Sick of reminiscing of them good old days Prescription let me down, I was getting played Every day is a miracle how we went astray Didn't notice how we lost them, I'm ashamed Back when nothing mattered Back when bottles shattered And there was no pattern We was getting hammered When we had no manners Thinking, "damn what happened?" Gap year, turned in to decade Shit went out of fashion Question never asked, never got answered Different kinds of passion Blinded by the lights and action Hard to stop when you just getting traction, belts unfastened Went from hand-me-downs to satin That's a mighty ass attraction I'm the definition of the free bird Earned the recognition didn't deserve Put me in a cage, keep me submerged That ain't ever gonna work That ain't ever gonna work hey I'm the definition of the free bird Fuck permission, Imma part of free world Burn a page, but remember my verse yeah I'm a free bird yeah I'm a free bird yeah Shackles on my legs, but you can't take away my wings Flannel shirts and baseball caps, I done crowned me king Backwood paths I'm on, breeze of wind on my skin Makes me feel alive again, makes my hearth fulfilled Let me do my thing and don't tell me nothing Don't waste your time, I got it locked in And Imma let those strings ring, they'll do the talking And Imma keep on walking I don't need a foreman And if one day Imma fall and hit the rock bottom I'm still above the law because the law don't care about us And if one day Imma fall and hit the rock bottom I'm still above the law because the law don't care about us And if one day Imma fall and hit the rock bottom Don't let me be forgotten, sing about my blossom And if they say Imma fool who should've never got up Guess my wings colossal, guess the flight is not done I'm the definition of the free bird Earned the recognition didn't deserve Put me in a cage, keep me submerged That ain't ever gonna work That ain't ever gonna work hey I'm the definition of the free bird Fuck permission, Imma part of free world Burn a page, but remember my verse yeah I'm a free bird yeah I'm a free bird yeah
