lyrics

Shorty said she got a girl but she still took my number
I never called her I'm too busy trying to up my numbers
Account is fucked up I'm fucked up tired sleeping on the floor
Never understood how niggas could sleep with the TV on
Had that shit on volume 80 no this shit ain't all gravy
I woke up with headaches staying quiet and going crazy
Survived on top ramen hype blunts and dollar coffees
Got some distance from niggas talking a whole lot of nothing
Never doubted you energy low from trying to carry you
Got way too much respect for myself so I'm not mad at you
Fact is, I had to make some decisions switch up locations
Hit my brother line anytime he answered family's amazing
Can't say the same for niggas them niggas know who they are
I never quit stayed on my shit and played my part
Never switching roles they trying to control my soul
All I know is moving forward and taking care of my goals

You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm too high
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm to fly, facts
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm too high
Yo I tried to clip his wings
That didn't do a thing
Bet tomorrow he won't sing
Yeah, right

Cause I been tied up like laces champs halfway off the bed
Higher than the clouds above staring at the roof over my head
Close my eyes imagine more hunger pains never end
You got me good cut me deep ambition pours out my veins
Damn I been all alone doing the most on my own
I been chasing too late discovered the bank was closed
Trying to figure this matrix puzzled like cross words
One wrong turn at the cross roads could leave me sun scorched
Like eggs on sidewalks serving wake and bakes early morn
My line was jumping before now it's dry as a bone
With every fiber in my body you'd think I'd shit on niggas
No talking I'd rather let my pen draw the bigger picture
See when I write I sort of view it as a scripture
But some opposed to religion they flip the script like motion pictures
My flows consist of potency I can't hold me back
Me giving up on myself nah I don't remember that

You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm too high
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm to fly, facts
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm too high
Yo I tried to clip his wings
That didn't do a thing
Bet tomorrow he won't sing
Yeah, right

They fail to see I foresaw
Long before I got my shit together face puzzled kind of like jigsaw
Believe in myself a thousand percent paying rent
Chasing my dreams as well as my responsibilities
Before I must've been tripping yeah you caught me off guard
But I had to play it back like this track is Oh My God
I'm on the train you couldn't walk this terrain
Need to express that this local locomotive got me going insane
But I'm working on my patience like a therapy session
The cup is half full just gotta change your perspective
Simmer down level up make a run for the checking
I can't buy my way to heaven but I could purchase a blessing
Love don't cost a thing still pretty expensive
I feel like I'm rambling hopefully you understand it
I've been up I stayed down right now I'm too high
But I keep myself grounded til it's time to take that flight like

You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm too high
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm to fly, facts
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
You can't clip my wings
Why? I'm too high
Yo I tried to clip his wings
That didn't do a thing
Bet tomorrow he won't sing
Yeah, right
