k nuff verse mama i remember them times when daddy was on the grind not for the money but daddy s infatuated with dimes and you wanted him out but wanted him to say especially when we seen him out playing like a player plays i would call him daddy his friends called him dickie but ice man is what they use to call him in the city because his game was so cold he would leave the girls chilly and at fiv years old i just thought he was a lily livered coward ah man mama here s a flower because i m gonna be the man at least i thought that i would fast forward on the hour glass i m dealing with his shadow and not being the way my daddy was is a battle so being as far from the tree is where i m planning to travel they say the apple don t fall far from the tree but i had to disprove statistics now i got a mrs and a princess and it s so fly i m living limit less chorus we get hurt sometimes and it hurts inside and no one understands so we try to hide away so we try to be strong we try to move on but no one understands so we gotta fly away juanlove verse when we met i was pre teen young an impressionable i met you on the east wing posted by the locker rooms and you wanted to be seen so i maneuvered to the spot attention was locked and loaded on a real thing so pretty and pristine then from front to the back i studied you blood rushing like a bee sting all of my senses were got infected i caught glimpse of a beauty more painful than the one the sea brings a little boy infatuated with a dime drawn in like a scavenger and straddling the line who is really to blame for the mystery of discovery borne of the flesh hiding our nakedness with shrubbery break loose from tom foolery and lust watch it boast a heavy punch and knock you over like a windless gust boyhood dreams are so fleeting and cunning just don t forsake the lord in your days as a youngin chorus we get hurt sometimes and it hurts inside and no one understands so we try to hide away so we try to be strong we try to move on but no one understands so we gotta fly away butta p verse it was a sunny day riding on my bike like kids play he s nearly twice my age took a liking to my frame and now he took away pieces of my youthful days and introduced me to a stage i should know about at that age how do you explain living life with fits of rage he told me i d be gay and now my heart is full of hate i wanted to escape like a wing upon a plane fly away to a place where i d feel no more pain i m fading away because i know it don t exist so i look to exit in his smile he look so brave he knows what to say like a potter i m his clay he s molding me away into this image i portray but it s all so fake because inside i m cold and pained his words have left a curse and now i m living with the shame but what can i say but freedom came my way and like an eagle now i m soaring flying high above the waves chorus 2x we get hurt sometimes and it hurts inside and no one understands so we try to hide away so we try to be strong we try to move on but no one understands so we gotta fly away
