Zion I
Caged Bird - [Social Revolution - Abolitionists USH]
[Chorus x2]
Searching for a better world
This ain't no game (this is not a game)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this is for my caged birds who's fighting just like me/
Daily and nightly, so beyond getting icy/
It's likely we'll never get out here/
But we don't care, keep my mind up there/
High above all the noise and pollution, the shootin'/
The robbin' and lootin' and the mind prostitution/
Got a problem sucker that y'all can't solve/
Looking deep into my mirror, let the thoughts revolve/
Like we're an orbit on the dark side of the moon/
I can't ignore it the second coming probably soon/
Everyday, as I lay, getting tuned with the boom/
the pain relief is too coon, check this out of my room/
But my mind go free so the galaxy blooms/
Like my momma told me pray to the greatest of jews/
Picture me, rolling out, I'm holding, take control of the script/
Off my back spread my wings, my spirit can live (live live live..)/
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2]
Ah, a voice rang in the emptiness/
the helplessness moan of wings that were never spread/
My song brings the evidence/
allowing me to sing what was never said/
Parrots look down on the pigeons who
Comb the streets for old trash to eat/
But my head's up I strut through this b**** cause My beak doesn't repeat my masters speech/
My feathers are your scholars ink pen/
They held their natives decorate their big men/
I represent strength and wisdom and even you can see freedom ring when my wings spread/
What is it about you that you have to capture/
That what you can not master/
If you can't grasp it you attack it/
trap it, slam it in a cage and latch it/
Everyday that you hold me in bars is another day I can't teach your soul to soar/
Here both of us are, link to this song/ and when you hear a caged bird, sing along//
[Chorus x2]
