Fly Away
B.G. System Lyrics

Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird
Repeating the phrase to emphasize the importance of spreading one's wings and flying away from a situation

Spread your wings
Taking control of one's life and embracing change

And fly away
Leaving behind a situation that is not conducive to one's well-being

I should have known, but this won't ever work here
Acknowledging that a situation is not working out and realizing it may never work

Honestly realized it way back in our first year
Reflecting on a realization that was evident from the start of a relationship

I'm not even religious, but hope there's a church near
Expressing a desire for guidance and support in a difficult situation

It's whiskey on my lips and it's been too much thirst here
Using alcohol to numb the pain of an unhealthy situation

My lifestyle is getting outta hand
Realizing that one's current way of living is unsustainable

And calm down I take a xan
Using medication to alleviate anxiety and stress

Did too much blow tonight, I try to sleep but I can't
Struggling with addiction and its effects on sleep and mental health

Ignoring phone calls, when she hit me I don't answer
Avoiding confrontation and communication with a partner or loved one

'Cause I'm faded, I ain't tryna listen to another lecture
Being under the influence and not receptive to advice or criticism

These drugs are the only way I'm escapin' from the pressure
Using drugs as a coping mechanism for life's stresses

You don't know what it's like for me, you got no way to measure
Feeling misunderstood and struggling to communicate the depth of one's problems

She said "I know you well, why you don't let me in to help you?
Offering support and expressing concern for a loved one who is struggling

These groupies at these parties, they don't even know the real you
Feeling misunderstood and frustrated by shallow interactions with others

I'm worried 'bout you, hope you never do enough to kill you
Expressing concern for a loved one's well-being and safety

Decide what you want, 'cause I can only wait until you
Encouraging a loved one to make a decision on their own and take control of their life

If I don't make you happy, hope success and all the wealth do
Wishing the best for a loved one, even if they do not choose to stay in the relationship

The toughest part is letting go
Recognizing that moving on from a situation is difficult

Million times you saw the cliff, but never jumped to end it though
Knowing that a bad situation had warning signs, but not taking action to end it

Mistakes can always turn into another lesson though
Finding growth and learning in difficult situations

Say I'm selfish, but you're telling me what I already know
Admitting to selfish behavior, but not wanting to hear criticism from a partner

If you were smart you would run away and never let me know
Advising a loved one to leave a toxic situation and not look back

Where you went, so I can't chase you there, fly away and go
Encouraging a partner to leave and not share their location to avoid being pursued

Don't ask about me, you'll be happier the less you know
Advising a partner to not inquire about the singer's well-being to avoid complications

Nothing'll change if we keep staying put like we're in control
Realizing that change will not come if one does not take action

But you just don't budge, you just like an old judge
Feeling frustrated with a partner's stubbornness and refusal to change

Can't you see we got stains on this? This is no smudge
Recognizing that there are deep-seated issues in the relationship that cannot be easily resolved

If only we could live with no liquor, no drugs
Fantasizing about a life without addiction and unhealthy coping mechanisms

You got every right to hate me, but you still hold no grudge
Acknowledging that a partner has the right to be angry, but appreciating their forgiveness

You gotta go, even though it hurts, is this for certain
Accepting that letting go of a relationship is painful, but necessary

Even though I'd hate to see you with another person
Feeling jealous and possessive over a partner, even if the relationship is unhealthy

And even though you'll always be there in my heart just lurking
Knowing that the memory of a loved one will stay with the artist, even if they move on

Haunting me, I gotta find myself and now I'm searchin'
Feeling haunted by the memory of a loved one and trying to find oneself in the aftermath of a relationship

I wish you happiness, one day you'll find the right one
Wishing a partner the best in life and hoping they find someone who treats them with love and respect

You're a queen, you deserve to be treated like one
Affirming the worth and dignity of a partner and hoping they find someone who recognizes their value

Vacation for the mind every time I go to light one
Using drugs as a temporary escape from reality and its stresses

Karma is a bitch, I'm well aware one day it might come
Acknowledging that actions have consequences and realizing that karma may affect the singer in the future

Yeah, one day it might come
Acknowledging the inevitability of karma catching up with the artist
