You are a pretty girl you're a pretty boy and you get all the attention that you want
I'm a little different and the attention I get is not any man would want
Did God make us this way, you appealing and me appalling
Somehow we all pray but you get a head start and I am left behind startled
I am a butterfly with no wings
I'm a butterfly with no wings
I'm a butterfly with no wings
Oh I'm a butterfly with no wings
Hmmmmm hmmmm Hmmm hmmmmm
I'm a butterfly, I'm a butterfly, I'm a butterfly with no wings
Verse
Smart is what they call you Cuz you figure things out quicker than I ever can
I put my brains to the limit but somehow I'm restricted, Yes I'm restricted by birth
Did God make us this way, you appealing and me appalling?
Are we writing the same test that will take us to heaven or take us to hell, cuz
I am a butterfly with no wings
I'm a butterfly with no wings
I'm a butterfly with no wings
Oh I'm a butterfly with no wings
Hmmmmm hmmmm Hmmm hmmmmm
I'm a butterfly, I'm a butterfly, I'm a butterfly with no wings
If you don't have a paper voice
You don't have a voice at all
The rich talk and we just walk
We don't seem to have a choice
If you don't have a paper voice
You don't have a voice at all
The rich talk and we just walk
We don't seem to have a choice
I am a butterfly with no wings
I'm a butterfly with no wings
I'm a butterfly with no wings
Oh I'm a butterfly with no wings
Hmmmmm hmmmm Hmmm hmmmmm
I'm a butterfly, I'm a butterfly, I'm a butterfly with no wings
I'm a butterfly with no wings but I live anyway
We all not made to fly but we have roles to play
From the soil we come and to the soil we go
We might not be pretty but we need to be bold
Iʼm a butterfly with no wings but I'm pretty in my own way Rich or poor we are all dirt in the sand,
Monkey no fine but in mama like am
I'm a butterfly with no wings
