Like Flies

[javon]

Open your eyes to individuals who look upon you as prey

Like vultures in disguise, hovering over you like flies upon waste

Realize...

Chorus:

[javon]

Vultures plotting on my demise

Stool pigeons tell lies while the caged bird cries

[danja mowf]

Yo, but as long as the mighty eagle rules the skies

Black men keep dropping like flies

[j] I'm watched like a sparrow in some godly eyes

[d] finding peace like the dove is a compromise

[j] yo, as long as the mighty eagle rules the skies

[d] black men keep dropping like flies

[danja mowf]

Yo, it's only right that I take flight

(where? ) to the sky, floating like a black butterfly

I try to make my migration plesant

But living in the present gets you shot down like a pheasant

The reason seems that every day is hunting season

At least on the block where the black birds flock

Some of these birds choose not to soar the sky

They just stay in some shit, making them more like flies

Day in and day out another one dies

(I got it, another fly nigga got swatted)

The time he was alotted it seems just ran out

Or could it be the fact he didn't let his wings span out?

Acting like a chicken scared to leave the coup

Cause the chicken doesn't fly, he just stays with the group

Chilling with a bunch of turkeys waiting for thanksgiving

If he had of flown south he might have kept on living cause

Chorus

.44's and popo's don't scare these pros

In the nighttime ducking from constat shot bucking

They stuck in fly paper, for making paper is fly

Cause the eagle's on the paper, now you understand why?

When the eagle rules the sky, many black men die

Chasing eagles then get stabbed by the vultures nearby

Reducing us like calories, shot down like ducks in shooting galleries

Please freeze these mentalities

That's holding you back from getting busy like bees

In trees you rest, bulding your nest with cess

Soothing your bird chest from chest, you've just buddha blessed

Yes, every block or two them hoes will find a cock or two

With no penis cap and get you caught in her venus trap

Indeed, don't be dropping your bird seed

Pollinating wild flowers, it's all in your power cause

Chorus

The caged bird sings but his songs get muffled

Feathers get ruffled, it's a struggle in the everyday scuffle

I tried to warn him about these snakes and cats

They hardheaded like woodpeckers and they blind as bats

That's the reason I keep preaching but you

In denial like the owl always talking about "who? "

I should call you a parrot cause you act that way

First arounf a bunch of niggers, repeating what they say

Thinking that you're fly pimping around like a peacock

But your turf, your whole earth consists of only three blocks

Take them keylocks off of your mind

Take a journey out of the ghetto just to see what you can find

And like the raven said to poe and only told him "nevermore"

If from your dome you never go then any more we'll never know

See how some other guys live their lives, not like flies

Realize your limit ain't the skies
