[Hook]
People used to say one day you gone be somebody
I'm just waiting for my time
People used to say one day you gone somebody
I'm starting to think it's a lie

[Bridge]
I hate to be he who constantly wants to leave this life
I know the truth to my - destiny, I'm just, wondering why?
I hate to see my family and all those who know of me cry
I had no wings for a while, and now that I got 'em I just want to fly


[Verse 1]
Trials and tribulations
My denial is almost instant
Did God love my brother more?
Is that why he took him before I was born?
Protecting him from being scorn
Over here under pressure bout to pop like a corn
And everyday that I yearn; for the day that I am mourned
I wonder if I’ll ever get what I deserve


[Hook]
People used to say one day you gone be somebody

[Bridge]
I hate to be he who constantly wants to leave this life
I know the truth to my - destiny, I'm just, wondering why?
I hate to see my family and all those who know of me cry

[Verse 2]
Dear God do you hear me, I know you can
I’m down here trying to be better man
I know life is hard, I just don’t understand
When I’ll ever get my chance
To feel the glory of the pain
To feel worth of my weight
To feel the happiness it’s takes
To see it awake; after all the blood, sweat, bruise and scrapes

Had no wings for a while, now that I got em
I just want to fly
