Milo Case - Caged Bird Lyrics

The caged bird don't fly in the winter time
No no, no no, no no
The caged bird can't fly when it's winning time
No no, no no, no no

Put him on my back, we gon fly now
Man soaring in the clouds through the sky now
The caged bird can't fly in the winter
No no

See in my city, they don't care bout education
Go to school everyday, it's like a vacation
Too focused on the booty they not getting no diplomas
Too smart for class, in the front I wrote my poems

Case chosen, shade throwing, tell her I can go forever like it's the 9th inning and the ace closing
Gang banging, and dope slanging
Really you, pants pee staining, your time draining, you running out

Cause if you gone, who gon put food on your table
Ya sister be with her mans and yo mother disabled
Shit you even thought about cutting the cable
So that the 6 o'clock news will stop showing your people

A hypocrite, but I move like 4 times safer
This is your fourth time moving, back and forth like the pacer
And if you don't go to college, you collecting a pay stub
Mixed with the food stamps, you swear you got paper

The caged bird don't fly in the winter time
No no, no no, no no
The caged bird can't fly when it's winning time
No no, no no, no no

Put him on my back, we gon fly now
Man soaring in the clouds through the sky now
The caged bird can't fly in the winter
No no

See I been crunching numbers, don't get no sleep
See statistically the chance of me blowing up is higher than Trump with floor seats
Album never blew but, no "poor me"
I went back in the lab and multiplied by 3 like I'm Kobe

I was making music to gain cred in the streets
When I shoulda just gained cred and spoke like this on the beat
She count my commas for free, she like the omelet no meat
My fans broke, but I bet they paying homage to me

Strategic nigga, almost did four years of college for free
Nah I ain't bragging, just letting you know the obstacle beat
So when you come up with excuses, and you sipping a drink
I promise there's more return than if you flipping a key
(No no, no no)

The caged bird don't fly in the winter time
No no, no no, no no
The caged bird can't fly when it's winning time
No no, no no, no no

Put him on my back, we gon fly now
Man soaring in the clouds through the sky now
The caged bird can't fly in the winter
No no
