Lyrics
Fly little bird, don't say goodbye
Nothing to be scared of when the wind takes you high
Fly little bird, can you sing my name?
Home is where the heart is
Can you take me on, take me on your wings?
Life's an open ended essay, don't worry 'bout the ending
Cause when you think it's finished there's a glorious addendum
The more you hate on someone else the more you just pretending
Even though it's been a decade, our story just beginning
And as long as I am winning, as long as God is willing
I'll probably still be spitting in my forties
Or my fifties, or as long as I'm appealing
Thinking back when I was just a shorty I was picky with my music
Didn't really play my verses 'round
My city, my recording sounded shitty
But those are songs I'll be enjoying when I'm sixty
Kentucky was a mystery on the border of the Dixie
This recording industry knows we important to the history
Rapping to my grandkids 'til I'm seventy or eighty
Toured around the seven seas and wasn't never in the navy
Brung the lightning and the thunder, turn a ninety then a hundred
Then return into the clouds thinking life was so abundant
Fly little bird, don't say goodbye
Nothing to be scared of when the wind takes you high
Fly little bird, can you sing my name?
Home is where the heart is
Can you take me on, take me on your wings?
Life's good, I got no complaints
While I toke wood, reflecting out this window pane
It's most the same every day, try not to go insane
Ninety in the slowest lane, numb like it's Novocaine
No gain, no pain, life's a poker game
I'm playing chess, nappy roots across the chest
Back to country fried cess, blessed ever since I left the nest
Been flying high every day, I must confess I ain't got regrets
You gotta fly lil homie, get away fast
It ain't safe here, dreams decay here
Go to a fancy university and stay there
Get in your fast car and drive like you hate here
Just stay alive and on your feet, you'll see better days
After your journey come back home, the love never fades
Stay out of trouble best you can, make your folks the proudest
Travel 'round the world and tell me all about it
Fly little bird, don't say goodbye
Nothing to be scared of when the wind takes you high
Fly little bird, can you sing my name?
Home is where the heart is
Can you take me on, take me on your wings?
