Yeah

This is the new millennium

That's right (that's right)

And the game ain't changed a bit

It ain't changed a bit

Uh uh

Listen

Got a little something to tell ya

Oh right



If I could fly

Probably woulda been a lil taller

Maybe even playing for the Raiders

I don't really know I can't call it

We deal with what the good Lord gave us

He told me go and holla at your people

He said to wait up late at night (late at night)

Go get your favourite pen and your notebook

And I'm gon tell you what to write



If I could fly (if I could fly)

I promise life would be a lot better, baby (be a lot better, baby)

If I could blow

Like the wind

Across the city I go (across the city I go)

Up in the sky (up in the sky)

I swear the pain is for the living, baby (living baby)

But I can't fly, uh uh

And you can't fly

So we gon have to work it out



First off, we gon eliminate Congress

Bring back Bob Marley to be King, oh yeah

We shutting down San Quentin and Towers

Give all the homies jobs and a hundred g's

Close up all the public housing

Everybody get a crib on the hill

Split it up five students to every teacher

Now we gon get some education, that's real



If I could fly (if I could fly)

I promise life would be a lot better, baby (it would be a whole lot better, baby)

If I could blow (if I could blow)

Like the wind

Across the city I go (oh, I go)

Up in the sky (in the sky)

I swear the pain is for the living, baby (for the living baby)

But I can't fly, uh uh (I can't fly)

And you can't fly (you can't fly)

So we gon have to work it out



No more getting it on the corner

The day my friend when hustling is dead

We wouldn't have to kill each other

Cos everyone would have enough bread

A child would find a cure to cancer

And give it to everybody for free

We wouldn't even notice the colour of our skin

I wouldn't hate you, you wouldn't hate me, oh



If I could fly

I promise life would be a lot better, baby (I promise life would be a whole lot better, baby)

If I could blow

Like the wind

Across the city I go

Up in the sky (up in the sky)

I swear the pain is for the living, baby (for the living baby)

But I can't fly, uh uh

And you can't fly (oh, you can't fly)

So we gon have to work it out



Work it out

Work it out

We gon have to work it out



Spread my wings

Spread my wings

Spread my wings and fly



Spread my wings

Spread my wings

Spread my wings and fly



If I could fly (if I could fly)

I promise life would be a lot better, baby

If I could blow

Like the wind

Across the city I go (across the city I go)

Up in the sky (in the sky)

I swear the pain is for the living, baby (for the living baby)

But I can't fly, uh uh (I can't fly)

And you can't fly (you can't fly)

So we gon have to work it out



If I could fly

I promise life would be a lot better, baby

If I could blow

Like the wind

Across the city I go

Up in the sky (in the sky)

I swear the pain is for the living, baby

But I can't fly, uh uh

And you can't fly (can't fly)

So we gon have to work it out



Yeah
