Yeah, yeah, alright
So my voice could, uh, the beat could come down a tiny bit
And my voice could come up a lot
(I can't)
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
I can't be no bird in a cage (Woo, woo)
My bad, I don't wanna wait, no
We got the juice, we got the proof
Mama always told me don't waste your time
I can't be no bird in a cage (Woo, woo)
My bad, I don't wanna wait, no
Knock on wood, it's gon' be a long night
Stay movin' forward, don't waste your soul
Yeah, stay movin' forward and elevate from the floor
And the old you had big drive, the new you drive like Delorean
Until you do more than Lauryn (Yeah)
The future's important, they tell me, do what you can
Man, I'ma do it like Jordan (That's right)
Gotta check myself, Mama
Told me, just like old Morgan, free man (Free man)
A caged bird sings a song for freedom (Freedom)
Goin' borderline crazy thinkin' 'bout the children
Michael Jackson told us all, get off the wall, back then
Ain't no strings, like Tito, no puppet, Danny DeVito
It's your idle time, get you nowhere, unless you Burrino (C'mon)
I ain't a new slave, my new wave, the new negro
Ain't on the web, but it's W. E. B
Key holes, unlocked 'em (Uh)
No thinkin' toxic (That's right)
You mis-educated, like Lauren with the 'locs in
If you confuse my boxin', with me being boxed in (Never)
It's my native language, ain't gotta say it in moccasins
Whatever I be rockin' in, I speak the truth (I speak the truth)
Like 222 times 2 (Yeah), that's 4:44
Better than before (Yeah, c'mon)
Be three times the lady like we sangin' Commodores
Knowin' I can't, I can't
