caged bird - meechy jay lyrics
(verse 1)
listen…
this one here is for the, narrow minded, people that are blinded
in this world full of ways to get stuck up in a cage
too stuck up in our ways to see that we need change
we a bunch of caged birds homie let me explain
in my years upon this earth
we’ve been taught for generations to believe that whites should come first
and blacks should never own power
we at the bottom of the list with barely any privilege we gotta fight for our
rights and i spend hours at night
thinking how to break free from this grip and its like
oppression is this prison with this freedom in sight
but we can’t break free here’s the reason that i sing, hey..
(hook)
we a bunch of caged birds and we can’t win
shackles on my mental stopping me from thinking
they don’t wanna see us winning, just to maintain
lord i just wanna spread my wings out this bird cage
we a bunch of caged birds and we can’t win
shackles on my mental stopping me from thinking
they don’t wanna see us winning, just to maintain
lord i just wanna spread my wings out this bird cage
(verse 2)
let me explain, for those who don’t get it
we are living in a world where same chances aren’t given
to blacks, oh no, they’d rather see us in prison
and we’re led by the blind whose steady k!lling our vision
just imagine being held back
from chasing all your dreams just because you’re black
see this cage goes unnoticed until your eyes have been opened
to this world ran by white who on the low they be hoping
that we die and never see the light
forgive me for my thinking on this late night
how we praise whites but lord let me refrain
’cause even out of prison we are still in caged
caged bird
(hook)
we a bunch of caged birds and we can’t win
shackles on my mental stopping me from thinking
they don’t wanna see us winning, just to maintain
lord i just wanna spread my wings out this bird cage
we a bunch of caged birds and we can’t win
shackles on my mental stopping me from thinking
they don’t wanna see us winning, just to maintain
lord i just wanna spread my wings out this bird cage
