell

This is our story, this is our tale, our tale
