[Javon]  
 Open your eyes to individuals who look upon you as prey  
 Like vultures in disguise  hovering over you like flies upon waste  
 Realize...  
  
 Chorus:  
  
 [Javon]  
 Vultures plotting on my demise  
 Stool pigeons tell lies while the caged bird cries  
  
 [Danja Mowf]  
 Yo  But as long as the mighty eagle rules the skies  
 Black men keep dropping like flies  
  
 [J] I'm watched like a sparrow in some Godly eyes  
 [D] Finding peace like the dove is a compromise  
 [J] Yo, as long as the mighty eagle rules the skies  
 [D] Black men keep dropping like flies  
  
 [Danja Mowf]  
 Yo, it's only right that I take flight  
 (Where?) To the sky, floating like a black butterfly  
 I try to make my migration plesant  
 But living in the present gets you shot down like a pheasant  
 The reason seems that every day is hunting season  
 At least on the block where the black birds flock  
 Some of these birds choose not to soar the sky  
 They just stay in some shit, making them more like flies  
 Day in and day out another one dies  
 (I got it, another fly nigga got swatted)  
 The time he was alotted it seems just ran out  
 Or could it be the fact he didn't let his wings span out?  
 Acting like a chicken scared to leave the coup  
 Cause the chicken doesn't fly, he just stays with the group  
 Chilling with a bunch of turkeys waiting for Thanksgiving  
 If he had of flown South he might have kept on living cause  
  
 Chorus  
  
 .44's and popo's don't scare these pros  
 In the nighttime ducking from constat shot bucking  
 They stuck in fly paper, for making paper is fly  
 Cause the eagle's on the paper, now you understand why?  
 When the eagle rules the sky, many black men die  
 Chasing eagles then get stabbed by the vultures nearby  
 Reducing us like calories, shot down like ducks in shooting galleries  
 Please freeze these mentalities  
 That's holding you back from getting busy like bees  
 In trees you rest, bulding your nest with cess  
 Soothing your bird chest from chest, you've just buddha blessed  
 Yes, every block or two them hoes will find a cock or two  
 With no penis cap and get you caught in her venus trap  
 Indeed, don't be dropping your bird seed  
 Pollinating wild flowers, it's all in your power cause  
  
 Chorus  
  
 The caged bird sings but his songs get muffled  
 Feathers get ruffled, it's a struggle in the everyday scuffle  
 I tried to warn him about these snakes and cats  
 They hardheaded like woodpeckers and they blind as bats  
 That's the reason I keep preaching but you  
 In denial like the owl always talking about "Who?"  
 I should call you a parrot cause you act that way  
 First arounf a bunch of niggers, repeating what they say  
 Thinking that you're fly pimping around like a peacock  
 But your turf, your whole earth consists of only three blocks  
 Take them keylocks off of your mind  
 Take a journey out of the ghetto just to see what you can find  
 And like the raven said to Poe and only told him "Nevermore"  
 If from your dome you never go then any more we'll never know  
 See how some other guys live their lives, not like flies  
 Realize your limit ain't the skies
