Birdsong Lute (Ft. JID & Saba)

[Chorus: Lute]
Live how I wanna 'cause I’m freer than a birdsong
Life's a challenge, so for balance, had to right some wrongs
Live how I wanna 'cause I’m freer than a birdsong
Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong
Life's a challenge, so for balance, had to right some wrongs
Live how I wanna 'cause I'm freer than a birdsong

[Post-Chorus: JID]
A pretty little bird on my doorstep awoke me
I open my eyes to a place I don't know yet
But been once before, yesterday in a moment
Rememberin' times I was loveless and lonely, damn

[Verse 1: Lute]
Government done sent the stimulus
Donated it to Black kids or mental illness
Diamond necklace don’t determine realness
I’m just rappin' ’til I'm somewhere chillin'
Feet in this feelin', I need for healin’
Rap shit don't be appealin' to me no more
Pedal to floor like Scat Packs at the intersection
Don't look back 'cause you might miss a blessin'
Catch me in the city bendin' blocks like we playin' tetris
Been that nigga since an adolescent
I done learned some lessons
Come back better like I never fail
Manifest my future like a wishing well
Married to the game, but I don't kiss and tell
We don't talk as much, but I still wish you well
Roll up my sleeves like I do my heart
Kites fly higher with a runnin' start
Niggas tryna down me like I'm Tony Stark
I be more like Clark without the cape
But with a gold tooth
Nigga just be you 'cause all that fake shit gon' expose through
Shawty say she cold, my heart cold, too
I be layin' low, but I still roll through
Get it how you live and that's the cold truth
Birds of a feather flock together, me and my dawgs flew
Shit cost me more than it cost you
Collect my coin, then I'ma dip off
Niggas can't be me, so they be pissed off
Imagine how they face look when I lift off
Niggas think it's givin', but that shit cost
