I Know Why The Birds Sing Lyrics

Ridin' in the city like I own it

Yea like I own this shit

Live & die in the city yea I'm on it

Lookin' at everybody like they an opponent

28 winters yea nigga this the coldest

Wake up nigga smell the folgers

I'm tryin' out here yea these niggas they ain't notice

They gon' wait til a nigga gone to give a nigga roses

Mine still waitin' on the throne

Playin' ring around the rosie

Came a long way from sittin' in the nosebleeds

I ain't going back to the old me

Only god knows why I feel this pain

I been outside tryna feel the rain

If the cops catch me then I plead insane

They gon' have to kill me 'fore I leave the game

I know why the birds sing in the cage

I been in the cage

Yea Yea

On my side, yea the tree's bigger

And the rivers swimming with fish

Better watch your ass 'fore you get hit

Live by the code, by the regiment

All black trucks like the president

I create the wave, now they sea sick

If the cops catch me I ain't seen shit

My teachers always said I wouldn't be shit

The OGs told me I'ma be rich

Now I'm in the middle

Forget to live a little

Foot on the pedal

Got that heavy metal

I'ma never settle

Dancin' with the devil

Pray we live forever

Swerving in a rental

Say a nigga mental

Birds of a feather

We gon' flock together, We gon' sing together

Ridin' in the city like I own it

Yea like I own this shit

Live & die in the city yea I'm on it

Lookin' at everybody like they an opponent

28 winters yea nigga this the coldest

Wake up nigga smell the folgers

I'm tryin' out here yea these niggas they ain't notice

They gon' wait til a nigga gone to give a nigga roses

Mine still waitin' on the throne

Playin' ring around the rosie

Came a long way from sittin' in the nosebleeds

I ain't going back to the old me

Only god knows why I feel this pain

I been outside tryna feel the rain

If the cops catch me then I plead insane

They gon' have to kill me 'fore I leave the game

I know why the birds sing in the cage

I been in the cage

Yea Yea
