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 sh... then they can walk on by 

My feet can’t touch the ground 
And I can’t hear a sound, 
But you just keep on, [bad word] up your mouth, yeah 
Walk, walk on over there 
Cos I’m too fly to care, oh 
Your words don’t mean a thing, I’m not listening, 
Keep talking all I know is… 

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 cos 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 

I'm firing up on [bad word] 
I know we're gonna get there someday 
But we don't need no ready steady go 
Talk, talk turns into air and I don’t even care 

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 cos 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 

I don’t need no one saying hey, hey, hey 
I don’t hear no one saying hey,hey, hey 
You’d better keep on walking, 
I don’t wanna hear your talking boy’d 
Your words don’t mean a thing, I’m not listening, 
They’re just like water off my wings 

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 cos 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
