Fly Away Lyrics - Nelly

Free city, this is a shout out to every young brother ya know 

That's doin' his bid right now, keep ya head up 

He's walkin' the yard, wishin' he had wings like this 

You know fly up out that joint, man 

If I could, fly away, ooh bet I wouldn't come back 

No more, I, I'd turn around 

Just to see you for the last time 

See, now I know, hey, that it won't be easy 

I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far 

I gotta few more feet but it's still 'The Longest Yard' 

Man, it's 'The Longest Yard' I ever had to get in my life 

And see my life ain't right, if my wife don't write 

My nigga can't eat if the fish don't bite 

My raise the gross sales, like Mike did Nike

I'm big brother almighty 

I keep a gamma ray, I'ma G-5 G 

Take a G-5 jeep, G-5 deep 

Too some of their bare feet 

And a G don't speak 

Listen mayne, they lock it down round here 

See body bagged and gagged and your found round here 

This as serious as it sound round here 

The guards guard the ground, 4 pounds round here 

And they ain't playin', they're just lettin' you know 

That anything they want to happen, nigga, happen real slow 

Get the word from upstairs that you're in that hole 

I cant take it, I'm just ready to go 

If I could, fly away, ooh and I wouldn't come back 

No more, I, I'd turn around 

Just to see you for the last time

See, now I know, hey, that it won't be easy 

I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far 

I gotta few more feet but it's still 'The Longest Yard' 

Yeah, yeah, it's still 'The Longest Yard' 

It's still 'The Longest Yard', it's still the longest 

Fought in a battle and I done made this far 

I'm in my cell 20 hours a day 

Doin' push ups ever hour a day 

'Cause I'm tryin' to keep the cowards away 

That's why I'm markin' off the calendar days 

Tryin' to get it out of the way 

And I'm just tryin' to keep a peace of mind 

And I'm gon' shank a motherfucker with a piece of mine 

'Cause they tryin' to take a piece of mine 

So I'm gon' slice his ass a piece at a time 

But now that they close the door 

Lock me in and cell 30 deep but it's built for 10 

Tell me, what kind of world they got you in? 

With the barbed wire fences, box you in 

From now, til they turn off the lights 

I'ma read anything in sight 

It's kinda hard tryin' to read at night 

But I'ma change my life 

And help another brother take this flight 

If I could, fly away, ooh and I wouldn't come back 

No more, I, I'd turn around 

Just to see you for the last time 

See, now I know, hey, that it won't be easy 

I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far 

I gotta few more feet but it's still 'The Longest Yard' 

Yeah, yeah, it's still 'The Longest Yard' 

It's still 'The Longest Yard', it's still the longest 

Fought in a battle and I done made this far 

Oh no, I gotta make it out this place some how 

Oh no, man, I really believe that I done turned it around 

Oh no, you see, all I need is that second chance to show 

Since I my incarceration, my obligation is rehabilitation 

Oh no, punch me high and kick me low 

Oh no, spit on me it's gonna take more than that for them to break my soul 

Oh no, man, it's hard for people to understand what it's like to be 

Gated, incarcerated, I just can't take it 

But I'ma make it man to see better days 

If I could, fly away, ooh and I wouldn't come back 

No more, I, I'd turn around 

Just to see you for the last time 

See, now I know, hey, that it won't be easy 

And I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far 

I gotta few more feet but it's still 'The Longest Yard' 

Yeah, yeah, it's still 'The Longest Yard' 

It's still 'The Longest Yard', it's still the longest 

Fought in a battle and I done made this far 

If I could fly away 

If I could, I'd turn around 

If I could fly away, yeah 

If I could, I'd turn around 

If I could fly away
