MOCKINGBIRD Lyrics by Jai Winter

AFTER THE SNOWFALL

2024

[Chorus:]
Stop running with the same birds
You know how the saying goes
Listen here, made it clear
All that glitters ain’t gold
Stop running with the same birds
You know how the saying goes
Listen here, made it clear
All that glitters ain’t gold
Stop running with the same birds
You know how the saying goes
Listen here, made it clear
All that glitters ain’t gold
Stop running with the same birds
You know how the saying goes
Listen here, made it clear
All that glitters ain’t gold

[Verse 1:]
I don’t be sleeping around
I know that’s how you get down
Gеtting caught up in ya lies
It’s not a surprise, you need me around
Had to pick mysеlf up from the ground
Everyone watching and standing around
Feel like I’m fighting this battle alone
Soon as I come home
They sticking around
Never accustom to faking a smile
Don’t throw me the ring after watching me drown
They only gon sing about me when I’m deep in the ocean
Just hoping I’m finally down
Never deserving a crown
Feel myself bottoming out
I’m downing the bottles until they run out
The image of me that you seek ain’t the one to believe if it’s coming from somebody else
I got this target engraved in my back
Ain’t no point in running they know where I’m at
Every time I start running my asthma attack
I’m exhaling the bs with every breathe
Now they follow the leader
I’m leading the pack
Getting tired of enemies holding me back
It’s always been me when I’m versing the world
Cause the world doesn’t know when I’m pushing it back

[Verse 2:]
To tell you the truth
I was waiting on you till I seen all the birds that be flocking ya group
I ain’t mocking the group
But its true how the birds of a feather be out here just rocking the coop
The kids in my city be ready to shoot
Just put down the gun
Lil bro this ain’t you
Our father’s been locked up inside of the yard for a minute
He ain’t a reflection of you
You ain’t a product of healthy environments
I ain’t gon lie to ya
Imma be honest
I carry the burden so you never feel what we had to endure
Other side of the door was a war that was brewing before you were born
I was torn between two
When I hit 24, I was closing that door
Started dropping that weight
I was tired of waiting to get off the porch
Every step that I make
Every breathe that I take
It’s a blessing to wake up and see a new day
Imma clean up the parks so the children can play
Imma clear every yard and get rid of the snakes
Imma get me house and just sit by the gate
I might get me a boat and go sit on a lake
I been living my life for the better
The struggle don’t matter
I’m doing whatever it takes

[Chorus:]
Stop running with the same birds
You know how the saying goes
Listen here, made it clear
All that glitters ain’t gold
Stop running with the same birds
You know how the saying goes
Listen here, made it clear
All that glitters ain’t gold
Stop running with the same birds
You know how the saying goes
Listen here, made it clear
All that glitters ain’t gold
Stop running with the same birds
You know how the saying goes
Listen here, made it clear
All that glitters ain’t gold
