Lyrics

(Fighting, living, dying) (For what?) (For freedom) (That's what which men have fought since time began) (To be free) They be making blanket statements, scaring everyone They be making you feel like you never did belong Yeah he said that she said, yeah, they say a lot So many things they just think you forgot Who you are and what you do and where you coming from I just thought I could remind you with this simple song No bad body language can start to rebuff To we're choosing weapons and hatred, no love Not you You are in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones But words can never break your bones You just spread your Wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would I knew there always was Nothing wrong with being you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you All you ever see, don't see it in our enemies Telling you to lose your individuality Look, do this and do that 'Til you've lost your way 'Til you need a vice or a means of escape They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself Blow smoke into your mirror 'til you're mentally unwell So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit They can't take your soul or desire for freedom You You are in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones But words will never break your bones You just spread your Wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would I knew there always was nothing wrong with being you Who said I wanna be, I'm gonna be Everything they said I couldn't be Everything that I said I would be When I picked up a pen and I started to speak I hear the beat, my melody I just pour all my of heart in these sheets I could not just be a star in the street Man, I knew what was different, I had a belief Nowhere to live, nothing to eat You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep You couldn't breathe, I couldn't be All of the shit was happening to me I would do drugs, I was a thief Still on the run from the karma police You were the mission that's given to me, by the powers to be Man is double G 'n' D You are in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always was You are in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones Words can never break your bones You just spread your wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would Yeah, I knew you always would (I knew) I know there always was nothing wrong with being You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
