Lyrics
Oh, right, oh
Oh, why, na-da-da-da-da, ah
I keep my head high, uh
I got my wings to carry me
I don't know freedom, uh
I want my dreams to rescue me
I keep my faith strong, uh
I ask the Lord to follow me
I've been unfaithful, uh
I don't know why you call on me
This is my canvas (yeah, my canvas)
I'ma paint it how I want it baby, oh I (paint it)
This is my canvas
I'ma paint it, paint it, paint it, how I want it -
- you 'cause there, there is no right or wrong, only a song
I like to write alone, be in my zone
Think back to Forest Hills, no perfect home
But the only thing like home I've ever known
Until they snatched it from my mama, and foreclosed her on the loan
I'm so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone
I was up in New York City chasin' panties, gettin' dome
Had no clue what you was goin' through, how could you be so strong?
And how could I be so selfish? I know I can be so selfish
I could tell by how I treat you with my girl, damn, she so selfless
But she put up with my ways because she love me like you do
And though it don't always show, I love her just like I love you, and
I need to treat you better, wish you could live forever
So we could spend more time together, uh, I love you mama, uh
I keep my head high, uh
I got my wings to carry me
I don't know freedom, uh
I want my dreams to rescue me
I keep my faith strong, uh
I ask the Lord to follow me
I've been unfaithful, uh
I don't know why you call on me
Ayy-ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, apparently (uh)
You believe in me, huh, you believe in me
Ayy-ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, apparently
You believe in me, and I thank you for it, oh, I
Another day, another rhyme, -, another day, another time zone, uh
Today, I woke up feelin' horny so it's only right, I got two - playin' on my trombone
Keep up, never sure where the words would take me
-ga eat 'em up and regurgitate me
S- trump tight, never slurred it lazy
Give a virgin the urge to rape me, ni- please
Best friends really make great for enemies
My watch came, - can't wait for one of these
I see-see -, this ain't no Rolex, it's an AP, -
I'm hot, dawg, catch up to me, -ga, huh, couldn't resist
Aim for the stars and I shouldn't've missed
But I was ridin' on fumes so I stopped by the moon
Now I'm sittin' on the hood of this -
Like, "Thanks for the view", waitin' on thanks from a few
'Cause without me, you wouldn't exist
You know that -, gave you the blueprint, don't forget
Cole is your phone on zero percent, goin' off, now - showin' off
- swear they hard, but they flowin' soft
I'm takin' off like Boeing on a big - Boeing, and gettin' - like a coin toss, too easy
I keep my head high, uh
I got my wings to carry me
I don't know freedom, uh
I want my dreams to rescue me
I keep my faith strong, uh
I ask the Lord to follow me
I've been unfaithful, uh
I don't know why you call on me
Ayy-ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, apparently (huh)
You believe in me, huh, you believe in me
Ayy-ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, apparently
You believe in me, and I thank you for it, oh, I
