D Major - Eagles

I'm just tryna soar like an eagle
I'm just tryna soar like an eagle
I'm just tryna soar like an eagle
I'm just tryna…
Look
Lethal, I'm from where the man are lethal
For the money, the love of it evil
The streets killing all my people
Still I gotta soar like an eagle
Legal, weren't always doing it legal
But pops said I gotta stay away from evil
Cos the streets, they be killing my people
So I gotta soar like an eagle
Tried be a baller like dem man
Taller racks just like dem man
Risking freedom is what they do for them bands
Still I was raised not to be like them man
But getting bands is still how the boy's feeling
Them man be thieving
And though these hands, they don't know about the dealing
The need for the lizzy made it hard But I can't condone them man scheming
Was raised not to condone it
And my heart there, no I couldn't let the money control it
Still I went through a phase where, see my number, if it ain't about the money, don't phone it
This road's been a tight one
Bun a bad choice, ever been vexed making the right one
I tried to graft, I tried making a way, like Christ, can you provide one?
Look
Lethal, I'm from where the man are lethal
For the money, the love of it evil
The streets killing all my people
Still I gotta soar like an eagle
Legal, weren't always doing it legal
But pops said I gotta stay away from evil
Cos the streets, they be killing my people
So I gotta soar like an eagle
I said I'm just tryna soar, and I know aunties still sore, she's got, got a son doing this bird
Was always told to not follow no herd
But bad environment can corrupt what you heard
Mummy's words, yeah, man heard them
Stuck in a pickle, do what you gotta do
Many guys, they don't care if it hurts them
You'd think it's either a bird or this burden
Never bumped guys, but I bumped these journeys
I took the long road, I couldn't bump this journey
Perseverance in my genes from early
Bros got packs in his jeans, man his vision's blurry
I be here praying that Jesus free them
Cos my bros out here risking his freedom
Empty mouths, they're tryna feed them
Lord save my brothers, cos I need them
Look
Lethal, I'm from where the man are lethal
For the money, the love of it evil
The streets killing all my people
Still I gotta soar like an eagle
Legal, weren't always doing it legal
But pops said I gotta stay away from evil
Cos the streets, they be killing my people
So I gotta soar like an eagle
