lirik lagu tobe nwigwe & lanell grant - caged birds (sio version)

[intro: jordan & tobe nwigwe]
you know, like, sometimes when i cry, i won’t know how i’m feeling or why i’m crying. so, it’s just… is it okay to cry or is it not okay?
it’s harder for us to express our feelings because we’re taught young to, uh, bottle them up and be tough

[verse 1: tobe]
look, i spit a verse so a horde of heathens can find the light
but keep a _____ that tear tissue like it’s time to wipe
don’t fret, my first step ain’t to resign ya life
plus that ____ fye, don’t bar until it’s time to bite
h~ll once you find a wife, you do what you must do
to protect her and keep her up off a stretcher ’til she due
to havе a baby, glad a lady came up to me and said
“congratulations, don’t come to thosе rather lazy instead of hard working”
we all searching for affirmation
some sheeple wander the atlas for validation
and valid statements from those who never will validate ’em
i pray i navigate ’em to a fortress where congregating with angels is the norm
you pray and they perform
immaculate miracles to help you evade the storm
of vipers, snipers, and every wicked form
of evil that’s been tryna deceive you since you was born
with ya heavens sent melanin
don’t let ’em convince you that ya etiquettes’ a speech impediment
i’m in my element and feel benevolent even when i’m viewed as the elephant
in every residence i’m stepping in but h~ll i ain’t trippin’
aye mayne, say mayne, flow nuts macadamia
i’m from the city of purple spitting vibranium
get it in your cranium, can’t n0body simba him
and if i ever go down it’ll be like swingin’ like pendulums
[interlude 1: tobe]
let me just be honest, like so like a month ago my dad told me for the very first time ever in his life
that he loved me
and w~watch this
it, it threw him off so much when he said it
that he had to say it, and then just hang up the phone
like he said it quick like, i was like, “all right, dad, i’m a holler at you, uh peace.”
he said, “okay, love you. bye.”
and i said, “hold on, hold on, hold on.”

[chorus: tobe nwigwe]
we come from where most don’t break free
we had to learn why caged birds sing
but we fly even though they poisoned the sky
we don’t cry, we gon’ take our piece of the pie

[verse 2: lanell grant]
so i’ma need my bread hot fresh and ready
for those who tried to keep me on ice like a yeti
the west be where they pressed me to a diamond
that’s why i throw it up like the heimlich
i’m just maneuvering on the serpent’s head
swear i tread on the skull of my enemies
and i’m quadrupling anything that i touch
if it’s milk and honey dummy, i’m the honey bee buzzin’
you can see the pure pollination
need g’s like masons and a haven
for these beats i freak on the daily
i lose sleep putting feet to the pavement
and grindin’ like a power tool or axe
refinin’ everything i do on wax
my time is near and i refuse to lack
the shine which only a diamond can match
bling, bling (bling, bling)
[interlude 2: tobe]
but how i grew up is…
my dad and, because his dad did the same thing to him
uh, like the emotional boy wasn’t’ really there with them
but they felt like “if i provide for you, like i feed you. you should know i love you. i ain’t gotta say it
i said, “all right, dad. i just wanted to say i love you too

[chorus: tobe nwigwe]
we come from where most don’t break free
we had to learn why caged birds sing
but we fly even though they poisoned the sky
we don’t cry, we gon’ take our piece of the pie
