Broken Wings

She's a fairy with broken wings, I used to go watch her perform
And if she hears me, I hope she sings the songs that have me
Goin' right back, couldn't find anyone in town to talk about how
No one like that should be confined to the ground we walk

She glides so much it seems like she floats and these folks
Decide to crush her wings until they're permanently broke
She'd ride gusts of wind just by the way she spoke
She cries but loves to sing songs of freedom and hope
On the east side hustling, discussing things that we quote
In shallow conversations as if we have deep throats
We choke on our confusion, not sure if it's a heat stroke
Or if we need coats,
Trading in our cheap jokes for our c-notes
I see notes being passed, I ask to see what these creeps wrote
To find silly kids had flying privileges revoked
Ski slopes have been blocked off they can't chance it
Had weights tied to her ankles, she most definitely can't skip
Town, she's held down by the transcripts my hands grip
Tried to tie her wings back on before they're once again clipped

Panic stricken
She'll remain stuck on a
Titanic sinkin'
But she's tryin' to stay up

Change her plan, thinkin' it's okay, see this is strange but
Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in a way that kept them chained up
I'd like to see her take flight into the stars,
Instead of letting her fly free, they keep her in jars
Instead of letting 'em fly free, they keep 'em in jars
I put my hands to the glass so hard that it might break the prison bars
It isn't hard to see why they keep her captive,
She's naturally attractive, speaks with ad-libs, she's uncommonly talented
Ain't enough adjectives to do her disposition justice
Kids are wishin' for just a kiss and a submission to touch her lips
They can't trust her with freedom of movement, that's a chance to lose her quick
If she ups and splits you might as well call that discussion quits
They have ways to keep her down, the government's underlings enslave
People in this town, especially if their culture's rich, exploiting
Talents, making her do a bunch of tricks,
With the rest of the wingless imports repeatedly told: "You ain't a fairy, you just a bitch

With a butt that's thick, so rub your tits
And thrust your hips and suck my dick
And run your shit..."

She's a fairy with broken wings, I used to go watch her perform
And if she hears me, I hope she sings songs
That have me goin' right back couldn't find anyone in town to talk about how
No one like that should be confined to the ground

When I was down in New York, she'd send me letters and I read her passages
About how I left her to the savages
No matter how sad that is I didn't cry,
'Cause it was only a matter of time before they'd figured me out and tried to strip my pride
I knew the scoop, wish you could've seen the blueprints in my eye
When I flew the coup, utilizing overground railroads in the sky
It was live or die, let me let you in on this secret of mine:
Me and you are different, girl - we don't even need wings to fly

You and me, we don't need wings to fly

Keep on singing, give it a try, give it a try
