Cielo I Was A Bird Once by Vida Killz Lyrics
I was a bird once/ Flight unlimited
Absent from what the sun had done
Fell from a tree and caught my first buzz/
Sweet bliss up in my wingspan
Hadn’t been corrupted by nightmares then
Roamed high and far for food
Still a hustle now, as it was back when/then
I could feel beauty in all things
Fight these memories/
Before pollution stole my oxygen
Eons ago when innocence was friend
I’d float all day long with some of my homies/
‘Cuz that’s all we knew
No politics/ No system
We were one
Summer made us remember our birth
So pure
Mother Nature nourished us
Supreme definition of love
Gave herself purely such that we was/
Then these humans came
They stole our homes
Tried to rape my Mother & call her their own
Some of my family died
From a liquid that stole their ocean
They tried to save ‘em but the damage was done/
Now they all watch these boxes/
What the hells up in those boxes
Got ‘em actin’ crazy/
Killin’ eachother over those boxes/
Wish I could show ‘em where I came from
My view it was abundant
Everything pieced together so perfectly
Now it’s all stale and barren
Heard ‘em try to ridicule my brain man/ Funny they say that, but I’m the one that’s peaceful Now what’s up with your brain man? Someone told me the world was ending/ Seems she’s just beginning
Hook
We were all birds once/
But flight has ended too much war/yeah/
When will they mend it/ We were all birds once/
But flight has ended too much war/yeah/
When will we mend it
I lived on Earth once
But life has ended Too much war, when will we end it?
Even here as a human/
They stole my home
All these corportions/
No where left to roam
And like Rome they implode
Stars and strapped with gats Projectin’ these demons within
No enemy but self
from down here it’s hell
LGBTQ still a lesser
When will y’all learn lesson
Nothin’ means a thing Except meaning you bring/ So why such hatred? Youth killin’ themselves
to find Heaven Calm them voice witihin
I know those pains
Battle myself every AM
Re-examin’ my thoughts
After I did ‘em
Can’t even talk about my upbringing without crying/
But it gets better
Love thyself
Happiness comes from within
Even if these advertisements prove otherwise/
Money, that root of all evil/
Lead me from route to all evil. reincarnate me thru pencil
Bless my Grandmoms She taught me dedication
Eons ago when innocence was friend
I wrote all day long ‘cuz I had no homies
No politics & no system
We are one
Summer remind me of birth, so pure/
Moms nourished us/
Supreme definition of love
Gave herself purely such that we was
Heard ‘em try to ridicule my pen man/ Funny y’all say that/
When I’m the one that’s peaceful
Someone told me the world was ending/ Seems she’s just beginning
