Song by Nelly<br /><br>

Free City<br>

This is a shout out to every young brother<br>

Doing his bid right now<br>

Keep your head up<br>

he's walking the yard wishing he has wings<br>

Ya know fly right out of that joint<br>

Yeah, man<br>

<br>

(Chorus:)<br>

If I could fly away<br>

Ew, I wouldn't come back no more<br>

I'd turn around just to see you for the last time<br>

See know I know, hey that won't be easy<br>

I fought through every battle, I'd made it this far<br>

I got a few more feet, but it's still the longest yard<br>

<br>

Man it's the longest yard I ever had to get in my life<br>

See my life ain't right and my right don't wright<br>

My niggas can't eat if the fish don't bite<br>

My razor grows hairs like Mike at night<br>

My big brother all mighty, I keep my ray I'm a G five G<br>

I take a G five deep to my G is deep <br>

On Murphy and the G don't speak<br>

Listen man we don't get down round hurr<br>

The body bag, you found and gagged right hurr<br>

It's as serious as the sound right hurr<br>

The guards guard the ground, four pounds right hurr<br>

They ain't playin, they just lettin ya know<br>

That anything that will happen will happen real slow<br>

That the word from upstairs till you in that hole<br>

I can't take it, I'm just ready to go<br>

<br>

(Chorus:)<br>

If I could fly away<br>

Ew, I wouldn't come back no more<br>

I'd turn around just to see you for the last time<br>

See know I know, hey that won't be easy<br>

I fought through every battle, I'd made it this far<br>

I got a few more feet, but it's still the longest yard<br>

<br>

Yeah, yeah it's still the longest yard<br>

Uh, uh, It's still the longest yard<br>

Uh, uh, it's still the longest yard<br>

I fought through every battle I'd made it this far (this far)<br>

<br>

I'm in my cell 20 hours a day <br>

I'm doin push ups every hour a day<br>

Cuz I'm tryin to keep the cowards away<br>

That's why I'm markin off the calendar days<br>

Tryin ta get it out of the way<br>

And I'm just tryin ta keep a piece of mind<br>

And I'll strike a muh Fucka with a piece of mine<br>

Cus he tryin to take a piece of mine<br>

So Ima slice his a ass one piece of the time<br>

But not that they closed the door, lock me in<br>

In a cell thirty deep, but it's built for ten<br>

What kind of world they got you in, with a barb wire fence that box you in<br>

From now till they turn off the lights, I'm a read every thing in sight<br>

It's kind tryin of hard to read at night<br>

But Ima change my life and help anotha brotha take this fight<br>

<br>

If I could fly away<br>

Ew, I wouldn't come back no more<br>

I'd turn around just to see you for the last time<br>

See know I know, hey that won't be easy<br>

I fought through every battle, I'd made it this far<br>

I got a few more feet, but it's still the longest yard<br>

<br>

Yeah, yeah it's still the longest yard<br>

Uh, uh, It's still the longest yard<br>

Uh, uh, it's still the longest yard<br>

I fought through every battle I'd made it this far (this far)<br>

<br>

Oh no, I gotta make it out this place some how<br>

Oh no, Man I really believe that I could turn it around<br>

Oh no, You see all I need is that second chance to show<br>

Since the incarceration my obligation to rehabilitation<br>

Oh no, they can punch behind, they can kick me low<br>

Oh no, Spit on me, It's gonna take more than that for them to break my sould<br>

I said oh no, man it's for people to understand how it's like to be<br>

Jaded, incarcerated, most can't take it<br>

And I can't wait to see better days<br>

<br>

(Chorus:)<br>

If I could fly away<br>

Ew, I wouldn't come back no more<br>

I'd turn around just to see you for the last time<br>

See know I know, hey that won't be easy<br>

I fought through every battle, I'd made it this far<br>

I got a few more feet, but it's still the longest yard<br>

<br>

Yeah, yeah it's still the longest yard<br>

Uh, uh, It's still the longest yard<br>

Uh, uh, it's still the longest yard<br>

I fought through every battle I'd made it this far (this far)<br>

<br>

If I could fly away<br>

If I could, I'd turn around<br>

If I could fly away<br>

If I could, I'd turn around<br>

If I could fly away<br>

<br>
