REBIRTH

*Phone rings*

Hey

How you doing?

Folks been saying they see your mugshot on the news

Well, I'm not lookin' at that, you know

I had surgery, I got other things to think about, I got a lot of pain

But, we all do

I know you need to know we're gonna get through it

Everythings gonna be okay

Hurt a lot of people 'cause we hurt ('Cause we hurt)

Been in the game a long time, a nigga feet hurt (A nigga feet hurt)

We all get doubted sometimes as believers

But shit don't change until you feel the pain of a rebirth (Rebirth, rebirth)

Rebirth (Rebirth, rebirth)

In the same month that my debut album dropped, my pops had surgery on his neck

It left him paralyzed, I saw the fear in his eyes

Reflectin' in mine, next to my mom, watching 'em grieve

Wipin' tears from her face, with my heart on my sleeve

Throwin' up the Roc as I stood on stage with Hov

While my own father could barely walk like he two years old

And I'm gone on the road, so my mental state feels like the innerstate,

all of the travellin' took its toll

Googoo had a DJ set first night in Toronto

I was off the d'USSÉ, swimmin' in Ace of Spades

I hit the club owner's brother over the head with the bottle

I was at my breakin' point, I couldn't contain my rage

All the aggression that I was reflectin' was just depression

Lookin at album sales, lower than I expected

I wrote my oddisee on The Autobiography

Felt like Capitol ain't pull through with all that they promised me

Tatted Alexandria name on my arm as a promise ring

Then I broke it like a joke, now I'm laughin' at myself

It's easier to place the blame on everybody else

I'm yellin, "**** the world!", but it's really a cry for help

Hurt a lot of people 'cause we hurt ('Cause we hurt)

Been in the game a long time, a nigga feet hurt (A nigga feet hurt)

We all get doubted sometimes as believers

But shit don't change until you feel the pain of a rebirth (Rebirth, rebirth)

Rebirth (Rebirth, rebirth)

Drowning in controversy, I made it my identity

I can be guilty of lackin' empathy

Tryna play the hero, it made me a public enemy

On point with my message but too blunt with my delivery

I should've learned not to mix award shows with Hennessy

Point a finger, that's three fingers back in your direction

Sometimes you gotta take a L or two, to learn the lesson

I dissed the mother's, dead son, I'm sorry Ms. Jackson

I take the heat, I gotta let it burn with my confessions

In the midst of the madness, my baby sister had a psychotic break

Spent Christmas in a psych board

Not knowing if she's in good hands, like All State

That was a tall order for the fam, she's only 5'4"

Now I got my personal all tangled on my mic cord

Could either break you or make you, appreciate life more

It only differs in perspective, you witness my crucifixion

Welcome to my resurrection

(Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth)

Oh-ooh, ooh-oh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh

We'll fly away, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

We're still alive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Back from the dead, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

We're still alive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Back from the dead

I'll pick you up when you're drowning, I'll hold you down

I'll be your sun and provider and your protector (Your protector)

I'll be the one that you follow when you feel down (Down, down, down)

Come follow me to the sun and we'll fly away

Down, down, down

Fly Away

We'll fly away

Fly away (We can go high-high-high)

We'll fly away

Fly away (We can go)

We'll fly away

Fly away (We can go high-high)

We'll fly away (Go right now)

Fly away

We'll fly away

Fly away

We'll fly away

Fly away (Higher and higher)

We'll fly away

Fly away

We'll fly away (Until God comes)

Fly away

We'll fly away (Higher and higher)

Fly away

We'll fly away (Fly away)

Fly away

We'll fly away

Fly away

We'll fly away
