Mama told me not to waste my life She said spread your wings my little butterfly, Don’t let what they say keep you up at night And if they give you sh... then they can walk on by
[Verse I] My feet can’t touch the ground And I can’t hear a sound, But you just keep on, Running up your mouth, yeah Walk, walk on over there Cos I’m too fly to care, oh Your words don’t mean a thing, I’m not listening, Keep talking all I know is…
[Chorus] Mama told me not to waste my life She said spread your wings my little butterfly, Don’t let what they say keep you up at night And they can’t detain you cos wings are made to fly And we don’t let nobody bring us down No matter what you say it won’t hurt me Don’t matter if I fall from the sky These wings are made to fly
[Verse II] I'm firing up on that runway I know we're gonna get there someday But we don't need no ready steady go Talk, talk turns into air and I don’t even care
[Chorus] Mama told me not to waste my life She said spread your wings my little butterfly, Don’t let what they say keep you up at night And they can’t detain you cos wings are made to fly And we don’t let nobody bring us down No matter what you say it won’t hurt me Don’t matter if I fall from the sky These wings are made to fly
[Verse III] I don’t need no one saying hey, hey, hey I don’t hear no one saying hey,hey, hey You’d better keep on walking, I don’t wanna hear your talking boy’d Your words don’t mean a thing, I’m not listening, They’re just like water off my wings
[Chorus] Mama told me not to waste my life She said spread your wings my little butterfly, Don’t let what they say keep you up at night And they can’t detain you cos wings are made to fly And we don’t let nobody bring us down No matter what you say it won’t hurt me Don’t matter if I fall from the sky These wings are made to fly
