[chorus]
Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier
When you need to pay up on the rent
And you ain't got nothing in the fridge
Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try
To fly away, to fly away

It's a cold, cold morning and I knot today you feel lonely
Takes all the strength that you have
To get out the bed and try
Don't give up today, help is on the way, whoa
Made mistakes, but I've learned my lesson
Now I know how to count my blessings
Bad times come but soon they pass
Now I know that I don't feel so bad
Don't feel so bad
I did my best, ain't worry bout the rest, whoa

[chorus]
Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier
When you need to pay up on the rent
And you ain't got nothing in the fridge
Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try
To fly away, to fly away

Raised in the ghetto, all I've seen was poverty
Crack sales, dope fiends, a lot of tragedy
No money, no cars, no tv
So I stared thugging, hanging with the og's
Get money on the block, had to keep it move
Age 13 my ready did my first shoot
Mama had to pay the bills, daddy ran the streets
Mama shed so many tears, I couldn't barely see
So I had to be a man at an early age
Moving work, speeding in the fast lane
Cops wanna knock me, send me upstate
A prisoner to this life, gotta make a change
Having suicidal thoughts with me if I'm dreaming
Wanna leave the game alone, but they keep on fiending
So I look up at the sky for guidance
And remember what mama used to say to me

[chorus]
Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier
When you need to pay up on the rent
And you ain't got nothing in the fridge
Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try
To fly away, to fly away

No more excuses, we got a black president
That doing that, doing us, the rest irrelevant
We ain't example for our use so they be better then
The way we were, the way we are, took in a struggle then
They say true blessing come to those
Who going through the worse
Smiling on the outside, so I don't feel the curse
Who's to blame, we not perfect, we all make mistakes
Keep the dream alive, remember we have all the greats
Martin luther king, roser park, harry tubman
Malcolm x, elly whit, al sharpton
Obama hit a home run like jackie robinson
Let's top, make peace and put down the guns
We can relax so together we become on
Stay strong, hold on, show em how it's done
Number one, just keep your faith in god
Better days will come, easy

[chorus]
Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier
When you need to pay up on the rent
And you ain't got nothing in the fridge
Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try
To fly away, to fly away

Dear god, one thing I do know
Is that you don't make mistakes
I know you gave us a black president lord
We wanna thank you for that
That don't mean you gotta stop working hard
Stop having faith
We gotta do better, it's gonna be easier, I promise you
Everything is gonna get a lot easier for you
Just keep your faith in god, all you gotta do is try
To fly away with it baby, you got your baby
Bout know you in school, time seem kinda hard right now
No money, the devil's on you
Everybody try to get you do the wrong thing
But you know what? it's gonna be easier
It's gonna get better, it's got to
God bless america, god bless my world

[chorus]
Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier
When you need to pay up on the rent
And you ain't got nothing in the fridge
Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try
To fly away, to fly away
