"Pretty Bird / Way U R" lyrics
Please listen
Pretty bird, come talk to me
Tell me who'd you see
When you flew to Heaven
Please listen
Pretty bird, come talk to me
Tell me who'd you see
When you flew to Heaven
Please listen
Did you talk to Dirty? Did you see Assata?
Were Dilla and D'angelo discussing how far they've come without Common?
Heaven, was Nikki Giovanni, def'n poetry?
Pretty bird, could you send a word up there for me?
To La'Neise's girl?
Makaylah, we miss you, family prayers, they kept us sane
Some days I cry, sometimes I feel she do too on ones it rains
Hold the family down, rainy days, the storms go bang
Heaven only knows, so pretty bird, like pics to a frame
Help me capture the picture of what it's like
Beyond the light, pretty bird
Sit at my window, sing me songs tonight about love lost
Sit in the tub and I soak in my thoughts
If I don't see you tomorrow, promise you'll visit me more
Another day
I just had one thing I need
Just a little love
Just a little love
Please, listen
Pretty bird, pretty bird
November leaves on the trees
Fall south like the birds in winter
Fly back to me in spring
Tell me 'bout Heaven, did every one I love receive their wings?
Is that even the look of Heaven?
Birds that flock together, sing
Al Green, stay together, let's stay together
Meet me in a dream, maybe that's the closest way to speak to Heaven
Relatively speaking, if sleep Is death's cousin?
If not, send a word up for me, tell 'em I love 'em
Pretty bird, what a sweet thing you are, like maple syrup
We used to wing it dem days, me and you both fly as the birds
Perched on a memory, I still get fly, check out my fit
The drip match my eyes, pretty birds, on the days I cry, visit me
Tell me 'bout heaven, tell me everything, who did you see?
Tell me 'bout Kaylan? Bring D relief, no matter how brief
Pretty bird, come talk to me 'bout Heaven
Tell 'em all how much that I miss 'em, I wasn't ready for them to go!
Please, listen
I just had one thing I need
Just a little love
Just a little love
Please, listen
Pretty bird, pretty bird
Pretty bird, pretty bird
Pretty bird, come talk to me
Tell me who'd you see
When you flew to Heaven
Please listen
Pretty bird, come talk to me
Tell me who'd you see
When you flew to Heaven
Please listen
Did you talk to Dirty? Did you see Assata?
Were Dilla and D'angelo discussing how far they've come without Common?
Heaven, was Nikki Giovanni, def'n poetry?
Pretty bird, could you send a word up there for me?

Sit at my window, sing me songs tonight about love lost
Sit in the tub and I soak in my thoughts
If I don't see you tomorrow, promise you'll visit me more
