[00:00.00]If you if you do
[00:01.85]spread your wings please let me know
[00:04.44]take me with you when you go
[00:07.41]You can't leave me here alone
[00:11.49]If you do, spread your wings please let me know
[00:15.44]take me with you when you go
[00:18.37]You can't leave me here alone
[00:23.20]I claim to be a man of faith, I told her from the start
[00:25.90]a shame to say she has my heart and still I won't depart
[00:28.74]my art, it got me 'tween a rock and a brick wall
[00:31.49]and my journey to her's feelin like a game of Pitfall
[00:34.53]and all she wanna do is study english, law and history
[00:37.30]and I'm a mystery, a life with me's like a gypsy
[00:40.10]
[00:42.20]cause the South is in my chest, and I don't wanna fly it's nest
[00:45.23]Lord, I'm young, gifted and black
[00:47.66]thanks for that, but help me sift through the facts, please
[00:51.05]with her on my team I'm feelin like a King
[00:53.33]findin' comfort in her Heat and we just want a couple rings
[00:56.07]but the thing? the throne's in my old Kentucky home and
[00:59.04]it need me more than us, I can feel it in our tone
[01:01.57]we ain't ready for the leap, maybe one day we'll be grown
[01:04.37]and step outside our comfort zone
[01:06.75]If you do, spread your wings please let me know
[01:10.60]take me with you when you go
[01:13.62]You can't leave me here alone
[01:17.59]If you do, spread your wings please let me know
[01:21.72]take me with you when you go
[01:24.75]You can't leave me here alone
[01:29.46]You the apple of my eye before the seed was planted
[01:32.67]Proceed to vanish before I could even see the damage
[01:35.23]Beneath a sea of Zanax
[01:36.70]She provide the X, I provide the Y
[01:38.83]But why did she concede to panic?
[01:40.55]The plea that she demanded
[01:42.11]To her it seemed so even-handed
[01:43.75]I seen no advantage and so I'm screamin damnit
[01:46.13]Wish you could see Atlanta
[01:47.58]Wish you could see your Nana
[01:48.79]Wish you could see that I believed that we should be together
[01:51.75]But I did not protect you
[01:53.11]Cus I did not correct her
[01:54.54]I learned a lesson that I guess I didn't earn your presence
[01:57.43]Concern was ever-present
[01:58.63]If I could turn back the hands of time I'd return to find her on the 11th
[02:02.80]The day she seen the premise
[02:04.05]That if she left the clinic premises without your essence
[02:06.72]She'd relieve her stresses
[02:08.07]See we agreed that it's a woman's preference
[02:10.37]But if she loved me she'd have second-guessed it
[02:12.40]And now I keep sayin
[02:12.94]If you do, spread your wings please let me know
[02:17.08]take me with you when you go
[02:19.77]You can't leave me here alone
[02:23.98]If you do, spread your wings please let me know
[02:28.11]take me with you when you go
[02:30.86]You can't leave me here alone
