Canary Dreams - Akua Naru, Cody ChesnuTT

Ooh, high

Watch me spread my wings and fly

To these dreams of mine

And ain’t nobody bad enough to stop me (Naru)

Ooh, high (Uh, ChesnuTT)

High, high (Yeah, uh)

To fly (Oh yes)

Fly, fly (Uh)

Canary dreams you know all about

Cage in a world of doubt

Given the flight less travelled, you took the only route

Brave and talked about

Made famous in the Dirty South

Talk of plantations give you cotton mouth

Others write your fate till you chirp and set the record straight

Ancient and future rage, freedom get another cage

The world can’t afford your pain

Recorded by poor back

When cats used to wonder why you sing

Your story and shine as I chant and scribe

Play and pause, heard justice, rewind

The fast-forward, you gotta fly

«How high?»

said the wing to the sky

Who you think put that seed in your mind?

Perched upon the

Till the window cracked, brought you back a design

Abstract, divine, Maya Michelangelo kind

Painted on the poster, morning porch is spoken in rhyme

Nas told you «The world is yours», just open your eyes

It’s like

Ooh, high (Canary dreams you know all about)

Watch me spread my wings and fly

To these dreams of mine (Yeah)

And ain’t nobody bad enough to stop me (Tell me)

Ooh, high (Canary dreams you know all about)

High, high

To fly (Ain't nobody bad enough)

Fly, fly

Yo, despite the Lord, a darker dream in color till a fire spark

Hakeem Olajuwon, center, the words inside the heart

A work of art, Mars Phoenix

Serena Williams, stars beam at me in those dreamin' eyes of mine

Could see 'em reach, elusive, wet, deferred, nightmares reoccur

Like I’m that lonely bird content with bread crumbs on the curb

Woke up disturbed with ruffled feathers, Lord workin' my nerves

Ancestors send a message: «Yo, you better be home»

Regressions to past lives be recited in poem

Dreamin' real word, sit side by side on the throne

And architect future moments bought for thoughts in your dome

For lady saw another sycamore tree in the grove

Why enter on life stage is what ponder I these days

After grandma came in the night with a question to raise

«It's not the picture, baby, challenge the frame»

And disappeared in a clouded haze

Whistlin', surely sees a angel sigh my name

Ooh, high (ChesnuTT, you know all about)

Watch me spread my wings and fly

To these dreams of mine (Ain't nobody bad enough)

And ain’t nobody bad enough to stop me (Tell me)

Ooh, high (Uh, Canary dreams you know all about)

High, high

To fly (And ain’t nobody bad enough, Lord)

Fly, fly (The world is yours)

Ooh, high (ChesnuTT, you know all about)

(High, high) Ain’t nobody bad enough to stop me

(To fly) Nobody bad enough to stop me

(Fly, fly) Nobody bad enough to stop me

(Ooh, high) Nobody bad enough to stop me (Canary dreams you know all about)

(High, high) Nobody bad enough to stop me

(To fly) Nobody bad enough to stop me (The world is yours)

(Fly, fly) Nobody bad enough to
