Songbird Lyrics by Shorty-G

2019

[Verse 1]
Don’t think I'll ever go to the Grammy’s
(Shit)
I mean I might go once
But after that once is enough
They don’t really sound like fun
A bunch of artists
In the same room
Fighting over jewels to put in they tombs
Suckin huh
Just to get inna room
Thanks for the nomination
But I’m cool
[Chorus 1]
The fish does not climb up the tree
It knows what it can be
The children cry
Not when the sun shines
But when the diamond rings
You stand so far behind me
That my circles not complete
The song bird sings
For royalties
Diamond chain;
Let freedom ring
[Verse 2}
What’s the use of saying
The Bible is fabricated
Niggas still gone read it
What’s use the of saying keep it 100
Niggas ain’t gone keep it
What’s the use of showing your niggas
Your painting
Niggas ain’t gone see
What’s the use of giving the ghetto
Clean air
If niggas ain’t gone breathe it
These are the lies that we tell ourselves
Under the name of protecting self
Nah we don’t mean to project ourselves but
It happens with quickness
The more we delve
Use your feelings
Like
Ikea shelves
Pile on thoughts
And the demons
And Keebler elves
Till yo nigga ask if you want a cookie
And it crashes down like
'06 Shaquille
[Bridge 1]
Dirty dirty
Turtle doves
My heart is flowing
With your love
Dirty dirty
Turtledove
Be my, valentine
From above
[Chorus 2]
The fish does not climb up the tree
It knows what it can be
The children cry
Not when the sun shines
But when the diamond rings
You stand so far behind me
That my circles not complete
The song bird sings
For royalties
Diamond chain;
Let freedom ring
[Verse 3]
I said the Bible is fabricated
That don’t mean I don’t believe in God
I just find it kinda odd
All of the people upholdin'
The facade
King James wrote The Bible
The old and The New Testament
Massa done forced it on us, and
We’ve seen few blessings since
They don’t see the correlation
Nat Turner birthed a Nation
White Jesus coronated
Makin' the white man a God
Makin' a slave just a job
Got us thinkin'
We finally get to rest
If you suffer nonstop
Waiting on the other shoe to drop
(Fuck y’all)
[Bridge 1]
Dirty dirty
Turtle doves
My heart is flowing
With your love
Dirty dirty
Turtledove
Be my, valentine
From above
[Chorus 3]
The fish does not climb up the tree
It knows what it can be
The children cry
Not when the sun shines
But when the diamond rings
You stand so far behind me
That my circles not complete
The song bird sings
For royalties
Diamond chain;
Let freedom ring
