Lyrics for Song: Let Me Fly
Lyrics for Album: It's Dark and Hell Is Hot [1998]
If you love something let it go, if it comes back to you it's yours.
If it doesn't, it never was
Hold me down, baby.
Chorus:
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, thake my breath
If I don't fly, I'ma die anyway.
I'ma live on but I'll be gone any day.
(repeat)
Hold me down.
Niggas wanna know me now
Didn't want to play with me, wanted to show me how.
No meow
It's all about the bark.
Let the dog loose, baby. It's abou tto spark
Light up the night, like the 4th of July
Niggas know, when I let go, niggas die
If it's why and you don't know, you slow
Like Baltimore, if you ain't trying to go, you blow.
I soak up all the pain and accept it in silence
When I let go it's violence, 'cause the wildest
is the dog barking up the tree for the cat
In the fog but all y'all nigga see is the bat
Flappin' away, but I'm blind like Stevie
Niggas don't hear me, still tryin' to see me
Stop being greedy, ya heard what I said
Let me go, let me flow, or I'm dead
Chorus
I sold my soul to the devil, and the price was cheap
And yo, it's cold on this level, 'cause it's twice as deep
But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss and so on
Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb
Shall I go on?
You on the real, what the deal? It's a mystery
How is it I can live and make history?
If you don't see it, then it wasn't meant for you to see.
If you wasn't born with it, it wasn't meant for you to be.
But you can't blame me for not wanting to be held
Locked down in a cell where the soul can't dwell
If this is hell, call me the devil and give me the key.
For it can't be worse than the curse that was given to me
It's what i live for, you take away that and I'm gone
There's a difference between doing wrong and being wrong
And that ain't right
Just keep it fair, baby
Put me in the air and I'll take it there, baby
Chorus
I'ma flow regardless because I'm an artist until I'm trapped
I'ma continue to hit the hardest whether I scrap or rap
Give me death but you ain't my friend
I see it in your eyes, you contimplate my end
You waitin' for that bend in the road, where you were told
That you would go, when you were old
And if you died young, it was cold
Sold!
Not for nearlywhat it was worth
Thinkd back twenty-six years, be like what if his birth
Was a miscarriage and I never existed?
Have I given something that if taken away you would've missed it?
Don't know, but I persisted
It was the call of the wild
I mearly say what's in my heart, and you call it a style
Don't put it on a cage
Don't mistreat it
You say you hnunger for knowledge?
Here it is, eat it
Another song completed is another thought captured
Let me do my think I got it locked wit' this rap shit.
