Like the Birds

[Intro: Mark G]
They been talking 'bout me
I just let it slide
Take their criticism
Put it to the side
I fly through the night
Got everything that I need
Lost out of sight
There ain't nobody catching me

[Verse 1: Mark G]
I done gave up a lot, man I really have
I took shot to shot, some of them fired back
That's how this game of life will go
If you don't take a risk, how you gonna ever know
If it had worked out? Go and take a leap
Make another memory that you can have to keep
I done had it hard but I made it through the weeds
Now we going really far so they can't tell me, can't tell mе nothing

[Bridge: Mark G]
I'ma flap my wings
I'ma take a look back at all of these days
Thе months and the weeks, yeah

[Chorus: Mark G]
Yeah it's been a long ride, I might
Go and set off the fire
I've felt so alive
Can't get any higher
'Cause we living like the birds now
We don't have a limit
Yeah, we living like the birds now
Not wasting a minute

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Had some people try to trim my wings
They were tryna make a caged bird sing
They knew I would find the truth outside
So they shut that window while they fed me lies
I'm done with living way below potential
Way they tried to box me in was mental
Captive to the ones that never tried to fly
I'ma flap my wings
Get a bird's-eye view of the world outside
Finally make sense of the whole damn ride
Will I finally rise?

[Chorus: Mark G]
Yeah it's been a long ride, I might
Go and set off the fire
I've felt so alive
Can't get any higher
'Cause we living like the birds now
We don't have a limit
Yeah, we living like the birds now
Not wasting a minute
