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 cause problems
Then they can walk on by

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

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 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

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

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 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

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 better keep on walking, I
Don't wanna hear your talking, boy
You better keep on walking, I
Don't wanna hear your talking, boy

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 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

Mama told me not to waste my life

Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you cause

No matter what you say, it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
