Let me take you back to 99
When my mom used to cry on the couch asking dear God why?
She never had no money just to put in a tie
Now she need a blessing like a ribbon in the sky
Back up in 99 we like mic when we sing it
Chucks had 'em banging my daddy was slanging
Dope, I'm so dope my city filled with snow why you think I'm so cold
They ask me where I'm going and I tell them to the stars
My mind's in the clouds but my dreams are on Mars
I never had no money all I ever had was wishes
Now I get crack money without the kitchen
I slept on the street like every night
And wishing in my blood got me living right
And I ain't gonna quit yeah I'm gonna fight
Run just to my thoughts till this soul cry
I don't wanna leave yeah I'll see you when I come back
Slow down, don't know where I'm going yeah I'm always on the right track
Slow down, see I don't wanna leave but I'll see you when I come back
Slow down,
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea I wanna fly
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea I wanna fly
I talked to my mom she had bad news
My step daddy got cancer and the flu
A job, car too they wanna let it loose
Lay off my home depo I pay due
I know I can't snooze gotta get this money
Bully back at school all brain or sunny
Got a pot of gold just for you always
Grabbed in this game pyramid for my mom
I wanna talk to Oprah cry on the shoulder
Tell her how I live my whole life not being sober
Tell Donald Trump that I just want his photo
So I ain't gotta live my whole life being alone
I slept on the street like every night
And wishing in my blood got me living right
And I ain't gonna quit yeah I'm gonna fight
Run just to my thoughts till this soul cry
I don't wanna leave yeah I'll see you when I come back
Slow down, don't know where I'm going yeah I'm always on the right track
Slow down, see I don't wanna leave but I'll see you when I come back
Slow down,
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea I wanna fly
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea I wanna fly
I don't wanna leave yeah I'll see you when I come back
Slow down, don't know where I'm going yeah I'm always on the right track
Slow down, see I don't wanna leave but I'll see you when I come back
Slow down,
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea I wanna fly
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea I wanna fly
