Wings (Explicit Album Version) [2001]

[Verse 1]

If I had wings I'd take off work

Fly around town 'till it got dark

Watch the kids playing basketball

Down in the park with their shoes on

And laugh at them - ha ha!

I'm out of here

Gravity free in the stratosphere

Don't need a blunt or a can a beer

To get high as the sky

And wave bye bye (bye bye)

I flap my wings in double time

Rappin' in double rhyme (double rhyme)

And look down on the world

feeling innocent and thinking

I never want to land again

Because an average day could ruin a man

Have me thinking about suicide again

And a whole lotta crazy other things

Like if I had wings

[Hook]

If I had wings I would fly away, fly away

if I had wings I would laugh all day, laugh all day

If I had wings I would fly away, fly away

If I had wings I would laugh all day

[Verse 2]

If I had wings I wouldn't fall in love

I'd flutter around it like a butterfly does

Pollenate my heart with flower buds

In the summer time

You know I want to rub

Noses with the mostest

Beautiful girl in the world

Fly to the sea and get a pearl

To give to her

I'd be happy if her name were jennifer

Or stephanie

As long as she could fly away with me

And have a picnic in a maple tree

Look - I can see my house from here

My mind is crystal clear

Would you like some more ambrosia dear?

Listen, you can hear the crickets sing

I'd have a girl if I had wings

[Hook]

If I had wings I wouldn't be so lazy

I'd give rides to kids and old ladies

When they need help accross the street

I'd be there to sweep them off their feet

I'd be a model citizen

All the kids around the way would say

I want to be like Time when I grow up

Forget about Jordan, he can only jump

I want to fly, I want to flow

I want wings, don't you know?

Yeah, kids, I know all about it

I'm gunna get my wings one day

Don't you doubt it

I don't want a car or diamond rings

I'd be a hero if I had wings

[Hook]

If I had wings my luck would change

I could live above the clouds where it never rains

Where I can't get hit by a bus or a train

Or bird [bad word] 
Like I always do

There'd be no crowds at shopping malls

No barking dogs

No telephone poles

And I'd be free

With nobody around to ostracize me

I could fly all day above the planet earth

Come home late and my feet would never hurt

I'd fill my pockets up with dirt

Just to prove that it isn't a dream

I'd be in heaven if I had wings
