Angel, don't fly so close to me I'll pull you down eventually You don't want to lose those wings People like me break beautiful things Angel, don't fly so close to me I'm what you want, not what you need You don't want to lose those wings People like me break beautiful things I give it all up to ease your pain, yeah, I would do that all day I stepped back from the game to keep you out of harm's way Risk it all for the game but it take more than one person Two people one till I feel the same when you hurting I was still in middle school when Givens had fled the whip Bodies were dropping before we ever knew 'bout the truck We gon' be family no matter what way this go, brother From the ugly corner where everybody betray each other I let you hang in the jets I let you bang with my set Put you before my own flesh Like why'd I ever do that? Me and the streets got soul ties The devil on my shoulder, he whisper but I told him Angel, don't fly so close to me I'll pull you down eventually You don't want to lose those wings People like me break beautiful things Angel, don't fly so close to me I'm what you want, not what you need You don't want to lose those wings People like me break beautiful things Generation curses of disloyalty We breaking that Lost my dog, got him back Took him in, we shakin' back Struggle never broke us It just made us who we is Losses taught a lot of lessons Made the wins feel like blessings Family all that you got at the end Hope you get the message I ain't trying to make it without you But if I got to then I got you This ain't about me, it's about the whole cake We can take a slice on a different day, just keep your plate God, family, hustle, goals Heart, mind, body, soul Watching out for street signs on a narrow road Heaven at the end Praying for the lost souls with my angels Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know? I don't wanna let you down No, I'll never be perfect Never want to see you hurting You should go You should go Get away fast A hundred on the dash tonight Wish it didn't have to be this way My angel, don't fly so close to me I pull you down eventually You don't want to lose those wings People like me break beautiful things Angel, don't fly so close to me I'm what you want, not what you need You don't want to lose those wings People like me break beautiful things
