Mama told me not to waste my life
she said spread your wings
my little butterfly
Don't let what they say,
keep you up at night
and if they give you Sh...
then they can walk on by
 
Feet, feet can't touch the ground
and i can't hear a sound
but you just keep on running up your mouth,
Yeah
Walk, walk on over there
'cos i'm too fly to caaare
Oh Yeeeah
 
Your words don't mean a thing,
i'm not listening,
keep talking all i know is
 
(Chorus)
 
Mama told me not to waste my life
she said spread your wings
my little butterfly
Don't let what they say,
keep you up at night
and they can't detain you
'cos wings are made to fly
and we don't let nobody bring us down
no matter what you say
it won't hurt me
Don't matter if i fall from the sky
these wings are made to fly
 
I'm firing up on that runway
i know we're gonna get there someday
but we don't need no ready steady go
No
Talk, talk turns into air
i don't even caaare
Oh yeeeah
 
Your words don't mean a thing,
i'm not listening,
keep talking all i know is
 
(Chorus)
 
Mama told me not to waste my life
she said spread your wings
my little butterfly
Don't let what they say,
keep you up at night
and they can't detain you
'cos wings are made to fly
and we don't let nobody bring us down
no matter what you say
it won't hurt me
Don't matter if i fall from the sky
these wings are made to fly
 
I don't need no one saying
Hey (x4)
I don't hear no one saying
Hey (x8)
You'd better keep on walking
i don't wanna hear you talking
Boy'd
You'd better keep on walking
i don't wanna hear you talking
 
Your words don't mean a thing,
i'm not listening,
they're just like water
off my wings
 
(Chorus)
 
Mama told me not to waste my life
she said spread your wings
my little butterfly
Don't let what they say,
keep you up at night
and they can't detain you
'cos wings are made to fly
and we don't let nobody bring us down
no matter what you say
it won't hurt me
Don't matter if i fall from the sky
these wings are made to fly
 
and we don't let nobody bring us down
no matter what you say
it won't hurt me
Don't matter if i fall from the sky
these wings are made to fly.
