Verse 1 :

One the south side, Bronx was the borrough
Gang life livin', he be reppin' it thorrough
5 till he die, always down to ride
If he ever seen a 6, He was quick to pull the 9
His mama on the rock, and she always be gone
He seen his daddy twice, he ain't never coming home
Failing outta school cause he think he's to cool
Rather be flipping packs, making stacks, instead of learning something new
But, he's getting tired of that same routine
Every day, morning to night, it's the same old thing
Questioning his reality, is there more than it seems
It seems as if someone some lies and a fake dream
Certainly time for change
Easier said then done, there's so many things in the way
And just when he was about to put his best foot foward
His ex sent him a text, said she was pregnant with his daughter

Chorus :

Oooh, Tethered to the ground
Weighed down by the pain in my life
If I could ride a gust of wind into the sky
I would FLY AWAY
I wanna FLY AWAY
Far away to a better day
If I could FLY AWAY

Verse 2 :

I got the text at 4, hit my man Snow
Told him let's go, I need to smoke
Bring a bag of Red Dro
Red Jordans, Chicago Bulls fitted
All red everything, red in my vision
Mad at the world that I live in, They ain't giving a smidgen
Saying I'll either end up dead or in prison
At the stop light, Snow passed the blunt and as I started to hit it
I noticed to Semi Autos as they lifted and started spitting
And rippin' through the cutlasses exterior
Piercing in the cardilage and the muscles interior
I took 3 slugs, and pulled my 45
Blood in my eyes, not even aiming
Just banging, praying I slay 'em!
It's ironinc this pool of blood that I lay in
Who's really claiming who in the game of hooligans flaggin?
I look up at Snow and he's fading
His face is white as december
And the sound of police sirens is the last thing I remember

Chorus :

Oooh, Tethered to the ground
Weighed down by the pain in my life
If I could ride a gust of wind into the sky
I would FLY AWAY
I wanna FLY AWAY
Far away to a better day
If I could FLY AWAY

Verse 3 :

The homie Snow died, he got sentenced to 5
Got him tatted on his chest when he went inside
Baby mama writes saying how she gon ride
He writes her back and he says goodbye
Never asked you to ride for me
Never asked you to cry for me
Wipe your tears away
Don't through your years away
Can't you see that it'll be a waste
But she refuses to listen, years go by and she becomes a Christian
Starts ministering to him at the visits
He don't even recognize her like "Who is this?"
Finally Gods mercy breaks his heart and he gives his
5 point crown as the Blood lays it down
Before the Blood Covered crown king of love
And so it goes in the story of war & peace
A testimony to the homies thats on the streets

Chorus :

Oooh, Tethered to the ground
Weighed down by the pain in my life
If I could ride a gust of wind into the sky
I would FLY AWAY
I wanna FLY AWAY
Far away to a better day
If I could FLY AWAY
