Wings

Mamma told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don′t let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you shh...
Then they can walk on by

My feet, feet can't touch the ground
And I can′t hear a sound
But you just keep on running up your mouth, yeah

Walk, walk on over there
'Cos I'm too fly to care, oh yeah

Your words don′t mean a thing
I′m not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mamma told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can′t detain you
'Cos wings are made to fly
And we don′t let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don′t matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

'Huh huh'...

I′m firing up on that runway
I know we′re gonna get there someday
But we don't need no ready steady go, no

Talk, talk turns into air
And I don′t even care, oh yeah

Your words don't mean a thing
I′m not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mamma told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can′t detain you
'Cos wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won′t hurt me
Don′t matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly


I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey
I don′t hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, Boy′d
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, Boy′d

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening

They′re just like water off my wings

Mamma told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don′t let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
′Cos wings are made to fly

And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won′t hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

And we don′t let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly...
