Caged Birds Lyrics - Nell

[Tobe Nwigwe] 

I had in my mind mind, I'ma do this every week for 10 years. And then in 10 years, if it don't pan out the way I thought it would, and I don't got all the accolades and like reached the people that I wanna reach, then I alright, I gave it my best shot. I did something every single week for 10 years.de 

[Verse 1: Tobe Nwigwe] 

Look, I spit a verse so a horde of heathens can find the light 

But keep a pistol that tear tissue like it's time to wipe 

Don't fret, my first step ain't to resign ya life 

Plus that pistol fye, don't bar until it's time to bite 

Hell once you find a wife, you do what you must do 

To protect her and keep her up off a stretcher 'til she due 

To have a baby, glad a lady came up to me and said 

"Congratulations don't come to those rather lazy instead 

Of hard working" 

We all searching for affirmation 

Some sheeple wander the atlas for validation 

And valid statements from those who never will validate 'em 

I pray I navigate 'em to a fortress where congregating with angels is the norm 

You pray and they perform 

Immaculate miracles to help you evade the storm 

Of vipers, snipers, and every wicked form 

Of evil that's been tryna deceive you since you was born 

With ya heavens sent melanin 

Don't let 'em convince you that ya etiquettes' a speech impediment 

I'm in my element and feel benevolent even when I'm viewed as the elephant 

In every residence I'm stepping in but hell I ain't trippin' 

Aye mayne, say mayne, flow nuts macadamia 

I'm from the city of purple spitting vibrainium 

Get it in your cranium, can't nobody simba him 

And if I ever go down it'll be like swingin' like pendulums, ooh 

[Keisha Nicole] 

What's the goal though? Like the main goal?

Uhh... really to make purpose popular and whatever that look like. Yeah, the accolades and stuff is gon' be cool, but I wanna be global. I'm not tryna be no... know I'm sayin'... no disrespect to no local joker. Like I feel like we got a message for the masses. Ya know I'm sayin'!? 

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe, Fats Nwigwe, & NELL] 

We come from where most don't break free 

We had to learn why caged birds sing 

But we fly even though they poisoned the sky 

We don't cry, we gon' take our piece of the pie 

[Verse 2: NELL] 

So I'ma need my bread hot fresh and ready 

For those who tried to keep me on ice like a YETI 

The west be where they pressed me to a diamond 

That's why I throw it up like the Heimlich 

I'm just maneuvering on the serpents head 

Swear I tread on the skull of my enemies 

And I'm quadrupling anything that I touch 

If it's milk and honey dummy, I'm the honey bee buzzin' 

You can see the pure pollination 

Need G's like Masons and a haven 

For these beats I freak on the daily 

I lose sleep putting feet to the pavement 

And grindin' like a power tool or axe 

Refinin' everything I do on wax 

My time is near and I refuse to lack 

The Shine which only a diamond can match 

Bling, bling (Bling, bling)

You be surprised how many people get out they car and help you push your car if they see you pushin' your car. Ya know I'm saying'? A lot of good people have seen us like moving and was like, "Yo I wanna be a part of the movement." And so many people be like "man, how you afford all this?" Like bruh. Most of the people I move with, they wholeheartedly believe in my vision 

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe, Fats Nwigwe, & NELL] 

We come from where most don't break free 

We had to learn why caged birds sing 

But we fly even though they poisoned the sky 

We don't cry, we gon' take our piece of the pie
