Fly Away |
| Free City |
| This is a shout out to every young brother ya know |
| Thats doin his thing right now |
| Keep ya head up. |
| He’s walkin the yard wishin he had wings |
| Ya know so he could fly up out that joint |
| Man |
| If I could, fly away |
| Ooo 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 its 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 niggas can’t eat if the fish don’t bite |
| My raise the gross sales, like Mike and Ike |
| Now big brother almighty |
| I keep a gamma ray, I’mma G-5 G |
| Take a G-5 jeep, G-5 deep |
| Too some of their bare feet |
| And that jeep don’t speak |
| Listen mayne they lock it down round herre |
| See body bag and gag and your found round herre |
| This as serious as it sound round herre |
| The guards guard the ground, 4 pounds round herre |
| And they ain’t playin, they’re just lettin you know |
| That anything they want to happen, make it happen real slow |
| Get the word from upstairs, put you in that hole |
| I can’t take it, I’m just ready to go |
| If I could, fly away |
| Ooo 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 its still the longest yard |
| Yeah yeah, it’s still the longest yard |
| Uh uh, it’s still the longest yard |
| Um um, it’s still the longest yard |
| I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far (this far) |
| I’m in my cell 20 hours a day |
| And doin push-ups ever hour a day |
| Cause im tryin to keep the cowards away |
| Thats why im markin off the calendar days |
| Tryin to get it out of the way |
| And im just tryin to keep a peace of mind |
| And im gonna shank a motherfucker with a piece of mine |
| Cause he tryin to take a piece of mine |
| So im gon slice his ass a piece at a time |
| But now that they close the door |
| Lock me in and cell 30 deep but its built for 10 |
| Tell me what kind of world they got you in |
| When the barbed wire fences box you in |
| From now, til they turn off the lights |
| I’mma read everything in sight |
| Its kinda hard tryin to read at night |
| But I’mma change my life |
| And help another brother take this flight |
| If I could, fly away |
| Ooo 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 its still the longest yard |
| Yeah yeah, it’s still the longest yard |
| Uh uh, it’s still the longest yard |
| Um um, it’s still the longest yard |
| I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far (this far) |
| (Oohh no) I gotta make it out this place some how |
| (Oohh no) Man I really believe that I done turned it around |
| (Oohh no) You see, all I need is that second chance to show |
| Since incarceration, my obligation of rehabilitation |
| (Oohh no) They can punch me high, and they can kick me low |
| (Oohh no) Spit on me its gonna take more than that for them to break my soul, |
| I said |
| (Oohh no) Man its hard for people to understand what its like to be |
| Gated, incarcerated, I just can’t take it |
| But I’mma make it man to see better days |
| If I could, fly away |
| Ooo 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 its still the longest yard |
| Yeah yeah, it’s still the longest yard |
| Uh uh, it’s still the longest yard |
| Um um, it’s still the longest yard |
| I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far (this far) |
| If I could fly away |
| If I could I turn around |
| If I could fly away |
| If I could I turn around |
