Vic Mensa - Wings (Feat. Pharrell Williams & Saul Williams)

Wings wings wings
P this shit beautiful
Spread my wings wings wings
spread my wings
Just let me think about my life
And fly fly fly fly
Where I wanna go and where I been
Fly fly fly
Turn the headphones up
Take me away
from all the drama man
I miss the old days
With all of these backstabbers
I feel like The O'Jays
I wanna open up my parachute
but it's cold playing this role
when you never been
the type to role play
There's something
about this game
and it fucks
with you mentally
Like football players
leaving the league
with traumatic brain injuries
And eventually
you'll never be the same
as you were
Then you look back at your life
and everything is a blur
Like did I really turn 23
and see a mill before 24
Did I really blow it all
like a hand grenade
in the middle of a civil war
Am I still down with the same
niggas that I came in with
Do they value my friendship
Or do they
just love the attention
Not to mention my girlfriends
what went wrong
Did they do me too right
Am I the same as the snakes
Is the past coming back to bite
Did I waste too many days
Did I fight too many nights
Will they love me when I die
Will I ever learn to fly
Spread my wings wings wings
Use my wings wings wings
Spread my wings wings wings
And fly fly fly fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Use my wings
Introduction to Victor
not Vic Mensa
The one you never meet
in a XXL issue
I got so many issues
I should be my own publisher
The beat is my therapist
Skateboard paint the picture
A portrait of the artist
formerly known as Vic
I read the signs
I was close to overdose
like Prince
Picking pill pieces up
out of the bathroom sink
Like an armored truck ride
in the rink
I'd probably be a vegetable
if not for medical attention
My self destructive habits have
me itching like Tyrone Biggums
In the cyclone of my own addiction
The voices in my head keep
talking I don't wanna listen
You'll never be good enough
nigga you never was
Nobody fucking needs you
you should just jump off the
bridge
You hurt everyone around you
you impossible to love
I don't want you to live
I wish you were fucking dead
I wish you were never born
we would all be better for it
I don't love you
I don't like you
like a fucking metaphor
Fuck everyone song
you ever done
you lie to everyone
And ask them to tell the truth
when that's something
you never done
You a fucking embarrassment
how dare you win
Nigga you let the devil in
You're still a drug addict
you're nothing
without your medicine
Go and run to your sedatives
you can't run forever Vic
Climb the tallest building
and spread your wings
Spread my wings wings wings
Use my wings wings wings
Spread my wings wings wings
And fly fly fly fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Here's my
Jumping jumping jumping jumping
Falling falling falling
to the sky
The answer to the questions
that wings are
Jumping jumping jumping jumping
Falling falling falling
to the sky
The metaphor
for birds is eternal
Jumping jumping jumping jumping
Falling falling falling
to the sky
Spread my wings and fly
Jumping jumping jumping jumping
Falling falling falling
to the sky
Jumping jumping jumping jumping
Falling falling falling
to the sky
Jumping jumping jumping jumping
Falling falling falling
to the sky spread your wings
Jumping jumping jumping jumping
Falling falling falling
to the sky spread your wings
and fly
Jumping jumping jumping jumping
Falling falling falling
to the sky
Good Evening
