Lyrical Analysis of...
Like a Butterfly
- (0:05: First Verse)
- Oh and I've
- Been thinking about our gracious lives
- Been tinkering with audacious lies
- Been sinking shouting contagious cries
- Share your pain with me the end is nigh
- Keep on going up and up in the world, like a butterfly
- Rise up, pulled down counting how many niggas died
- They putting us in a cage, we new slaves, drowning with self pride
- Chaining us with dirty laws, killing us, if we don't abide
- They imprisoning us with coke and meth soon cyanide
- All of our cities burning down, unconscious of all of our strife
- We been taught to submit, all of our lives
- And now out of relief I sigh
- Politicians fight and deny
- Cheat citizens and gentrify
- Dirty tricks, oversimplify
- Beat our ass gouge out our eyes
- Gangs up, all they do is destabilize
- And we let them in, like we paralyzed
- (1:05: Chorus)
- Oh and I've been thinking about my whole life, (whole life)
- Oh and I try to just cleanse my soul dry, (soul dry)
- Too many lost, and way too many goodbyes, (goodbyes)
- Get out of my cocoon, about to fly up like a butterfly, (butterfly)
- (1:36 1:45 pause, then Verse 2)
- Once again, we talk about the same things
- People looking sad, not knowing what faith brings
- Hope, prosperity, ends up feeling heavenly
- It's like ecstasy, paradise of serenity
- (2:08 beat drop)
- Eighteen sixty three, Lincoln got the slaves pleased
- I got a question to ask though, are we really free?
- (2:16 :Chorus)
- Oh and I've been thinking about my whole life, (whole life)
- Oh and I try to just cleanse my soul dry, (soul dry)
- Too many lost, and way too many goodbyes, (goodbyes)
- Get out of my cocoon, about to fly up like a butterfly, (butterfly)
