Anderson Paak - The Bird Lyrics

[Hook]
A bird with the word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now my luck was taking over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm making do
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
A bird with the word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now my luck was taking over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm making do
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do

[Verse 1]
I'm repping for the longest cycle, mm
My uncles had to pay the cost, mm
My sister used to sing to Whitney, mm
My mama caught the gambling bug, mm
We came up in a lonely castle, mm
My papa was behind them bars, mm
We never had to want for nothing, mm
Said all we ever need is love, mm
We see the same things
Oh-oh-oh
We sing the same songs
Oh-oh-oh
We feel the same grief
Oh-oh-oh
Bleed the same blood
You grew up in the home beside me
I always had a friend to call
How could I make it here without you? MM
I pray I leave before you're gone

[Hook]
A bird with a word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now I look, what's taking over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up, just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm making do
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do
A bird with the word came to me
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
And now my luck was taking over me
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
I had to wake up just to make it through
I got my patience and I'm making do
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to follow what the greatest do

[Outro]
Hey, my little youth is crying
I'm almost home, almost home
Look no further riots, mm
Working my fingers to the bone
See I do the best I can, mm
Mama was a farmer, mm
Papa was a goner, mm
