Dollars in the Sea

[Intro]
But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly
Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech
Somewhere I read of the freedom of press
Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest far-right

[Chorus]
(But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly)
I don't know what they want from me, I am just trying to be
(Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech)
I don’t know what they want from me, I am just trying to be
Free, free, free, free, free
Free, free, like a dollar in the sea
(Somewhere I read of the freedom of press)
I don't know what they want from me, I am just trying to be
(Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest far-right)
I don't know what they want from me, I’m just trying to be-

[Verse 1]
Free, free, free, free, free
Free, free, unlike the lottery
Day-to-day in the parade, or these Tampa streets
I be free, free like a dollar in the sea
Riding in the back of the whip, with David and Chris
And you know that it's lit
Skipping school, period 6 is when it hits
I'm not a beast, I'm a dog on a leash
Can't take a piss without saying please
Miss the beat, can't be where I want to be
In the AP, yeah you know they caught me
Like a baton on me, so I take no caution
A rebel since the first time I saw "Don't open this"
I'm like "Yeah, you ain’t my fucking mom"
That’s why we always run
Drugs and loneliness creeps like the coldest wind
It's chills down the pale spine, on the roads like the time
Then it flies by, like some kites in the sky
Nighttime, need life, so I spark, and take flight
The skies, I lit it, and it’s ripping family ties sometimes
We tripping and dripping, 'cause of differences and while I lit
Tore them skies, it's chemicals inside of them
Close his eyes, and see a sea of gin
But through beer he caved in, and sleep men chained him
Tenth bin, running away's but worse, this what my page meant
Amen, trap saved him
With no gills, he’s made ill
Bird gets caged in, it's a drought and
He went south like hearts, survive
He wants to fly, but then he dies
Right before, he shouts, he shouts:

[Chorus]
I don't know what they want from me, I am just trying to be
I don't know what they want from me, I'm just trying to be
Free, free, free, free, free
Free, free, like a dollar in the sea
I don't know what they want from me, I'm just trying to be
Free, free, free, free, free
Free, free, like a dollar in the sea
I don't know what they want from me, I'm just trying to be

[Verse 2]
Free, free, free, free, free
Free, free, free, free, free
We're just dollars in the sea, baby
Do you wanna play the lottery, maybe?
I just wanna fly momma, fly momma
I just wanna fly momma, you a fly momma
I just wanna fly nah that's- fly nah
I don't want it all, nah, you finna die, nah
You finna die, bitch
Freedom comes, but it goes like some hoes
Freedom comes, but it goes like those clothes
Freedom comes, but it goes like your soul
Oh no no no no no no no
I feel like I'm still a baby in a crib
When it comes to my imagination
But we gon' have to flick this wrist to get these albums platinum
Bangin' dope to get my music past One Direction
I need no restrictions, fly in all directions, fuck in all positions
I'm free as a bluejay, I'm free as a hawk
I'm free as a god, I'm free as Allah
But only in my mind, in this world we are pawns, and I play my role fine
But there's gotta be more to life, than just you and I
Run, girl, run, girl, run, lady, run, lady
Find a man, make a son, raise him well to like me
Ddisease to society, so free
Disease to society
(I just wanna do God's will)

[Verse 3]
My uncle say I molest him, no prosperity
He told the kids to never be like me
Get a job and be all you can be, another dollar in the sea, I see
1, 2, 3, way too many
Let me tell you a story
Bullets in his temple, ironic 'cause the hunter committing sins
The hunter need a prey, so why the hunter kill a plate?
Bad men get stinged, working man laid magical
Put on the side like a vegetable
Hunter say work your ass at that cage until you mental, 9-to-5
He could've been Patrick Ewing on the rise, but now he got a suit and a tie
He's like me, and I don't write to pass time, I write to set my mind free from doin' time
My verses free throws to the sky, but I got nothing to hide
Spiderman without a suit, look me in my eye
Sittin' right in the coupe, doin' 95 on 995
While gettin' fried, I'm hot, dinner time
Keep the dream alive, despite the plight of my mind
It's a kite, I'm takin' flight, to see the light
I rip the mic, to spit what's right, it hurts inside
Massage the mind, we fight with shrines, with bodies behind
Fuck your wine 'cause it ain't fine, dick's the crime, by design

[Outro]
Bein' free in America, freedom is a lie
Bein' free in America, freedom is a lie
Bein' free in America, freedom is a lie
Bein' free is a lie, freedom is a lie
Real freedom's in our minds, real freedom's when you die
Real freedom's when you let the beat ride, let it ride
Let that shit ride, motherfucker
