[Verse:]
Once upon a time, not long ago
Before rap ruled the world and people sold blow
There was a little boy, from the dust he came
He grew up on the west side, Thi’sl was his name
Dealt a hard hand but he still played his cards
Life got rough but he still fought hard
Had a lotta ‘caine and he thought he couldn’t cake it
Had a lotta days that he thought he wouldn’t make it
But deep inside, he always felt alive
No matter how it looked, he knew he could survive
He never had wings, but he knew that he could fly
While everything died, who knew he would come alive?
[Chorus:]
I know I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(I wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(I wish upon a star)
I know I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Beyond the stars)
(Beyond the stars)
(Beyond the stars)
(Beyond the stars)
(Beyond the stars)
[Verse 2:]
When everybody around him and everything around him
Tryna tell him what he could be
Little Thiz got stronger, his vision got clearer
And he don’t see what they see
Now when he lookin’ in the mirror, you can see the King
He don’t see the hustler or the son of a fiend
Now he knows where he from don’t determines what he be
He’s free from that mindset and now he free to dream
‘Cause deep inside, he always felt alive
No matter how it looked, he knew he could survive
He never had wings, but he knew that he could fly
While everything died, who knew he would come alive?
[Chorus:]
I know I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(I wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(I wish upon a star)
I know I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
I know!
[Verse 3:]
This for all the little boys and all the little girls
No matter where you at, all around the world
Don’t let where you from determine who you are
Head to sky, baby you beyond the stars
You’ll never know if you never try
No matter how it looks, you can still survive
With them broke wings, you can still fly
While everything dyin’, baby you can come alive
[Chorus:]
I know I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(I wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Wish upon a star)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Beyond the stars)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Beyond the stars)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Beyond the stars)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Beyond the stars)
I know one day I’m gon’ fly, I know one day I’m gon’ fly
(Beyond the stars)
