Let Me Fly

I been hurt, but I don't hold no grudge
At least I could say I was loved
Cause I been loved
And when that day come that I get judged
Believe me baby, I won't budge
Baby, I won't budge
I been hurt, but I don't hold no grudge
At least I could say I was loved
And then we live, and then we die
Sometimes we fall, and then we fly
Lord, let me fly

God knows, I wasn't ready for this one
God knows, I wasn't ready to miss ya
From the cracks of concrete
Comes a rose who started out
On the concrete of the crack
And we rolled out had beans coming up
I suppose that's what drove us
To dream and pakc things in our clothes
Could tell that Pops was a feend, and I know
Told mama "I don't wanna be that
Please don't let me be that"
She cryed and said "Baby be strong"
Thank you mama, you raised a man on your own
I love that pops came around though
He said I gotta let the streets raise me
I ain't mad, look how the streets made me
All the game that the streets gave me
It's up to me, we gon eat, baby
I miss Mike, and the way it used to be, maybe
That's the reason that I beast
On these beats lately
I know you still here with me

I been hurt, but I don't hold no grudge
At least I could say I was loved
Cause I been loved
And when that day come that I get judged
Believe me baby, I won't budge
Baby, I won't budge
I been hurt, but I don't hold no grudge
At least I could say I was loved
And then we live, and then we die
Sometimes we fall, and then we fly
Lord, let me fly

I woke up on the wrong side of the sofa
Be like rollercoasters rolling over
Sun up, I'm at it mom was a soldier
It's like she embarrased about
How I growed up see Pop wasn't around, but
When he was around, he was slanging pounds
And him and mom fight
In the middle of the night
I swore I'd never strike a woman that I love
Or a woman that I like, never in my life
Especially my wife
So right here, in this momant, right here
Right hand on my heart
I sware this coming from the heart
Stearing through the trentches
I ain't even tryna stop
Tryna take it straight to the top
I'm tryna take you to places where
It's hot in the winter
I remember serial for breakfast
Serial for dinner you made it extra special
I ain't even trippin
You raised you a man quickly i love you, ma

I been hurt, but I don't hold no grudge
At least I could say I was loved
Cause I been loved
And when that day come that I get judged
Believe me baby, I won't budge
Baby, I won't budge
I been hurt, but I don't hold no grudge
At least I could say I was loved
And then we live, and then we die
Sometimes we fall, and then we fly
Lord, let me fly
