Your Soul Must Fly - Derek Minor

We all came from nothing

Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie

You were made for greatness

And if I can do it you can do it too

But your soul must fly

Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y

Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y

See I been to the top of the mountain

And have in my possessions things that you calling astounding Accomplished most

the things I want now I’m guessing my purpose

A lot of dreams I put my worth in starting to feel worthless

Can gold plaques bring my dad back

Or some of these trophies and awards help get my people on track

Or can my Spotify streams help that cop think before he pull the trigger

I can’t fix that with ten figures

Over property that we don’t own, we gunning down each other

Trying to make them ends meet but that EBT don’t cover

Rob, cheat, sell dope, even if that mean killing each other

Then the prison system eat off all our death just like vultures

I just call it like it is

I know that sin killing friends

Yea I know that we all see it, we don’t know we’ll live again

We chase the American dream for a long price

But before you die, let your soul fly

We all came from nothing

Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie

You were made for greatness

And if I can do it you can do it too

But your soul must fly

Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y

Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y

Your soul must fly, High above the trap

By any means, what happened to your wings

What happened to your dreams

Did this world snatch 'em

You can float above it all

Why let the devil drag you

May not reach perfection but here’s a valuable lesson

More money that you get, the more stressing, Big taught me that

At all times keep your head up, 'Pac taught me that

No possession on this earth can match my worth, God taught me that

In this May weather, the sun out but I’m feeling cold as December

Trying to dodge God’s hand but my arms way too short to box with Him

What I mean is I been disconnected from the one that really show me how to live

I been trying to feel, I been trying to feel, I been trying to feel,

I been trying to feel

I found out some friends will turn they back on you

Love of money the root of evil

How we value the talent but not value the people

Some even use God’s name for money and fame

But you can never fly carrying all of those weights

We all came from nothing

Everything that we got is out the mud, out the mud no lie

You were made for greatness

And if I can do it you can do it too

But your soul must fly

Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y

Your soul must fly-y-y-y-y-y
