Fly by TillaClay Lyrics
[Intro]
It’s just some things
I been thinking about lately
There I said it
[Hook]
I gotta break the cage
And the mold
Un creasing, I’m break the fold
I gotta get to the next page
Fuck all that minimum wage
I see my mom, my grandma, and uncle
They live in the same apartment
And it hurts me to see them starving
I live live in the hills with my siblings
And it feels like we’re ballin
[Verse 1]
My uncle, he got great Ideas
But no one put the drive in him
I gotta break away from my descendants
I’m different, I feel it
I got it, I need it I know
I know that I gotta let go
I cannot be apart of failure
Cannot be around
When shit goes down
I could be involved with better people
I know that they’re family
I know that they’re family
And it breaks me
Got my mom to give me $30
For a dance I didn’t even go to
There’s a girl in my class
Say “hi”, but I don’t talk much
Cause I look at my parents
Don’t wanna end up like those 2
Geniuses are tormented
That’s what I heard
Fighting my demons
Look like dropped birds
My grandma living off food stamps
I cannot live like that
Then my grandma’s sisters come over
And it’s like “we ballin”
But it’s the government’s money
I cannot live a lie
But I can’t be acting surprised
Me and that side that can’t be tied
I come from a place where everyone grinds
I go to a gym where people
Owning a team
They open a business
They living the life
They don’t have to lie
And they’re not trying to impress
Cause they know that they’re the best version of them self
[Hook]
I gotta break the cage
And the mold
Un creasing, I’m break the fold
I gotta get to the next page
Fuck all that minimum wage
I see my mom, my grandma, and uncle
They live in the same apartment
And it hurts me to see them starving
I live live in the hills with my siblings
And it feels like we’re ballin'
[Verse 2]
Cashing my first check
$300 in the bank
I know that I’m upping the rank
Greatest feeling when I know
That I made this money alone
I feel empowered
Looking at the things I can finally afford
I will not buy them
It’s still a great feeling of course
I spent the year working on a project
By the end
There’s a new me
That I gotta explore
I got things that are killing me
Is it worth it for the legacy
Insomnia, and constant stress
I hope one day It’ll pay me
The test yeah
[Hook]
I gotta break the cage
And the mold
Un creasing, I’m break the fold
I gotta get to the next page
Fuck all that minimum wage
I see my mom, my grandma, and uncle
They live in the same apartment
And it hurts me to see them starving
It’s just some things
I been thinking about lately
There I said it
[Hook]
I gotta break the cage
And the mold
Un creasing, I’m break the fold
I gotta get to the next page
Fuck all that minimum wage
