| Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
|
| I’m strugglin' but I’m searchin' for a better day
|
| I know I can make it
|

|
| Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
|

|
| Uhh
|
| When I was a boy, I had to be a man
|
| When they told me «I couldn’t», I told 'em that «I can»
|
| It’s God’s plan, the way that things done panned out
|
| I got my life off the stress, so ain’t no need to pout
|
| The choir sing and the missionaries shout
|
| But, when that church organ plays, that’s when my tears get to pourin' out
|
| Just a kid from the soil, tryna prosper
|
| Tired of hearing gunshots and sirens and helicopters
|
| Grew up around killers, villains and robbers
|
| Drug dealers, con artists and slick talkers
|
| They say that if you got talent, you 'posed to use it
|
| All my life, I’ve been around music
|
| Played the drums in elementary, all the way through twelfth
|
| Start rappin' in seventh grade, now I got records on the shelf
|
| Hard work, dedication, intestinal fortitude
|
| A real hustler out the hood, determined to be that dude
|
| We didn’t get everything in our Christmas bag that other kids had
|
| But whatever we had, we was glad
|
| Uhh, God is good and I’m okay with being underrated
|
| No matter what they think about me, man I made it
|
| Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
|
| I’m strugglin' but I’m searchin' for a better day
|
| I know I can make it
|
| I know I can make it
|
| Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
|
| I’m strugglin' but I’m searchin' for a better day
|
| I know I can make it
|
| I know I can make it
|
| I’m Suga-T, I’ve been often underestimated
|
| A chick in the game, gotta carry her weight, or she’ll get slated
|
| I was a teen mom, an ugly duckling grown a swan
|
| But to this very day, I remain a hip hop mom (Yeah)
|
| Didn’t always make the best choices, but that’s okay
|
| I still hold the title «The Queen of The Bay»
|
| It was only God’s grace that I’m still alive (Still alive)
|
| 'Cause to be a boss lady you gotta pay the price (Pay the price)
|
| I used to be quick to pull a lick, quick to check a trick
|
| I messed around and found out that rappin' was one of my gifts (Uh huh)
|
| Legendary, I make history still
|
| I could take the pimpstress route, or I could pay my own bills (Yeah)
|
| I know that I can make it, even though they’re player hatin' (Uh huh)
|
| Eventually, they’ll be congratulatin', uh huh
|
| Cash rules everything around but game is priceless
|
| And when we die, we better hope we make the right list
|
| Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
|
| I’m strugglin' but I’m searchin' for a better day
|
| I know I can make it
|
| I know I can make it
|

|
| I’m strugglin' but I’m searchin' for a better day
|
| I know I can make it
|
| I know I can make it
|
| I know I can make it through these hard times
|
| I fall on my knees and cry after callin' a friend of mine
|
| He’s through the storm and the rain
|
| As them tears drop down your cheek he’ll ease the pain
|
| My God,
|
| But joy comes in the morning, you gonna make it through the night
|
| When it’s dark in your life, look towards God, 'cause He’s the light that
|
| shines bright
|
| continue to fight the good fight
|
| 'Cause faith, the things we hope for
|
| When hard times come, that’s God knockin' at your door
|
| Reminding us all to fall on our knees and pray
|
| To give us hope, to let us know there’s a brighter day
|
| Sunshine after the rain
|
| Joy comin' right after the pain
|
| It’s Agerman, E-40 and Suga-T, y’all know
|
| We all go through hard times
|
| But we gonna make it out fo' sho'
