K Roosevelt：

Yeah yeah alright

So my voice could uh

The beat could come down a tiny tiny bit

And my voice could come up a lot

I can't

Yeah yeah yeah-yeah

Yeah yeah yeah-yeah yeah

I can't be no bird in a cage Woo woo

My bad I don't wanna wait no

We got the juice we got the proof

Mama always told me don't waste your time

I can't be no bird in a cage Woo woo

My bad I don't wanna wait no

Knock on wood it's gon' be a long night

Stay movin' forward don't waste your soul

Rapsody：

Yeah stay movin' forward and elevate from the floor

And the old you had big drive

The new you drive like Delorean

Until you do more than Lauryn Yeah

The future's important they tell me do what you can

Man I'ma do it like Jordan That's right

Gotta check myself Mama

Told me just like old Morgan free man Free man

A caged bird sings a song for freedom Freedom

Goin' borderline crazy thinkin' 'bout the children

Michael Jackson told us all get off the wall back then

Ain't no strings like Tito no puppet Danny DeVito

It's your idle time get you nowhere unless you Burrino C'mon

I ain't a new slave my new wave the new negro

Ain't on the web but it's W E B

Key holes unlocked 'em Uh

No thinkin' toxic That's right

You mis-educated like Lauren with the 'locs in

If you confuse my boxin' with me being boxed in Never

It's my native language ain't gotta say it in moccasins

Whatever I be rockin' in I speak the truth

I speak the truth

Like 222 times 2 Yeah that's 4 44

Better than before Yeah c'mon

Be three times the lady like we sangin' Commodores

Knowin' I can't I can't

My bad I don't wanna wait no

Knock on wood it's gon' be a long night

Stay movin' forward don't waste your soul

Rapsody：

I can't be no bird in a cage I can't be that

Can't let emotions hold me prison to rage

I can't do that

Everytime they pop off I don't even engage

I can't say that

Knowin' if I act up I ain't actin' my age

I don't play that

Some days are Morpheus other times I'm just like Trey

Which means some days I need saving'

Other days I wear the cape Yeah

They tell me in due time when even babies come late

Talk about it

So I'm go for mine 'cause I ain't got none to waste

That's right

Born ready like I came out in some cleats double laced

To run the world with

They tell me it's gon' be a long way

It's a long way

Knock on wood that we make it through the day

That's a long day

I ain't the one to cross I left that burden to Lecrae

I got a plot for every block

Until I'm King like Luke Cage

It's Sue Bird that's my word

The only time the two relate A caged bird

So many many many moves to make Yeah

And I approach 'em like Michael on the Motown stage Hee hee

I walk the moon before I walk the graves all day C'mon

Delay nuttin' sista you ain't got no time to waste singing'
