"Time I Fly" lyrics

I don't wanna let you go, but
I think it's time I let you be
I was giving you my all and
(You feel me?) It wasn't no good to me
(I feel like this is a goodbye letter to the streets) like a bird in a cage
(I'm letting this shit go) I think it's time to spread my wings
(Aight, love) and fly, fly

Like a diamond in the dirt, I stood out and made it work (for real)
You juggin' in the hood ain't shit better than the first
I see my brother touch 50 in a week off an Obama phone (for real)
Type of money, if I had out by my mama home
Made a vow I ain't leaving a trap until my commas long (a vow)
The switch fast, but seven, six fools out the top was trying
Nigga's mistake when I got rich was me trying to put nigga on (for real)
I can't believe my nigga's gone, screaming, "Free Hundo" 'til he home (Free Hundo)

I'm hopin' shit get better, but it probably won't
I wanna leave the beef alone, but truth be told, I probably won't
These nigga die behind this shit in bloodshed
Some niggas lost they life and some niggas in the feds (for real)
I seen some niggas turn to meds to cope with the pain that they felt
Other nigga turn to killings out here, giving nigga joke (yeah!)
One thing I learned, the streets don't love us
And the system don't understand, but they still gon' judge us, nigga (for real)

I don't wanna let you go, but
I think it's time I let you be
I was giving you my all and
It wasn't no good to me (ay, I was giving the streets my heart, that's one no good to me)
Like a bird in a cage
I think it's time to spread my wings (it's time I-)
And fly, fly (time I fly, nigga)

Love still trying not to panic, but my life been in a friend
They say we're free, but is we really free for real, or they just seeing it?
Dealing with depression, I'm trying to learn how to manage it
I got hurt and kept going, I had to wrap it up with bandages (I wrap it up)
And it's pain still running deep though
I done been through so much, this shit feel like a freak though, nigga
And I only got one shot to make it (just one)
I stacked against me and I'm still gonna take it (stacked that)

Still taking risks, ice on my wrist
Poppin' it for air, fucking night, I ain't had shit (poppin' it)
In them nights I ain't had shit, I could've I quit, but I ain't quit
Put trophies, I went and spent a half a ticket on my king (nigga)
Two thousand on my shoes, you still can't fit inside my case
Man, this shit don't make no sense, spent 30-thousand just on rent
Another 60 for bro lawyer into jail, he still went
So the diamonds, when I smile, hide the pain you can't fix (nigga)

I don't wanna let you go, but
I think it's time I let you be
I was giving you my all and
It wasn't no good to me
Like a bird in a cage
I think it's time to spread my wings (I get my fees back)
And fly, fly

I don't wanna let you go, but
I think it's time I let you be
I was giving you my all and
It wasn't no good to me
Like a bird in a cage
I think it's time to spread my wings
And fly, fly
