Jordan Bratton - Prisoner lyrics

rate me

Ft. Chance The Rapper

(Verse: Jordan Bratton)

Just becuz it glows, that doesn't mean everything's on show

No riches don't make a happy home, no riches don't compensate fo' soul, diamond just a stone

She gives everythin' to sumethin' that don't mean anythin'

But that's all she knows

She'll neva go back the way she came, came

Now is this just a prisoner witout a cage?

Not a life she chose but she followed the gold code it wrote

What she wanted, it couldn't be sold, she started to lose her way

Ya didn't take communion after the sermon

Ya don't believe there's a God above ya wit His plan fo' ya

So ya sniff it and drink and changing who ya are

Things that make ya feel alive, sumething wrong wit that

But I feel fo' ya

(Hook)

Now is this just a prisoner witout a cage?

So trapped in this life, ya betta make it out alive

Ya betta give it anotha try or ya won't make it out alive

(Verse 2: Chance The Rapper)

Cage bird singing on tour just an amateur tryin' to mature

Grew so fast that she neva grew up

Got to move sumewhere new just cuz it's newer

Everyday it rain where she live, she say ya letting all the air out

TVs are fo' windows where she stare out, extra hours at parties

Tryin' to find sum' jacket she don't even care about

She ain't even wear it out, buildin' nests on arms, Breast so warm

Ya think of mother's bosom

She's so green you would flip but probly shouldn't

I hope she catch a tail and her circles get smaller

Befo' the drill ain't a drill and the wolf is fo' real

And the wolf is fo' real

(Hook)

(Outro)

Now silent and slowly after a while she's lonely

She waits to die a living waste of time

All this green, no blue skies

All sunny days are cold as ice

The frozen sun she's trapped inside

Is it just, is it just a prisoner witout a cage?
