Angel, don't fly so close to me
I pull you down eventually
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'm what you want, not what you need
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
I give it all up
To ease your pain
Yeah, I would do that all day
I stepped back from the game
To keep you out of harm's way
Risk it all for the game
But it take more than one person
Two people one
'til I feel the same when you hurting
I was still in middle school
When Givens fled the whip
Bodies were dropping
Before we ever knew 'bout the truck
We gonna be family
No matter what way this go, brother
From the ugly corner
Where everybody betray each other
I let you hang in the jets
I let you bang with my set
Put you before my own flesh
Like why'd I ever do that
Me and the streets got soul ties
The devil on my shoulder
He whisper but I told him
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I pull you down eventually
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'm what you want, not what you need
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Generation curses of disloyalty, we breakin' that
Lost my dawg, got him back
Took him in, we shakin' back
Struggle never broke us
It just made us who we is
Losses taught a lot of lessons
Made the wins feelin' like blessings
Family all that you got at the end
Hope you get the message
I ain't tryin' to make it without you
But if I got to
Then I got you
This ain't about me
It's about the whole cake
We can take a slice
On a different day
Just keep your plate
God, family, hustle, goals
Heart, mind, body, soul
Watching out for street signs
On a narrow road
Heaven at the end
Prayin' for the lost souls with my angels
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know, don't you know
I will never let you down
No, I'll never be perfect
Never want to see you hurting
You should go, you should go
Get away fast
A hundred on the dash tonight
Wish it didn't have to be this way
My angel, don't fly so close to me
I pull you down eventually
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'm what you want, not what you need
You don't want to lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
