Recorded at N4N Milwaukee HFCA HS.

Written by Derrick Holt, Shyann, Lyrique, Jabari, Chris, Rakeeyla.
Produced by DJ Qwan and Derrick Holt.

We had a nice after school beat from their schoolmate DJ Qwan. And Rakeeyla said in class jokingly, "Life is hard so we put it in a bar(measure)". It became a no brainer for me to talk about what's difficult or hard for us in life. Shyann wanted to be on the song, but she does not write song lyrics. I asked her to write a few things down that she would like to be in the verse, and i wrote a short piece for her that actually became the hook for the song. She was happy; everyone was happy, and we are all proud of the song! One of the things she wrote was Maya Angelou's book title, "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings". Thus, the title, "Caged Bird"!

Caged Bird - Shyann, Lanita, Lyrique, Jabari, Chris, Rakeeyla, Qwan
