Lyrics

Written by: Micah James

Caged Bird....


Verse I: This life I live I've already seen it come and go, my theme of life is the dream I'm living for. Imagine being a person with no answers for life, I witness a woman dying of cancer her husband took his own life. So image love in its purest form, brothers hate me still I pray the Lord take all their pain away from me cause jealously leads to anger; Im a stranger to my own writings, I've never been to a point - where I admire sh@# that, does'nt inspire what my heart desires. Honestly, I'm searching for Van Gough paintings - searching for that feeling that was bestowed on authors of the bible. The harder I strive for my title Mr. James say it correctly, don't stand in front or behind stand next to me tell me you plans; Imagine every black man powerful as any human can be imagine the comroderie of people who've obtain relations to a higher degree..............

Chorus: I'll take you where you need to be, where you want to go, I'll show you things, things you need to know, let me place you under my wings, and tell you why --the caged bird sings..........

Verse II: As long as Makayla loves me then theres nothing that can go wrong, my daughter her smile encourages me to write more songs. 5 foot something, height not the reason I'm so strong, my strength comes from an enlarge heart filled with packages of passion. Brothers holler one more day for less dollars, one more oppurtunity to swallow provided oxygen filled my lungs with the essence of haze. I dont smoke, I just remenisce on days that brought me from a boy to a man; college graduate from poverty with enormous plans. Im just living a dream from another life, died and came back, 2 years in a coma my brother married my wife. I cant fathom being average, flow is irregular speech is pure nector from a flower, nourishment stores with in itself, other artist bore themselves that why their albums permanently live on the shelf.......

Chorus: I'll take you where you need to be, where you want to go, I'll show you things, things you need to know, let me place you under my wings, and tell you why --the caged bird sings..........

Verse III: Anything I want in life no one will deny me, Swair to Christ - you can find me in Virginia smoking a stoge in a Jazz Club, or on the low playing chauffeur for my moms, Im infatuated by how drums accompany pianos. On Friday nights - I'm the only brother in church praying next to lit candles, I pray for everyone forgiveness. Prostitutes, preachers, crack addicts, political leaders, poverty's children eventually students become teachers. Eventually, they say creatures turned human, I'm assuming religion and science basically justifying the truth, I'm relying on truth; honesty has built me. Brothers tell a lot of lies because their insides are negative and filthy. My sixteens are documented letters while studying my city, I'm appreciative of whats been giving to me eventhough I'm destined for more, destined to soar into the clouds somewhere close to a rainbow...........(Holla at me!)

Chorus: I'll take you where you need to be, where you want to go, I'll show you things, things you need to know, let me place you under my wings, and tell you why --the caged bird sings..........
