Mama told me not to
waste my life
she said spread your
wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say
keep you up at night
and if they give you
shhhh then they can
walk on by
My feet, feet can't
touch the ground
and I can't hear a sound
But you just keep on
running up your mouth
yeah
walk, walk on over there
'cause I'm too fly to care
Oh yeah
your words
don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking all I know is
mama told me not to
waste my life she said
spread your wings
my little butterfly
Don't let what they say
keep you up at night
and they can't detain you
'cause wings are
made to fl...y
And we don't let nobody
bring us down
no matter what you say
it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall
from the sky
These wings are
made to fly
wow hey hey
wow
I'm firing up on
that runway
I know we're gonna
get there some day
But we don't need
no ready steady go, no
talk, talk turns into air
and I don't even care
Oh yeah
your words
don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking all I know is
mama told me not to
waste my life she said
spread your wings
my little butterfly
Don't let what they say
keep you up at night
and they can't detain you
'cause wings are
made to fl...y
And we don't let nobody
bring us down
no matter what you say
it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall
from the sky
These wings are
made to fly
I don't need
no-one saying
hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no-one saying
hey, hey, hey, hey
you'd better keep
on walking
I don't wanna hear
your talking boy
you'd better keep
on walking
I don't wanna hear
your talking boy
your words
don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
They're just like water
