Black Girls Glow - Baby Bird (feat. Akotowaa, Massy & UZÉI)

Baby bird
You are not your own
As you grow
You're gonna have to fly
Baby bird
You are not your own
As you grow
You're gonna have to fly

They told you art would be easy
Said to look at the people succeeding
Believing family feeding wouldn't occur if you shun engineering
And you said it wasn't a big deal
Isn't life what you make it
You were just chillin'
Following feelings
Wouldn't admit it
But you never went halfway to your limits

You wanted art to be easy
Didn't want to be stretched
Making it big wasn't even the plan
Now you've been blessed with a stadium of fans
Now you got your life in your hands
And you're feeling the weight
Every drop
Millions of people are streaming on speakers
repeating every single word that you say


Baby bird
You are not your own
As you grow
You're gonna have to fly
Baby bird
You are not your own
As you grow
You're gonna have to fly


If I had a platform
I would tell you
Your government
them dey fail you
All the taxes no dey make sense
It dey go straight to their pockets
Elections dem go promise
One town, one factory
"I go do this, I go do that"
Wetin you dey wan fix?
Anaa wo wurafi' ɔman yi na yɛ wɔmu nu?
Bibiaara yɛ den
Gyesɛ yɛsɔyɛ mu
Wo na wo wɔ tumi
Agye wo kabiribi
Anaa wo wurafi' ɔman na yɛ wɔmu nu?

Baby bird
You are not your own
As you grow
You're gonna have to fly
Baby bird
You are not your own
As you grow
You're gonna have to fly


You got the power now you scared, huh?
Tapping power from the main source
Heavy duty till the day's done (dawn)
That's why they wanna cut your dreadlocks
Responsibilities, you see them in your dreams
Your aspiration don become reality
Now you for help others
All your brothers and your sisters
To build a kingdom you must go deep
Ajọji ọwọ kan o gbẹru do ri
Ajọji ọwọ kan o gbẹru do ri

Baby bird
You are not your own
As you grow
You're gonna have to fly
Baby bird
You are not your own
As you grow
You're gonna have to fly
