free my mind

I feel I have a lot to say
That when the time comes, I’ll lead the way
But the cloud in my brain is looking real grey
Like it’ll start to rain

I can feel the words building up in my mouth
But when the times come, they don’t come quite out
So I sit in my car and drive all through the town
Going round and round

I work so hard to free my mind
I work so hard to free my mind
Tried the door, but no one’s home
I hate my words, and I lost my prose
Tried so hard to free my mind
My mind

I know the starting line, but never reach the end
Begin the race but can’t get 'round the bend
Nobody’s trying to hold me down
It’s only me whose hands are bound

There is no one to blame
Will I just be replaced
Is my purpose having useless conversations
I know I'd like to
What else is there to do

I work so hard to free my mind
I work so hard to free my mind
Tried the door, but no one’s home
I hate my words, and I lost my prose
Tried so hard to free my mind
My mind
