Fly Away

Free city

This is a shout out to every young brother ya' know

That's doing his thing right now

Keep ya head up

He's walking the yard wishing he had wings

Ya know so he could fly up out that joint

Man

If I could fly away

Oh, I wouldn't come back no more

I'd turn around just to see you for the last time

See now I know

Hey that it won't be easy

I done fought through the battle and I done made this far

I got a few more feet but its still the longest yard

Man, it's the longest yard I ever had in my life

See my life ain't right if my wife don't write

My **** can't eat if the fish don't bite

My raise the gross sales like Mike and Ike

A big brother all mighty

I keep gamma ray on my G-5-G

Taking G-5 jeep

G-5 deep

To some of their bare feet

And the jeep don't speak

Listen mayne, they lock it down 'round here

See body bag and gag and your found 'round here

This as serious as it sound 'round here

The guards guard the ground, four pounds 'round here

And they ain't playin', they just lettin' you know

That anything they want to happen, **** happen real slow

Get the word upstairs, put you in that hole

I can't take it, I'm just ready to go

If I could fly away

Oh, I wouldn't come back no more

I'd turn around just to see you for the last time

See now I know

Hey that it won't be easy

I done fought through the battle and I made this far

I got a few more feet but its still the longest yard

Yeah, yeah, it's still the longest yard

Um, um, it's still the longest yard

Um, um, it's still the longest

I done fought through the battle and I made this far (This far)

I'm in my cell 20 hours a day

And doin' push-ups every hour a day

'Cause I'm tryin' to keep the cowards away

That's why I'm markin' off the calendar days

Tryin' to get it outta the way

Yeah, and I'm just tryin' to keep a peace in mind

And try not to strike a mother fucker with a piece of mine

'Cause he try to take a piece of mine

So I'ma slice him once piece at a time

But now they close the doors

Lock me in

In a cell 30 feet but is built for 10

Tell me what kinda world they got you in

With a barbwire fence to box you in

From now till they turn off the lights

See I'm read everything in sight

It's kinda hard tryin' to read at night

But I'm a change my life

And help another brother take this flight

If I could fly away

Oh, I wouldn't come back no more

I'd turn around just to see you for the last time

See now I know

Hey that it won't be easy

I done fought through the battle and I made this far

I got a few more feet but its still the longest yard

Yeah, yeah, it's still the longest yard

Um, um, it's still the longest yard

Um, um, it's still the longest

I done fought through the battle and I made this far (This far)

Oh no, I gotta make it out this place somehow

Oh no, man I really believe I can turn it around

Oh no, you see all I need is that second chance to show

Since incarceration, my obligation of rehabilitation

Oh no, they can punch me high, kick me low

Oh no, spit on me, it's gonna take more that that for them to break my soul

Oh no, man it's hard for people to understand

What it's like to be gated, incarcerated

Most can't take it but I'm a make it to see betta' days

If I could fly away

Oh, I wouldn't come back no more

I'd turn around just to see you for the last time

See now I know

Hey that it won't be easy

I done fought through the battle and I made this far

I got a few more feet but it's still the longest yard

Yeah, yeah, it's still the longest yard

Um, um, it's still the longest yard

Um, um, it's still the longest

I done fought through the battle and I made this far (This far)

If I could fly away

If I could, I'd turn around

If I could fly away

If I could, I'd turn around

If I could fly away
