Yeah, yeah, alright So my voice could, uh The beat could come down a tiny tiny bit, and my voice could come up a lot (I can't) Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah I can't be no bird in a cage My bad, I don't run away, no We got the juice, we got the crew Momma always told me don't waste your time I can't be no bird in a cage My bad, I don't run away, no Knock on wood, it's gon' be a long night Stay movin' forward, don't waste yourself Yeah, stay movin' forward and elevate from the floor And the old you had big drive, the new you drive like Delorean Until you do more than luring The future's important, they tell me do what you can Man, I'ma do it like Jordan Gotta check myself, momma Told me, just like old Morgan, Freeman A caged bird sings a song for freedom Goin' borderline crazy thinkin' 'bout the children Michael Jackson told us all, get off the wall, back then Ain't no strings, like Tito, no puppet, Danny DeVito It's your idle time, get you nowhere, less you Burino I ain't a new slave, my new wave, the new negro Ain't on the web, but it's W. E. B, key holes unlock 'em No thinkin' toxic, you mis-educated, like Lauryn with the 'locks in If you confuse my boxin' with me being boxed in (never) It's my native language, ain't gotta say it in Moccasins Whatever I be rockin' in, I speak the truth, like 222 times 2, yeah That's 444, better than before Be three times the lady like we sang in Commodores Knowin' I can't, I can't I can't be no bird in a cage My bad, I don't run away, no We got the juice, we got the crew Momma always told me don't waste your time I can't be no bird in a cage My bad, I don't run away, no Knock on wood, it's gon' be a long night Stay movin' forward, don't waste yourself I can't be no bird in a cage (I can't be that) Can't let emotions hold me prison to rage (I can't do that) Every time they pop off, I don't even engage (I can't say that) Knowin' if I act up, I ain't actin' my age (I don't play that) Some days are Morpheus, other times I'm just like Trey Which means, some days I need savin', other times I wear the cape They tell me in due time, when even babies come late So I'm go for mine 'cause I ain't got none to waste Born ready, like I came out in some cleats, double laced To run the world with, they tell me it's gon' be a long way (it's a long way) Knock on wood that we make it through the day (that's a long day) I ain't the one to cross, I left that burden to Lecrae I got a plot for every block, until I'm king like Luke Cage It's super, that's my word, the only time the two relate (a caged bird) So many many many moves to make And I approach 'em like Michael on a Motown stage (hee hee) I walked the moon before I walk the graves all day Delay nuttin' sista you ain't got no time to waste, singin' (I can't) You can't what?
