<verse_1> strange bird from africa, caged in america. ran ecstatic like a leopard. misunderstood as the foreigner, quote unquote average joe. mind of an oracle, what you hatin for. i’m steady creatin though. why is you waitin, bro. the time is now, and um. </verse_1> <pre_chorus> they try to write me off, but i’m still writin on. i turn my pain to songs, help the quiet feel strong. every bar they built, i bend until it’s gone. you can’t stop the dawn, i rise, i move on. </pre_chorus> <chorus> from the cage to the sky, i’m soaring. every wound in my past, still roaring. can’t hold me down, no borders, no walls. strange bird sings loud, hear the call. </chorus> <verse_2> raised on resistance, fluent in struggle. dreams in my fist, can’t burst my bubble. they said fall in line, i don’t march the same. i built my own fire, i carved my own name. history heavy, still my spirit stays wild. planting seeds for tomorrow, watch the future smile. </verse_2> <bridge> what you fear, i embrace, what you doubt, i create. what you cage, i escape, i was born to innovate. if the door don’t open, i’m making a way. if the path ain’t paved, i’m shaping the clay. </bridge> <verse_3> i’m the voice of the unheard, rhythm in my veins. carrying the stories, never lost in the flames. from the ground to the stage, from the silence to sound. strange bird flies higher, wings never touch down. </verse_3> <chorus_repeat intensity="bigger"> from the cage to the sky, i’m soaring. every wound in my past, still roaring. can’t hold me down, no borders, no walls. strange bird sings loud, hear the call. </chorus_repeat>
