Broken Wings Lyrics

(Chorus)

 Shes a fairy with broken wings

 I used to watch her perform 

 And if she hears me I hope she sings songs

 That had me going right back

 Couldnt find anyone in town to talk 

 Bout how no one like that 

 Should be confined to the ground we walk

 

 She glides but just seems like she floats

 And these folks decide to crush her wings until there permanently broke

 She rides gusts of wind just by the way she spoke

 She crys but loves to sing songs of freedom and hope

 On the eastside hustling discussing things that we quote

 In shallow conversation as if we have deep throats

 We chokin on confusion

 Now show up as a heat stroke of we need coats

 Trading in our cheap jokes for her c notes

 I see notes being passed

 I ask to see what these creeps wrote

 Define silly kids and flying privelages revoke

 Ski slopes have been blocked off they cant transit 

 Had weights tied to her ankles she most definitely cant skip

 Down, shes held down by the transripts my hands grip

 Tried to tie her wings back on before the ones again clip

 Panic stricken, shell remain stuck

 On a titantic sinken, shes tryin to stay up

 Change her plan thinken its ok

 See this is strange but

 Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in a way that kept them chained up

 I'd like to see

 Her take flight into the stars

 Instead of letting her fly free they keep her in jars

 Instead of letting fly free they keep em in jars

 I put my hand to the glass so hard

 It might break the prison bars 

 It isnt hard to see why they keep her captive 

 Shes naturally attractive 

 Speaks with adlibs, shes uncommonly talented

 Aint enough adjectives to do her dispotion justice

 Kids are wishin for just a kiss and its a mission to touch her lipstick

 Cant trust her with 

 Freedom of movement thats a chance to loose her quick

 If she ups and splits 

 We might as well call that discussion quits

 If we's to keep her down the government's underlinks 

 Enslave people in this town especially if there cultures rich 

 Exploiting talents making it do a bunch of tricks

 With the rest of the wingless imports

 Repeatedly told you aint a ferry just a bitch

 Just a bitch, with a butt thats thick

 So rub your tits, and thrust your hips

 And suck my dick, and run your shit, and run your shit, and run your shit

 

 (Chorus)

 Shes a fairy with broken wings

 I used to go watch her perform

 And if she hears me I hope she sings songs

 That had me going right back

 Couldnt find anyone in town to talk

 Bout how no one like that 

 Should be confined to the ground

 

 (Verse Two)

 When I was down in New York she'd send me letters 

 And I read her passages about how I left it to the savages

 No matter how sad it is I didnt cry 

 Cause it was only a matter of time 

 Before they figured me out and tried to strip my pride

 I knew the scoop 

 Wish you could of seen the blueprints in my eye

 When I flew the coop

 Utilizing overground railroads in the sky

 It was live or die let me let you in on the secret of mine

 Me and you are different girl 

 We dont even need wings to fly

 

 We dont need wings to fly

 Me and you... we dont need wings to fly

 Keep on singing give it a try, give it a try 

 Just keep on singing giveit a try, give it a try (5x)
