0:25The world ain't for your boy is it
0:27Mama I'ma give 'em Hell I'ma give 'em hope
0:30I'm mixin' up the gumbo shout out to my momma dukes
0:34Got me cookin' cauliflower collard greens and callalloo
0:38I took a trip to LA Suby told me that I got the juice
0:41Spit that holy gospel make the pastor holler Hallelujah
0:45I'm tryna change the world before I drop dead
0:48But if I only change myself in the process that's success
0:53I ain't much of a talker no I'm a doer
0:56Yeah

1:07I'm comin' for all heads you runnin' your mouth
1:10Tail tucked 'tween your hind legs your mama will vouch
1:14You gotta let it go
1:15You can't keep an eagle in a parrot cage
1:17Nah you can't tell a feather Don't get carried away
1:21Nah you can't tell a single mother No
1:24You can't stop the mission that I'm on
1:27You can't call it no
1:28You can't keep an eagle in a parrot cage
1:32Nah you can't tell a feather Don't get carried away
1:35Nah you can't tell a single mother No
1:38You can't stop the mission that I'm on
1:41You gotta let it go ooh ooh
1:48You gotta let it ooh ooh
1:55You gotta let it go
1:57Every time I speak my soul bleeds through the bandages
1:59So these words get reserved for the warriors on canvases
2:03My high passionate reds melancholy blues
2:07These the Langston Hughes I use to pain the canvas with
2:10No
2:11I don't plan to quit anytime soon
2:14Rain sleet hail snow typhoon
2:16Even as these dark clouds surroundin' me
2:20You reminded me of high noon
2:23Am I a fool to let you through these thick walls of mine
2:27Am I a fool to introduce you to the borderline
2:30Look as these tears on my pillowcase dry
2:33Yet I remain cooler than the side never mind
2:38Am I a fool to let you through these thick walls of mine
2:41Am I a fool to introduce you to the borderline
2:45Look as these tears on my pillowcase dry
2:47Yet I remain cooler than the side yeah
2:51Never mind the pain yeah
2:53You can't keep an eagle in a parrot cage
2:56Nah you can't tell a feather Don't get carried away
3:00Nah you can't tell a single mother No
3:03You can't stop the mission that I'm on
3:06You can't call it no
3:07You can't keep an eagle in a parrot cage
3:10Nah you can't tell a feather Don't get carried away
3:14Nah you can't tell a single mother No
3:17You can't stop the mission that I'm on
3:20You gotta let it go ooh ooh
