Rise up Rise up Fly little bird Don’t say goodbye Nothing to be scared of When the wind takes you high Fly little bird Can you sing my name Home is where the heart is Can you take me on Take me on your wings Life's an open-ended essay Don’t worry about the ending Cause when you think it’s finished There’s a glorious addendum The more you hate on someone else The more you’re just pretending Even though it’s been a decade Our story is just beginning And as long as I am winning As long as God is willing I’ll probably still be spittin’ in my 40’s or my 50’s Or as long as I’m appealing Thinking back when I was just a shorty I was picky with my music Didn’t really play my verses round my city My recordings sounded shitty But those are songs I’ll be enjoying when I’m sixty Kentucky was a mystery On the border of the Dixie This recording industry knows we important to the history (Damn right) Brag until my brain hits till I’m seventy or eighty Turned around the seven seas and wasn’t ever in the navy Bring the lightning and the thunder Turning ninety then a hundred Then return into the cloud Thinking life was so abundant Fly little bird Don’t say goodbye Nothing to be scared of When the wind takes you high Fly little bird Can you sing my name Home is where the heart is Can you take me on Take me on your wings Life’s good I got no complaints While I toke we're Reflecting at this window pane It’s most insane Everyday try not to go insane 90 in the slowest lane Numb like it’s Novocain No gain No pain Life’s a poker game I’m playing chess Nappy Roots across the chest Back the Country Fried Cess Bless Ever since I left the nest Been flying high Everyday I must confess I ain’t got regrets
