Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A bird with the word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now I look what's takin' over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm makin' do
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
[Verse 2]
A bird with the word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now I look what's takin' over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm makin' do
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
[Verse 3]
I'm reppin' for the longest cycle, mmh
My uncles had to pay the cost, mmh
My sister used to sing to Whitney, mmh
My mama caught the gamblin' bug, mmh
We came up in a lonely castle, mmh
My papa was behind them bars, mmh
We never had to want for nothin', mmh
Said all we ever need is love, mmh
We see the same things
We sing the same songs
We feel the same grief
Bleed the same blood
You grew up in the home beside me
I always had a friend to call
How could I make it here without you? Mmh
I pray I leave before you're gone
[Verse 4]
A bird with the word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now I look what's takin' over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm makin' do
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
[Verse 5]
A bird with the word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now I look what's takin' over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm makin' do
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
[Verse 6]
Ay
My little youth is cryin'
I'm almost home (Almost home)
Up north with the Mayans, mmh
Workin' my fingers to the bone
See I do the best I can, mmh
Mama was a farmer, mmh
Papa was a goner, mmh
