BeFREE

[Intro]
Freedom is a messy business
There are no people in the world that became free without struggle
People don’t just set you free
They don’t just give you the advantage of freedom
When they have enjoyed the advantage of your entrapment

[Verse 1]
How do you know when the time’s up?
Cus it hurts to stay too long
And it hurts to go too soon
Sometimes it looks like a home
But it feels like a tomb
You might have to fly the coop confused

[Chorus]
I don’t really wanna but something’s telling me I gotta go
I don’t rеally wanna but something’s telling me I gotta
I don’t rеally wanna but something’s telling me I gotta go
I don’t really wanna but something’s telling me I gotta

[Post-Chorus]
Be free

[Verse 2]
I done almost lost my hands, not unclenching them on old friends at borders
I done lost steps to sand, for not quickening in time to move forward
Got ejected from lands, that rose thorned my hands on every pick
Benefit of the doubt-ing, while my opps was scouting out my benefits
You know I stomp on the heads of haters, skate over alligators, I see you later
Stuck in the grass with snakes just’ll Norman Bates ya, I hope you get normal neighbors
Popped up and snatched my chains off, inaugural change, they scoff cus they know the game’s up
Know that they hope I stay stuck or froze in stasis, my growth is disadvantageous
For them

[Chorus]
I don’t really wanna but something’s telling me I gotta go (Time’s up)
I don’t really wanna but something’s telling me I gotta
I don’t really wanna but something’s telling me I gotta go (Time’s up)
I don’t really wanna but something’s telling me I gotta

[Post-Chorus]
Be free

[Bridge]
I can't stay and wait around here
I refuse to be bound
Got to get away from 'round here

[Outro]
“Oh yes, the police came to me
And-and uh, I-I-I was home on 5th avenue
And they told me, “We have to lock you up”
And I said “For what?!"
So they went downtown to Macon, there was a judge
And so they told the judge
"Your honor, this nigga here is gonna leave town and he ain’t gon’ never come back”
I said “They’re right your honor, when I leave I ain’t coming back here no mo’””
