- Dreamville cage的bird 歌詞
- Dreamville
- [Intro: J. Cole]
Yeah, caged bird
Somen like a caged bird
Caged bird
Yeah, look
[Verse 1: J. Cole]
You aint a man till you stop chasing your friends, my *****
Think for yourself, make your own plans, my *****
Ill be lying if I said I aint understand, my **** *
Cause who you gon follow when the leaders all get swallowed
By reefer clouds and bottles
In and out of county jail
This is hell, see the young black males in packed cells
With they heads down
And they fists clenched tight
Thinking, 'I could bust a hole through this wall
And, *****, I just might.'
Its just like the caged bird; I sing a song
Hoping they open up these bars and send a ***** home
I cry when Im alone
Im wondering why would God send me here
Knowing that they hate us
Knowing that they make us feel like we evil so we kill our people
Without a second thought, in every lesson taught by OGs
We full of real ***** wisdom, so we proceed
Like real ****** who been stripped of our humanity
I see the judges eyes, I know that he aint understanding me
[Hook: J. Cole]
A caged bird (Yeah , a caged bird)
(Let this little caged bird sing) Caged bird
Yeah, caged bird
Freedoms just an illusion, thats my conclusion
And if it aint, then how my *** *** keep on losin theirs?
This goes out to childhood friends thats doin years
Prison tats on they backs like souvenirs
We wish that you was here
A mothers tear spilled onthis page
A brothers tear spilled on this page
How many days left?
And can you find peace when you released
Still filled up wit rage
Back on the streets just to peep that you still in the cage
[Verse 2: Omen]
Well, its the oratory vet
Turned down king slash poet laureate
Used to paint a picture with a story of neglect
I couldve been a shorty drinking 40s on the steps
With a shorty on my lap
With a shorty on the way coming shortly to protect
I couldve been a dealer in the party with the X
But Im hardly in the mix and I partially confess
I definitely got a couple parts in me that I regret
Is the cup half-empty or is it half-full?
I fill mine up with Hennessy, then get back to him
Im just a jazz musician trapped in a rap form
You think you standing for something you on a trap door
Well its the, Mr. Introspective
Im a dreamers dream, a sort of an inception
I never fiend for the scene but I dreamed of the things
That a Mercedes brings, like slow *** with fast women
Drinking cognac Im past grinning
A ***y dress , fat ass in it
But still hit it till Im half-winded
Cause ****** tell me Im the s**t when I be hitting all these dimes
See Im caged by the visions of the blind
I started as a king
Turned to a slave
Put us in our chains
We was forced to entertain
Thinking bout the present day Im living off the stage
Wonder if a ***** ever get up out this cage
As I sing
[Hook: J. Cole]
A caged bird(Yeah, a caged bird)
(Let this little caged bird sing) Caged bird
Yeah, caged bird
Freedoms just an illusion, thats my conclusion
And if it aint, then how my * ***** keep on losin theirs?
This goes out to childhood friends thats doin years
Prison tats on they backs like souvenirs
We wish that you was here
A mothers tear spilled on this page
A brothers tear spilled on this page
How many days left?
And can you find peace when you released
Still filled up wit rage
Back on the streets just to peep that you still in the cage
