Song Lyrics

"Hey
How you doin'?
Folks been sayin' they see your mugshot on the news
Well, I'm not lookin' at that, you know
I had surgery
I got other thing to think about, I got a lot of pain
But, we all do
I know you need to know we're gonna get through it
Everything is gonna be okay"

Hurt a lot of people 'cause we hurt ('cause we hurt)
Been in the game a long time a nigga feet hurt (a nigga feet hurt)
We all get doubted sometimes as believers
But shit don't change until you feel the pain of a rebirth (rebirth, rebirth)
Rebirth (rebirth, rebirth)

In the same month my debut album dropped, my pops had surgery on his neck
It left him paralyzed, I saw the fear in his eyes reflected in mine
Next to my mom, watchin' 'em grieve
Wipin' tears from her face with my heart on my sleeve
Throwin' up the Roc as I stood on stage with Hov
While my own father could barely walk like he two years old
And I'm gone on the road, so my mental state feels like the interstate
All of the travellin' took its toll
Googoo had a DJ set first night in Toronto
I was off the D'usse, swimmin' in Ace of Spades
I hit the club owner's brothers over the head with the bottle
I was at my breakin' point I couldn't contain my rage
All the aggression that I was reflectin' was just depression
Lookin' at album sales lower than I expected
I wrote my Odyssey on The Autobiography
Felt like Capitol ain't pull through with all that they promised me
Tatted Alexandra name on my arm as a promise ring
Then I broke it like a joke, now I'm laughin' at myself
It's easier to place the blame on everybody else
I'm yellin', "F*ck the world!", but it's really a cry for help

Hurt a lot of people 'cause we hurt ('cause we hurt)
Been in the game a long time a nigga feet hurt (a nigga feet hurt)
We all get doubted sometimes as believers
But shit don't change until you feel the pain of a rebirth (rebirth, rebirth)
Rebirth (rebirth, rebirth)

Drownin' in controversy, I made it my identity
I could be guilty of lack of empathy
Tryna play the hero, it made me a public enemy
On point with my message but too blunt with my delivery
I should've learned not to mix award shows with Hennessey
Point a finger, that's three fingers back in your direction
Sometimes you gotta take a L or two to learn a lesson
I dissed a mother's dead son I'm sorry Mrs. Jackson
I'll take the heat I gotta let it burn with my confessions
In the midst of the madness my baby sister had a psychotic break
Spent Christmas in a psych ward
Not knowin' if she's in good hands like Allstate
That was a tall order for the fam, she's only 5'4"
Now I got my personal all tangled in my mic cord
Could either break you or make you appreciate life more
It only differs in perspective
You witnessed my crucifixion
Welcome to my resurrection

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth)
We'll fly away, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
We're still alive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Back from the dead, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
We're still alive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Back from the dead
I'll pick you up when you're drownin', I'll hold you down
I'll be your sun and provider and your protector (your protector)
I'll be the one that you follow when you feel down (down, down, down)
Come follow me to the sun and we'll fly away
Down, down
Fly away
We'll fly today

Fly away (we can go high-high-high)
We'll fly away
Fly away (we can go)
We'll fly away
Fly away (we can go high-high)
We'll fly away (go right now)
Fly away
We'll fly away
Fly away
We'll fly away
Fly away (higher and higher)
We'll fly away
Fly away
We'll fly away (until God comes)
Fly away
We'll fly away (higher and higher)
Fly away
We'll fly away (fly away)
Fly away
We'll fly away
Fly away
We'll fly away
