REBIRTH - Victor Kwesi Mensah, BJ The Chicago Kid, Peter Cottontale

Hey

How you doing

Folks been saying they see your Mugshot on the news

Well I’m not looking at that you know

I had surgery — I got a lot of pain

But we all do

I know you need to know we’re gonna get through it

Everything is going to be okay

Hurt a lot of people cause we hurt

Been in the game a long time a nigga feet hurt

We all get doubted sometimes as believers

But shit don’t change until you feel the pain of a rebirth

Rebirth

In the same month my debut album drop my pops had surgery on his neck

It left him paralyzed I saw the fear in his eyes, reflected in mine

Next to my mom watching him grieve

Wiping tears from her face with my heart on sleeve

Throwing up the Roc as I stood on stage with Hov

While my own father could barely walk like he’s two years old

And I’m gone on the road so mental state feels like the interstate

All of the travelling took its toll

Guru had a DJ set first night in Toronto

I was off the D’usse swimming in ace of spades

I hit the club with owner’s brothers over the head with the bottle

I was at my breaking point I couldn’t contain my rage

All the aggression that I was reflecting was just depression

Looking at album sales lower than I expected

I wrote my Odyssey on The Autobiography

Felt like Capitol ain’t pull through with all that they promised me

Tatted Alexandra name on my arm as a promise ring

Then I broke it like a joke, now I’m laughing at myself

It’s easier to place the blame on everybody else

I’m yelling fuck the world but it’s really a cry for help

Hurt a lot of people cause we hurt

Been in the game a long time a nigga feet hurt

We all get doubted sometimes as believers

But shit don’t change until you feel the pain of a rebirth

Rebirth

Drowning in controversy I made it my identity

I could be guilty of lack of empathy

Tryna play the hero it made me a public enemy

On point with message but too blunt with my delivery

I should’ve learned not to mix award shows with Hennessey

Point a finger that’s three fingers back in your direction

Sometimes you gotta take a L or two to learn a lesson

I dissed a mother’s dead son I’m sorry Mrs. Jackson

I’ll take the heat I gotta let it burn with my confessions

In the midst of the madness my baby sister had a psychotic break

Spent Christmas in a psych-ward not knowing if she’s in good hands like all

state

That was a tall order for the fam she’s only 5'4″

Now I got my personal all tangled in my mic cord

Could either make you or break you or make you appreciate life more

The only difference is perspective you witnessed my crucifixion now welcome to

my resurrection

Rebirth (rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth)

Oh oh oh

We will fly away oh oh oh oh oh

We’re still alive oh oh oh oh oh

Back from the dead oh oh oh oh oh

We’re still alive oh oh oh oh oh oh

Back from the dead oh oh oh oh oh

I’ll pick you up when you’re drowning I’ll hold you down

I’ll be your sun and provider and your protector (your protector)

I’ll be the one that you follow when you feel down (down, down, down)

We’ll fly away to the sun and we’ll fly away

Fly away

We’ll fly away

Fly away (We can go high high high high high high)

We’ll fly away

Fly away (We can go)

We’ll fly away

Fly away (We can go high high, go right now)

We’ll fly away

Fly away

We’ll fly away

Fly away

We’ll fly away

Fly away (higher and higher)

We’ll fly away

Fly away

We’ll fly away

Until God comes

Fly away

We’ll fly away

Higher and higher

Fly away

We’ll fly away (fly away)

Fly away

We’ll fly away

Fly away

We’ll fly away
