This Bird - Solange

Once in a time

Where the girls feel like girls

And the world is painted

Cotton candy

Where the sweet lemonade

Of mcgregor street

Was the best the damn thing of the summer breeze

Your dad drives a foreign car

And your mama looks like a beauty queen

Now the sour bitter days

Of a colorless place

Seems to light up my nights somehow

And the music i play must be loud, loud, loud, loud, loud as can be So i dont have to hear myself think

So i dont have to wake up from this dream

I dont wanna sing no single mama blues

Im not singin look at me i’ve been abused

O im honestly lost girl starin at you

So maybe ill put on my high heel shoes

And soar the night away

And soar the night away

But whatever i do Im not gonna slow this bird down

I don’t wanna look life in the eye

I’m not gonna fall face first in the spiral called a life

Im not in denial

Im not suicidal

Not an alcoholic

Im not out here whoring

So just shut the f**k up This birds not slowing down

Once in a while

When the sun does its job

Lets the clouds take a nice day off

I can breeze through the day

And just run through night

Here injisted of those big blue eyes

Is this is life might run

On the evening of fourth july

So i got reason to fly

Im not gonna slow this bird down

I don’t wanna look life in the eye

I don’t wanna fall face first in the spiral called a life

Im not in denial

Im not suicidal

Not an alcoholic

Im not out here whoring

So just shut the f**k up This birds not slowing down

Slowing dowwwwnnn

Slowing downnnnn

Slowing dowwwnnnn

Its not over yet

The song isnt over yet

Aint no birds

Gonna slow me down

Imma keep on rollin

And aint no birds gonna slow me down

Keep on rollin

And aint no birds

Gonna slow me down

Imma keep on rollin

And aint no birds gonna slow me down
