Oppi - City Birds lyrics
[Verse 1: Oppi] Sitting on my back porch Life is all you ask for I've been good, what you ask for? I'm a redwood in this asphalt Forget about my cashflow Verses might outlast those Salary, naw what you making? Salary, don't be forsaken [Bridge: Oppi] I guess it matters when it's all gone It's just a matter of time, will you matter for long? I guess it matters when it's all gone It's just a matter of time, will you matter for long? [Verse 2: Oppi] I give a f** if ya'll don't feel me man I'm feeling myself Ya'll don't toast to my health Ya'll can't reach for my belt Ya'll ain't took these footsteps These ten toes, I ain't slipped yet I've been down, I don't forget I live and learn but still regret See I got my palms up One man ain't all us Take down all these billboards This ain't what we here for Make a wave that ain't no shape determined by the moon I got some brothers round the way the determined to make it soon Whatever plan you got, a hand to a hand, it's best to see it through Jay got on my pushing weight, he got a presidential view I ain't goin' advocate but don't wait in this gold rush Cause money makes decisions and they say they don't know us [Chorus X 2: Oppi] Go and take me to the roof Show me where you stay I've been dreaming of a sweet escape I want to fly some day With all my people [Verse 3: Vhs] Look I wonder where this all goes She told me what the stars know But I'm bundled up because I'd rather see them looking up with my eyes low Watching out for these icicles Falling fast but I grab hold I've never been so I will go This life here that's so so And what you do is all you know You got that but you need more So get yours in this fine place Talk smart, find fate Look past these cold days with your warm legs got me so late And I still wait, my heart sinks Things happen, I don't think I move fast, I'll break this You think far, can I come with huh? I'll be that and I'll be this A strange hug and a missed kiss No sleep and a long list Of I should and what's good I'm not doing what they would No space so I stood on new growth in these old woods And I don't have what they bring Can't change that so I found things High places we've never been Way up and we need wings With the city birds, they all sing Can you hear it? [Chorus X 2: Oppi] Go and take me to the roof Show me where you stay I've been dreaming of a sweet escape I want to fly some day With all my people [Outro]
