Sage Francis - Broken Wings Lyrics
She's a fairy with broken wings
I used to watch her perform
And if she hears me I hope she sings songs
That had me going right back
Couldn't find anyone in town to talk
Should be confined to the ground we walk
She glides but just seems like she floats
And these folks decide to crush her wings until there permanently broke
She rides gusts of wind just by the way she spoke
She crys but loves to sing songs of freedom and hope
On the East side hustling discussing things that we quote
In shallow conversation as if we have deep throats
We chokin' on confusion
Now show up as a heat stroke of we need coats
I see notes being passed
I ask to see what these creeps wrote
Define silly kids and flying privelages revoke
Ski slopes have been blocked off they can't transit
Had weights tied to her ankles she most definitely can't skip
Down, shes held down by the transripts my hands grip
Tried to tie her wings back on before the ones again clip
Panic stricken, shell remain stuck
On a Titanic sinken, she's tryin' to stay up
Change her plan thinken its ok
See this is strange but
Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in a way that kept them chained up
I'd like to see
Her take flight into the stars
Instead of letting her fly free they keep her in jars
Instead of letting fly free they keep 'em in jars
I put my hand to the glass so hard
It might break the prison bars
It isn't hard to see why they keep her captive
She's naturally attractive
Speaks with adlibs, she's uncommonly talented
Ain't enough adjectives to do her dispotion justice
Kids are wishin' for just a kiss and it's a mission to touch her lipstick
Can't trust her with
Freedom of movement that's a chance to loose her quick
If she ups and splits
We might as well call that discussion quits
If we's to keep her down the government's underlinks
Enslave people in this town especially if there cultures rich
Exploiting talents making it do a bunch of tricks
With the rest of the wingless imports
Repeatedly told you ain't a fairy, just a bitch
Just a bitch, with a butt that's thick
So rub your tits, and thrust your hips
And suck my dick, and run your shit, and run your shit, and run your shit
She's a fairy with broken wings
I used to go watch her perform
And if she hears me I hope she sings songs
That had me going right back
Couldn't find anyone in town to talk
Bout how no one like that
Should be confined to the ground
When I was down in New York she'd send me letters
And I read her passages about how I left it to the savages
No matter how sad it is I didn't cry
'Cause it was only a matter of time
Before they figured me out and tried to strip my pride
I knew the scoop
Wish you could of seen the blueprints in my eye
When I flew the coop
Utilizing overground railroads in the sky
It was live or die let me let you in on the secret of mine
Me and you are different girl
We don't even need wings to fly
We dont need wings to fly
Me and you, we don't need wings to fly
Keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Just keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Just keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Just keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Just keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Keep on singing give it a try, give it a try
Just keep on singing give it a try, give it a try

Heyooo, Yusef Lateef was sampled for this one, I think. Judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAxdTSc_fts
i used to love this track maybe circa 2001
It came out in 2006..
The album came out in 2002.
@Kerry Hanley It was released in 2001 in Europe and then 2002 in the US.
Sage Francis what was the thought at releasing it a year early to Europe?
So nostalgic, one summer i stayed over my cousins in L.A. and he had this Zune with so much music that I remembered somehow and took back with me, that Zune introduced me to so much underground hip hop
Atmosphere, living legends, hieroglyphics etc..
Good times being a kid
Sage, Atmosphere and P. O. S. got me thru some rough times. Amazing music and great medication for the mind
Hieroglyphics was the first real underground hip hop I was ever introduced into. Deltron 3030 is still one of my favorite albums ever.
What if I told you I was Her
You ain't shit man, your story's a joke.
You should package it with a last smoke,
And six feet of rope.
I love this..means more than i can even say..
Used to love this song when I was 18, never thought it'd have a different meaning at the age of 32
Im 32 now
😔 so many memories
damn dudr this song is deep as shit sage francis is so fucking great
no comments!? this is one of his best songs. Sage is SOOO DOPE!
