Angel, don't fly so close to me
I pull you down eventually
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'm what you want, not what you need
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
I give it all up to ease your pain, yeah, I would do that all day
I stepped back from the game to keep you out of harm's way
Risk it all for the game but it take more than one person
Two people one 'til I feel the same when you hurtin'
I was still in middle school when Givens fled the whip
Bodies were droppin' before we ever knew 'bout the truck
We gonna be family no matter what way this go, brother
From the ugly corner where everybody betray each other
I let you hang in the jets, I let you bang with my set
Put you before my own flesh like why’d I ever do that?
Me and the streets got soul ties
The devil on my shoulder he whisper but I told him
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I pull you down eventually
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'm what you want, not what you need
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Generation curses of disloyalty, we breakin' that
Lost my dawg, got him back
Took him in, we shakin' back
Struggle never broke us, it just made us who we is
Losses taught a lot of lessons
Made the wins feelin' like blessings
Family all that you got at the end
Hope you get the message
I ain't tryin' to make it without you
But if I got to then I got you
This ain't about me, it's about the whole cake
We can take a slice on a different day
Just keep your plate
God, family, hustle, goals
Heart, mind, body, soul
Watching out for street signs on a narrow road
Heaven at the end, prayin' for the lost souls with my angels
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know, don't you know?
I will never let you down
No, I'll never be perfect
Never want to see you hurtin'
You should go, you should go
Get away fast a hundred on the dash tonight
Wish it didn't have to be this way
Angel, don't fly so close to me (My angel, don't close to me)
I pull you down eventually
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'm what you want, not what you need
You don't want to lose those wings (Lose those wings)
People like me break beautiful things
