Free as a Bird in the sky

I was never meant to be caged 

My thoughts were never meant to be imprisoned 

Therefore I speak my mind and do as I please 

Cause not one of you can restrain me 

Physically I might be a slave to my enemies 

Mentally I am a former king still vying for the throne he was relieved of 

Sacrificing my life to raising my seed 

She shall be a queen of a good man’s household 

Not a great man, but a good man 

A man that doesn’t feel as if he should overpower the power my little girl possesses 

A man that understand the plan of his maker 

I’ve witnessed how a man can scam the very thought of being good 

Gambling away livelihoods just to try to live like the rich family on the block 

Or emulate the wealth our parents acquired, I want to do better 

Not a one up but a steady come up 

They never see you till you’ve arrived and by that time you’ve surpassed their simple analysis 

They judge and judge but till they can even the score they’re no real threat 

I’ve often wondered why sheep still need to be led 

Can’t the sheep just do it by themselves instead 

We’re infantile in thoughts, settling for just enough instead of demanding more 

Accountability has become bad words, curse words to the lazy 

I want to be free with my words 

Not restrained by a status quo 

I want to tell you the truth 

Be as real as I can 

Cause when it’s all said in done 

I will not be retrained 

Caged 

Or imprisoned 

I’ll be free to fly 

As free as a bird in the sky 

  

  

  

Soring
