[Intro]

You were born to fly

When you're not so shy

When you're ready


[Verse 1: Add-2]

Looking at my arms tryna find my wings see

I hum the same song that the caged bird sings

Holding onto dreams I don't sleep at night

Sitting in the dark when you need that light

While you wishing on a star I'm asking would you want to be one?

Living in the city where it's so hard to see one

Staring at the [?] ain't a place to put a t on

Make a star track now everybody wanna cling on

Nigga what you be on? Remind myself

Inside a mirror tryna find myself, stomach in knots

I untie myself, were you blind by wealth?

Who you owe when you by yourself? Let it sink

Back drinking, told my mama that I quit though

But shit, when shit's broke is when you looking for a fix though

Drinking out the bottle like my answer's at the bottom

Ain't it funny how it's empty and you hollow?

That's when you know that you got a problem

Knowing you gotta solve them and knowing you got friends

But knowing you never call them

Falling like Donnie play a song for you

Feeling weak, but I'm tryna be strong for you

Cause you need me

If you see me break down just know that it ain't easy

If big Ma could see me shed probly say it'll be ok

She probly say it'll be ok


[Hook: Heather Victoria]

When you're ready

I'll be right here waiting for you

If you need me let me know and I'll come

I'll be right here waiting for you

If you need me let me know and I'll come


[Verse 2: Add-2]

Visiting my pop's crib he asked how I'm living

I said in staying on my job and he told me that he lost his

He said it with a smile tryna soften it

Him and mama arguing, I'm often getting caught in it

Praying that they stay together

Cause when you see it rain you wanna change the weather

Tryna make a way when you can make it better

A house is not a home, address change like Cinderella

Listening to Ella sing married to the game, exchanged wedding rings and

Life a bitch, she divorce and take everything

Life leave you with more questions and less answers

They told me Brad got cancer, I tell him fight it

I know he trying, knowing he lying saying he feelin' fine

It took his legs and I was crying so the day when he died

I locked myself inside my room for a couple days and sat

Just wondering where God at?

Since you been gone I listen to Steve Wonder

I never dreamed that you'd leave in summer

It's hard to face fears in it, sometimes it's harder to face mirrors

When you tryna find strength to tell his wife and kids

I'm sorry for your loss, it doesn't wipe away the tears

I wanna ask the man upstairs

If any of my prayers make it up to your ears


[Hook: Heather Victoria]

When you're ready

I'll be right here waiting for you

If you need me let me know and I'll come

I'll be right here waiting for you

If you need me let me know and I'll come
