Pretty Little Birds - Intellectual

[Verse 1: SZA]

You are but a phoenix among feathers

You're broken by the waves among the sea

They'll let you die, they'll let you wash away

But you swim as well as you fly

[Chorus: SZA]

Pretty little bird, pretty little bird

You've hit the window a few times (The window a few times)

You're pretty little bird, pretty little bird

You still ain't scared of no heights

When the spiral down feels as good as the flight, oh

When hating you feels good for the night

When the morning comes, I hope you're still mine

[Post-Chorus: SZA]

When the morning comes

If the morning comes (I hope you're still mine)

When the morning comes

When the morning comes, I hope you're still mine (If the morning comes)

When the morning comes

If the morning comes

[Verse 2: SZA]

Told you I like gentle giants so you softened up

And you been jackin', beanin', stalkin' just to get to me, love

I wanna be your golden goose, I wanna shave my legs for you

I wanna take all of my hair down and let you lay in it

Spread all of my limbs out and let you lay in it

[Chorus: SZA]

Pretty little birds, pretty little birds (Pretty little birds)

Do you mean every word? You mean every word? (Do you mean?)

Pretty little girls, pretty little girls (Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty)

We hit the window a few times (The wall, the wall)

[Post-Chorus: SZA]

Bah-da-dum-bah, but I can't stay

But I would lay

But I would (Ooh)

I would

[Verse 3: Isaiah Rashad]

Lately, I feel like I'm robbin' myself

Like I'm robbin' mines

Diamond cerebral, peek into your cortex

Be faithful and free and just play in your vortex

I see you, 'Lana, you fly by the pound (Pound)

Fly by the ounce (Ounce)

Fly to the south

Don't mind them bitches that's cleanin' my house

Lord, you can see, Lord

You see them heights that they just can't afford

I see them lights and you made for that shit

Fuck all that cryin', you pray for that shit, but

[Outro: SZA & Isaiah Rashad, SZA]

My wings don't spread like they used to

But I wanna fly with you

('Til we hit the heavens)

But my wings don't spread like they used to

But I wanna fly with you

('Til we hit the heavens)

(Thought I'd seen you, darling)
