[Intro]
Dance machine, in the brown
Juicy lips, watching glow
In the sauce, ahh!
[Verse]
I cried with Mooch at Papi's wake, snuck an extra slice of cake
When the pigs came 'round to make they case
I looked 'em dead up in they face
I never heard of none of that, soon's I win, let's run it back
I run on feelings, fuck your facts, deception is the truest act
With poise, I twirl the bluest lack, Dougie hold the ooh-est sacks
I danced a move to play the back
I dipped, she asked him, "Who was that?"
I ain't showed off, I just showed up, greet my peoples, fill they cup
Transmit heat on pillows plush, I mean it though, I lean and flow
I gleam and glow, I'm clean and oh, you bet ya that I get it bro
Inside the glow just not for show, three beams, purples, indigo
Catchy? Yes, but trendy? No, never fiend or scheming though
That's beneath Barbara Jean's offspring
With Po, I never seem to know
(Gunbeats comprise arsenal) Up or don't toss it all
(Up or don't toss it all) Up or don't toss it all
(Up or don't toss it all) Yeah, up or don't toss it at all
Philosophy is Kutian, both musically and bitch-wise too
I lost the best beat that I had, now my heart just smash and dash
Warrant's out, I catch a cab, it's boring out, I'm to the lab
These robots grant us internets, program racist sequences
Don't compare my beat with his
He ain't up off these streets he's slid
[Chorus]
I'm free, shit, you know I'm free
Nigga, I'm free, yeah, you know I'm free
(Shit, I'm free) To be enslaved to all these things I can't escape
Trapped inside imaginations tickling at my face
You know I'm free, bitch, you know I'm free
Baby girl, I'm free, yeah you know I'm free
Look here, I'm free, yeah
Free to chain my will onto the wings of my instinct
And wander round this box I'm inextricably linked
You know I'm, free, I'm free
I'm free, shit, you know I'm free, that's right, I'm free
To make pursuit to catch the stuff that holds me down
To capture my desires fashion out of this a crown
You know I'm free, shit, you know I'm free
Pig, you know I'm free, mind telling these niggas I'm free?
I never leave, I'm super free to fill my smiles up
With these tears that I forgot
And haunt myself besides these pretty ghosts that float my heart
You know I'm free
[Outro]
(Thou shalt) Bask in the light of my phone screen glow
Thumbs realize everyone I know
Freedom's cold newest episode
Yeah one more smile and we're undertow
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
(Gospels) Put minds in for a fresher world
Old school hood nigga, press and curl
Eyes like moons when I kiss my girl
Get lucked out, wish I was in Africa
Konjo, Konjo, Konjo, Konjo, Konjo
