Bird W/O Nest Lyrics
[Verse 1: Alice Longyu Gao]
Flying heading out west
Singing bird without a nest
Winter frozen outside
The Christmas lights in the dark blue sky
[Chorus: Alice Longyu Gao]
I’ll get by, I’ll get by
Wait till I am strong
I will make my nest
From something real
I’ll get by
Wait till I am stronger
I will trade those twigs
For wood and steel
[Post-Chorus: Alice Longyu Gao]
Ooh
[?]
[Verse 2: Danny Brown]
Spread my wings and get my eagle on
Like nelly on a troop song
I don’t need a home ([?])
Like that poppa I’m a rolling stone
Seeking peace so leave me along (Along)
I’d rather be alone (Alone)
I keep it bottled like I sell cologne
Don’t need nobody help
So I’ma do this all on my own
I’ve grown to learn to
Take everything with a grain of salt (Uh-huh)
Found who I was when myself got loss [?] I’m off that
And on to better things for my mental health
I learned that I only hurt myself when didn’t ask for help
(Ask for help) So now I take them steps (Steps)
To rebuild whats left (Left)
Flying high through the sky
Like a bird without a nest (Uh)
[Chorus: Alice Longyu Gao]
Wait till I am strong
I will make my nest
From something real
I’ll get by
Wait till I am stronger
I will trade those twigs
For wood and steel
I’ll get by
Wait till I’m strong
I’ll make my nest
From something real
I’ll get by
Wait till I am stronger
I will trade those twigs
For wood and steel
[Outro]
Trying
Trying my best
Singing
Bird without a nest
