Birdie
Kota the Friend Hello Oshay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can take a boat ride
We can make a milli' with no cosign
We could go to Europe
We could go to Africa, winter in Johannesburg
It don't really matter love
We ain't in a competition, ain't nobody catching up
Young, free and black with a whole lot of stamina
We are more than okay
Still reminiscing on the old days
I still take the book with a low spade
So what you tryna do
Everything good as long as I'm with you
I was in survival mode, now I got a lot to lose
I was in the dark stuck, now my light shining through
You been through a whole lot
And I feel like we both could use a vacay
We could go to Barcelona Spain for an eight day
We could see a horror movie like we in the 8th grade
Don't let 'em tell you what you can't do
There ain't nothing that you can't handle
It mean a whole lot that you love me, even when I wake up ugly

I'm with you on the way up to the wake up
By your side when the day comes
Time goes by I'm the same one, the same one, the same one
On the wake up, way up
By your side when the day comes
Time goes by I'm the same one, you the same one, the same one

Sunshine, sunshine
Rain on your window
Tryna make it out
Tryna figure out how to make it
'Cause she ain't really got much
But more than she did last year
And boy that was a tough one
And she ain't ever going back there
I feel you, I feel you like
I was there with you like
That wasn't good for you anyway
Girl why are you tripping, just get to your business, is all
Stick to your visions, is all
Learn how to get up as quick as you fall
And if you need a hug you can call me
And you can mentally lay on me

I'm with you on the way up to the wake up
By your side when the day comes
Time goes by I'm the same one, the same one, the same one
On the wake up, way up
By your side when the day comes
Time goes by I'm the same one, you the same one, the same one

Summer in Tijuana or Rio
That is our only dilemma
Started with zero, started with nothing
Tell me what you want, you can have it all
You just say the word
You could take what you deserve, there's enough to go around, look
You believe in me as much as I believe in you
And you do not belong to me, and I do not belong to you
We free to be and do what we born to be
Assume the high position as the king and queen
I love an underdog story
I'm happy you is my shorty
We been through hell and back, on this journey, but where heaven at?
I'm freeing birdies left and right, I'll never get them back
I watch them fly away

I'm with you on the way up to the wake up
By your side when the day comes
Time goes by I'm the same one, the same one, the same one
On the wake up, way up




By your side when the day comes
Time goes by I'm the same one, you the same one, the same one
