[Javon]
 Open your eyes to individuals who look upon you as prey
 Like vultures in disguise  hovering over you like flies upon waste
 Realize...

 Chorus:

 [Javon]
 Vultures plotting on my demise
 Stool pigeons tell lies while the caged bird cries

 [Danja Mowf]
 Yo  But as long as the mighty eagle rules the skies
 Black men keep dropping like flies

 [J] I'm watched like a sparrow in some Godly eyes
 [D] Finding peace like the dove is a compromise
 [J] Yo, as long as the mighty eagle rules the skies
 [D] Black men keep dropping like flies

 [Danja Mowf]
 Yo, it's only right that I take flight
 (Where?) To the sky, floating like a black butterfly
 I try to make my migration plesant
 But living in the present gets you shot down like a pheasant
 The reason seems that every day is hunting season
 At least on the block where the black birds flock
 Some of these birds choose not to soar the sky
 They just stay in some shit, making them more like flies
 Day in and day out another one dies
 (I got it, another fly nigga got swatted)
 The time he was alotted it seems just ran out
 Or could it be the fact he didn't let his wings span out?
 Acting like a chicken scared to leave the coup
 Cause the chicken doesn't fly, he just stays with the group
 Chilling with a bunch of turkeys waiting for Thanksgiving
 If he had of flown South he might have kept on living cause

 Chorus

 .44's and popo's don't scare these pros
 In the nighttime ducking from constat shot bucking
 They stuck in fly paper, for making paper is fly
 Cause the eagle's on the paper, now you understand why?
 When the eagle rules the sky, many black men die
 Chasing eagles then get stabbed by the vultures nearby
 Reducing us like calories, shot down like ducks in shooting galleries
 Please freeze these mentalities
 That's holding you back from getting busy like bees
 In trees you rest, bulding your nest with cess
 Soothing your bird chest from chest, you've just buddha blessed
 Yes, every block or two them hoes will find a cock or two
 With no penis cap and get you caught in her venus trap
 Indeed, don't be dropping your bird seed
 Pollinating wild flowers, it's all in your power cause

 Chorus

 The caged bird sings but his songs get muffled
 Feathers get ruffled, it's a struggle in the everyday scuffle
 I tried to warn him about these snakes and cats
 They hardheaded like woodpeckers and they blind as bats
 That's the reason I keep preaching but you
 In denial like the owl always talking about "Who?"
 I should call you a parrot cause you act that way
 First arounf a bunch of niggers, repeating what they say
 Thinking that you're fly pimping around like a peacock
 But your turf, your whole earth consists of only three blocks
 Take them keylocks off of your mind
 Take a journey out of the ghetto just to see what you can find
 And like the raven said to Poe and only told him "Nevermore"
 If from your dome you never go then any more we'll never know
 See how some other guys live their lives, not like flies
 Realize your limit ain't the skies
