Verse 1 (D-Cipher):
When will I be free from the panic
Free the Clonopin, free from the Xanax
I know the game
Tatted that Koiryu, to remind me of afflictions that I overcame
We're all dealing with shit
You in a nightmare? Then just reach out, man, I'm right here
When everything's not really ok
You gotta really take it day by day, you gon' make it
I hear guys like, “When will I be free from my wife?”
I'm like “Man, you ain't doing it right”
When will I be free from these facepalm moments
If I don't have to talk politics, then that's a bonus
So I'm asking when y'all will you be free
I'm looking forward to days where calm's a close affiliate
Kid, you're putting me on, how the fuck are you free
While you're tryna conform more than a little bit?
Verse 2 (Cee):
I’m tryina be free from these fuckwits, free from the dumb shit
Free from conservative mind states, disgusting
I’m working every second ’til we free from the threat
’Til we bleed through the sweat, and we can breathe without struggling
’Til we free from connects, that’s a plug ting
’Til we chillin’ in the buildings that we bussed in
Already free from broke thoughts, no such thing
Trust me, we making y’all believers, no Justin
I’m sayin’, these apps got me but it’s temporary
I’m letting off these real tweets like a pet canary
I ain’t addicted, it’s discretionary
The family and money coming first, the other shit is secondary
It’s all a blessing, really
‘Coz 2020 been a year, but all the stillness and reflection hella necessary
Gimme time, this shit is legendary
Every verse a fucking lectionary, rappers, get your pencils ready, let’s get it
Verse 3 (Notion):
How can we be, freer as a people, eradicate the evil
We rally as the chiefs do, retaliate with peaceful
I’m cavi’ with the seafood, but y’all ain’t hearin’
The truth is really out there my dude, y’all still fearin’
Breaking free from these inner chains, every day you feel insane
Rain down the windowpane, stains on these fricken J’s
Rage comin’ in in waves, every day I’m drinkin’ haze
I’m frustrated by this bullshit, and I’m still amazed
Need to be free of these medias, anxiety feeding us
Society, divide with lies they steaming up
Came to change the times, and we not switching clocks
We here to open minds, climb out of the idiot box
Let’s get free from these handcuffs, the fake friends
The fake Benz, let’s make trends to love each other
No better time to level up your mind
That’s why I feel freer and freer when we stuck inside, right
