Scott Matelic - Broken Wings lyrics

(Chorus) She's a fairy with broken wings I used to watch her perform And if she hears me I hope she sings songs That had me going right back Couldn't find anyone in town to talk Bout how no one like that Should be confined to the ground we walk She glides but just seems like she floats And these folks decide to crush her wings until they're permanently broke She rides gusts of wind just by the way she spoke She cries but loves to sing songs of freedom and hope On the eastside hustling, discussing things that we quote In shallow conversation as if we have deep throats We chokin' on confusion Now show up as a heat stroke of we need coats Trading in our cheap jokes for her c notes I see notes being pa**ed I ask to see what these creeps wrote Define silly kids and flying privileges revoked Ski slopes have been blocked off they can't transit Had weights tied to her ankles she most definitely can't skip Town, shes held down by the transcripts my hands grip Tried to tie her wings back on before they're once again clipped Panic stricken, she'll remain stuck On a Titantic sinkin', shes trying to stay up Change her plan thinkin' it's OK See this is strange but Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in a way that kept them chained up I'd like to see Her take flight into the stars Instead of letting her fly free they keep her in jars Instead of letting fly free they keep 'em in jars I put my hand to the gla** so hard It might break the prison bars It isn't hard to see why they keep her captive Shes naturally attractive Speaks with adlibs, shes uncommonly talented Ain't enough adjectives to do her disposition justice Kids are wishin' for just a kiss and it's a mission to touch her lipstick Can't trust her with Freedom of movement that's a chance to loose her quick If she ups and splits We might as well call that discussion quits If we's to keep her down the government's underlings Enslave people in this town especially if their culture's rich Exploiting talents making it do a bunch of tricks With the rest of the wingless imports Repeatedly told you ain't a fairy just a b**h Just a b**h, with a bu*t that's thick So rub your tits, and thrust your hips And s** my dick, and run your sh**, and run your sh**, and run your sh** (Chorus) Shes a fairy with broken wings I used to go watch her perform And if she hears me I hope she sings songs That had me going right back Couldn't find anyone in town to talk Bout how no one like that Should be confined to the ground (Verse Two) When I was down in New York she'd send me letters And I read her pa**ages about how I left her to the savages No matter how sad it is I didn't cry Cause it was only a matter of time Before they figured me out and tried to strip my pride I knew the scoop Wish you could've seen the blueprints in my eye When I flew the coop Utilizing overground railroads in the sky It was live or die let me let you in on the secret of mine Me and you are different girl We don't even need wings to fly We don't need wings to fly Me and you... we don't need wings to fly Keep on singing, give it a try, give it a try Just keep on singing, give it a try, give it a try (5x)
