Lyrics

[Intro]

Mama told me not to waste my life

She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And if they give you shh, then they can walk on by"

[Verse 1]

My feet, feet can't touch the ground

And I can't hear a sound

But you just keep on running up your mouth, yeah

Walk, walk on over there

'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah

[PreChorus]

Your words don't mean a thing

I'm not listening

Keep talking, all I know is

[Chorus]

Mama told me not to waste my life

She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And they can't detain you

'Cause wings are made to fly"

And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say, it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly

[Verse 2]

I'm firing up on that runway

I know we're gonna get there someday

But we don't need no "ready, steady, go!" no

Talk, talk turns into air

And I don't even care

Oh yeah

[PreChorus]

Your words don't mean a thing

I'm not listening

Keep talking, all I know is

[Chorus]

Mama told me not to waste my life

She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And they can't detain you

'Cause wings are made to fly"

And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say, it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly

[PreChorus]

I don't need no one saying

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

I don't hear no one saying

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

You'd better keep on walking

I don't wanna hear your talking (Boy'd)

You'd better keep on walking

I don't wanna hear your talking (Boy'd)

[PreChorus]

Your words don't mean a thing

I'm not listening

They're just like water off my wings

[Chorus]

Mama told me not to waste my life

She said, "Spread your wings, my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And they can't detain you

'Cause wings are made to fly"

And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say, it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly

[Outro]

And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say, it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly
