You don't have to be so scared to share what's inside 'Cause you're daddy's little superstar And you're mama's little butterfly, fly highA strange strange litany of verses and reverses Adlibs and rehearses, clouds burst and words cursed An argument breaks outIt's one we've all heard before, it's boring Had us all snoring from the first line One after another chimed in perfect time Tired rehashes of petty cashes and mismatchesYou shoulda coulda's and why didn't you do this Crippling snippets aimed at the heart to inflame and impart blame Framed like Mumia, verbal diarrhea Spasms creating chasms between the souls of two or two billionNations torn apart, station to station damnation With much deliberation and very little consideration To the return on the damage from the altercation Collateral condemnationThen denyin' like colorization of an old black and white Create a revision of the recent last night The fight that started with two words, I'm rightYou don't have to be so scared to share what's inside 'Cause you're daddy's little superstar And you're mama's little butterfly, fly highBut of course the fight ends with no resolution Merely a vow for retribution, substitution Execution, electrocution, ruthless, toothless and truthless Mumbling through page after page of excusesAbuses of the gift of the Gab, Gabriel the trumpeter Bestowed upon us a voice with a choice And a tongue kept moist by years of salivating For oysters, pearls and aphrodisiacsLocked in an ugly shell, always too chewy and gooey So they get swallowed whole But a tongue is so much more than a vehicle for greed With a disciple I feedA tongue is for washing fur or for licking wounds Or welcoming newcomers into a room Or cleansing those fresh from the womb Without a tongue there would be no croonsSwoons, June's under the moon No bees pollinating no flowers in bloom No recitation of words at the foot of a tomb Or wills read aloud of the family heirloomsYou probably couldn't even blow up a balloon And that would be a shame because exhales the name of the game Exhale from the heart, not from the lungs Speak from the heart, not from the tongueYou don't have to be so scared to share what's inside 'Cause you're daddy's little superstar And you're mama's little butterfly, fly highListening is understanding and finding compassion Love is the action of soul satisfaction A tongue can make wishes and also fine kisses Taste a sweet cake and also cast dissesBut nothing compares to the voice from within Without it we might just be mannequins Up to no darn good shenanigans Learn to be skillful movers of the stonesThat block the heart and turn humans to clones Learn to forgive, set free the bones Touch with your flesh, take off the rubber gloves Love like your life depends on it because it doesYou don't have to be so scared to share what's inside 'Cause you're daddy's little superstar And you're mama's little butterfly, fly highYou don't have to be so scared to share what's inside 'Cause you're daddy's little superstar And you're mama's little butterfly, fly high, flying high, flying high
