Raury - Butterfly Lyrics






Sometimes I wish I could be a butterfly
Flying by, flying high
Sometimes I have visions of suicide
Take it away, help me erase
Oh yea, oh yea
Why don't you take it away, help me erase
Oh yea, oh yea

I'm just a young nigga that no one knew
I grew alone to be alone is nothing new
With the whole world in front of me
Wrote this song here for the bitches that front on me
And niggas that stunt on me
I walked the school halls they would call me a wannabe
I did the small shows that nobody would come to see
I gave in to madness I would cave in to sadness
I would only imagine that
I'd become a nigga like this
I'mma chase my dreams with a suicide wish
All these motherfuckers treat me like a side dish
They come like the crystals when I'm making acid
When I ain't had no friends I was on my grind
I cannot pretend, got my dividends
As a middle man
Now I can make a fam I can cop a benz
Ain't no stopping him
Under pressure from the evils up above

Sometimes I wish I could be a butterfly
Flying by, flying high
Sometimes I have visions of suicide
Take it away, help me erase
Oh yea

Fuckin' nigga you don't like me
You're just using me
All this friendliness is new to me
Who are you to me?
When them highschool parties got to jumping not including me
I don't trust nobody now 'cause everybody cool with me
But you just want what I got
But when I needed rides never had a spot
But look at how them tables got them nice turn tops
It's time for you to wonder if I fuck with you or not
You are not, you are not
Claim you're real but you are not
And since I left the 285 a nigga learned a lot
The wicked make it in this game the real ones they do not
So all my heros fake and all my idols false and forgot that
They're the only reason I was breathing
When I was fourteen I was thinking 'bout leaving
Alone up in my room with guitars every weekday every weekend
And a hand full of pills nobody knew about my secrets

Sometimes I wish I could be a butterfly
Flying by, flying high
Sometimes I have visions of suicide
Take it away, help me erase
Oh yea

  51. J.... T....

    The lyrics connected to me so much man. It was like my life but in song. This my new favorite now.

  52. 1.... !....

    I've begging through a rough patch lately and I attempted to overdose but somehow I woke up the next morning I guess it a sign that I shouldn't kill myself so for now in going to be a butterfly

  53. F.... S....

    I edit pictures I take to raury and Jaden cause they are the only bright youngsters I see in the game today

  54. K.... ....

    song about my life

  55. R.... -....

    Raury = God

  56. J.... ....

    So does anyone else mkre or less relate to this song or is it just me? Minus the suicide bit tho your boy likes living😂

  57. J.... W....

    real street nigga banging yo shit raury keep at shit up 🔥🔥🔥

  58. M.... H....

    so so so soothing <3

  59. N.... ....

    He said he made it but keeps sounding depressed...I don't like the chorus.

  60. S.... ....

    Brah why isn't this on spotify?

  61. N.... H....

    This song really hits home. I can relate to what he says about grinding and not having any friends. One could pray that he and Cudi make a song.

  62. R.... M....

    the beginning sounded like Somebody Once Told me

  63. M.... M....

    I'M IN LOVE😍

  64. T.... F....

    New Raury album needs

    1) Andre feature
    2) Kid Cudi feature
    3) B.o.B. feature
    4) This vibe

    T.... F....

  67. F.... D....

    OMGGGG <3

  68. Z.... M....

    shit man, i sat back,listened to this and real life almost cried, this is good shit. music like this is hard to find nowadays

  69. I.... N....

  70. c.... o....

    I'm sure I'm responsible for half of these views

  71. R.... s....

    Raury ain't never been about that

  72. J.... M....

    dope i hope this dude makes it

    J.... M....

    I don't think he wants that

    J.... M....

    He yeast to be a industry plant in 2015

  73. L.... K....

    shout out kid cudi

  74. T.... B....

    This might be the song.... Never mind no one cares... Who cares?
    This song is beautiful.

    T.... B....

    Tehr Behr dude stfu

  75. C.... M....

    Kid cudi vibezzz

  76. C.... M....

    Been asleep and now I'm woke by never disappointing raury

  77. N.... ....

    The part where he talks about being in his room every weekend and weekday with his guitar and a bunch of pills, that really struck home. I used to be locked away in my room with nothing but a cassette player that I would loop instrumentals off of and then write rhymes to. Those moments define us in ways we seldom understand.

  78. M.... P....

    He is amazing he speaks his heart ☯️💜✨ keep going free soul, you've got this

  79. O.... ....

    THIS will definitely be in my next video

  80. D.... N....

    Thats Hot!
