Lyrics
Yellow bird, Yellow bird, don't fly away
Won't chya stay
Yellow bird, yellow bird, don't fly away
No, not today
You just go on
To the night
Lead me on home
To the light
ft. Nas:
Verse 1
Yellow Bird mean love, it's not a drug nor complexion
Necessarily, it's an expression a canary sings
If that canary don't sing, I train her
On the wings of love I took the top from the Wrangler
She ridin' shotgun with her shades on, the day come
I put a natural yellow rock on your finger,
What a queen of love, lookin' at you smile then you change up
Uou a bright sunny morning', sex amazin'
I said it since day one, we was meant to be
When you put my clothes on and started posin' like a G
Play fully with my chain you liked what you see
Love when her daddy do it, no one quite like me
No games, no side tricks, we see eye to eye maybe not when your heels are five inch
You so fly, you so mine, it's me you dyin' wit, fuckin' Nas wit later on, we spoon"
Verse 2
I'm in the game, women only want my money or fame
When they notice the cameras they put em on blast
So they feel I have so much ass they ask, 'what does he want from me?'
She he can have whoever he wants for company
They like, 'he a slut, he a hoe, he a freak', he my childhood crush, who I met in '03
Now I need a simple life with a Christian man
I was like 'fuck it get this money get this sour, keep-keep slippin''
I bumped into her, looking' at her.. not in a lustin' manner,
But in a 'we need an introduction manner
I need her like fresh water from the springs of Florida
She hot for reasons more than one
Underneath the warm sun at Coachella where I met her
She was starin', since we begun to hang you my number one thing
Tell me your troubles, I'll listen I'll try to numb your pain
You like to hug your king, I'll call you the color queen
