caged bird (2025) - israel jones lyrics
intro]
yeah, look
[verse 1]
start of a story — what a better time than now?
stressin’ about [?] had me dissin’ from my precious mouth
my mama sold her son
red ragger but a dough
hunger for protection when the world is coming for your throat
uncle sam need a preach
you shot yourself once you’re bad
inside the answer is a lie, but you believed and called it bad — ugh
i call it life, it comes with ups and downs
fixin’ mistakes to make mistakes — sh*t goin’ round and round
same sh*t, different day — what does daddy even say?
misery and company got open arms
life’s [?], you gotta get right through it
my n****, i writе through it
my trials translucent
smile for little bro
and all my n****s that’s gonе — long live the king
we finna bring it back home
[verse 2]
i was finna quit rap
aaron told me quit that
since then i’ve been on my sh*t — locked in now
walks in the sun, talks with god — how i fix that?
anguish that likes to show up, so what’s the issue?
slide in that chevy, fav browning shotgun
right now i’m shaking off a monster
stop saying you a real n**** when you’re not one
if you don’t know that it’s always chopped and never slopped up
[chorus]
i ride out of a cage
knowing that i’m not in my nature
shawty says you never gonna change
ain’t n0body coming to save ya
[chorus]
i ride out of a cage
knowing that i’m not in my nature
shawty says you never gonna change
ain’t n0body— look
[verse 3]
why find the peace in the future you?
’cause when i take a sec to breathe, life is beautiful
[verse 3]
why find the peace in the future you?
‘cause when i take a sec to breathe, life is beautiful
and i got everything i need, but still i’m not content
gotta feed the baby, pay the rent, i gotta flex for them
i’m seeing love, showing up, i mean in every way
and still i judge myself cause i’m the harshest critic
i’m so sick of fear when i know i’m safe
it’s time to live with confidence– and now i’m talking bigger
look around my view of the world
and i think we all addicted
scared to be our authentic selves cause they’re gonna call you different
we all got trauma and strife
now pass it to your children
curses that never been broken
and it’s up to them to fix it
can’t judge?
n***a i feel it. i’m in the same position
i still got a mountain to move
not idle for a minute
hands shaking, legs getting wobbly, like a turn table
but i know who finna move that mountain when i’m not able
[chorus]
n***a i hop right out of the cage
knowing i’m not in my nature
shawty says i’m never gonna change”
ain’t n0body coming to save you
[chorus]
hey, i hop right out of this cage
knowing that i’m not in my nature
shawty says i’m never gonna change
i’m never gonna hey–
[verse 4]
you want that old school?
with the not*not?
with the what grand?
but where’s the pure?
you want that new school?
with the drop*top?
and the new thing? look at you?
you want the old school?
with the not*not?
where’s the what grand?
where’s the pure?
you want the new school?
with the drop top?
and the new thing? look at you
look at you
we could fly
you and i
right up to the sky
