Fly High

Yeah, this is ours

Oh, this is ours

Uh, they say it ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to

You give the words power, watch how you lettin' 'em stamp you

Label you a thug, now you callin' yourself a savage

You just a king who was never taught how to handle the baggage

I get it, they tell us pull ourselves up by the bootstraps

But I'd rather walk barefooted than fitted

I know somebody missed it, but the boots is the system

Set up the— ah, forget it, let's get back to the business

Painted pictures, killers and robbers in the hood

We normalizin' Black men, leaders and fathers in the hood

CEO, scholars and nonprofits in the hood

We ain't have a way, but made one regardless of the hood

Our light shinin', never depended on who could see it

As long as we acknowledge that it's possible to be it

See the edge, it's just an opportunity to fly

And never let a human being alive ruin the high, let's go

We may not have everything

But watch a little faith and broken wings fly so high, so high

We may not have everything

But watch a little faith and broken wings fly so high, so high

Yeah, look

They say it ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to

You give the words power, watch how you lettin' 'em stamp you

Backbone of the people, star of the show

Only if you saw how beautiful you are when you glow

You're perfect the way you are, I'm just holdin' you up

You a queen, forgive us if we haven't told you enough

Or made you feel like your worth was attached to your frame

It's crazy how much hurt can be attached to a name

We was supposed to protect you, but we twisted the plot

And made it cool to call you bitches and thots

Or anything else that you're not

Like it ain't out of line or somethin'

Like we ain't got sisters, aunts and a mom or somethin', mm

Shout out to all the women buildin'

Businesses, legacies and raisin' our children

I love the way you model resilience

And still kill it, how could I not acknowledge your brilliance?

Let's go

We may not have everything

But watch a little faith and broken wings fly so high, so high

We may not have everything

But watch a little faith and broken wings fly so high, so high
