This song is about non-conformism. It’s based on how society can lock you up in its invisible prison where you are just forced to go with the flow and conform like the rest.
We were meant to stand out and I would love to pave that way of individuality and break those doors and boundaries that people...
Free Us- Nyota
Chorus:
-Taking the bars for the team, yes I unlock
Running the race, jump the gates till your shackles pop
No, they don't really see us, but you know that's just how it goes
Hesitation to free us, you know that I'm breaking the doors
(X2)
Verse 1:
-Are we gonna start putting a line through this ish?
Clever fellas but don't think and get tied in their streets
-Conform to society, it's genius
But stepping outta line makes them really see us
We don't follow, we guide so they take us serious
And even without your questions, we're Wikipedia-
-the media and so called services that they feeding us
A sugar rush of poisonous bounds will soon tire us
And fire 'cause who wouldn't be intimidated by our anti-viruses
-the school thing is more about passing instead of finding your passion
Reactions to factions ain't natural, I'm taking action and redefining attraction
Go ahead and use that as your Instagram caption, your whole life's fiction
-most people live a damn contradiction
Praying up to the sky with addiction
When I look into your eyes, yes it's depictions of brainwashed victims wishin-
They had not listened
Wishin-
They had not listened
Wishin-
Yes I am pushing systems
Yes I am pushing systems
(Chorus again)
-Taking the bars for the team, yes I unlock
Running the race, jump the gates till your shackles pop
No, they don't really see us, but you know that's just how it goes
Hesitation to free us, you know that I'm breaking the doors
Transition:
You know I'm breaking the doors (x 7)
Verse 2:
-I don't have much more to say cause I said it
Yes I have many to slay, now they trippin
I swear this evolution is great, yeah I witnessed
But lemme bring you back to sense in case you missed it
-When did it ever change from misfits on hit lists to doing business with who they fit in with
I won't mention it
The distance I've measured
You would go for your very own treasure
But what I'm hearing at my leisure most definitely ain't causing me pleasure (ain't causing me pleasure!)
-No matter how much you put in, what you get out is
A bunch of hypocrites saying you ain't allowed in-
Without selling yourself
Risk your spiritual health
-First thing in my life ain't making bucks
Although it changes my situation, I don't want it much
'Cause I see what it does to the stars above
Burning out their passion to a crust and now they gotta do it "just because"
-And that's a diss to me
That I'm out here grinding hard at 16
They look at me thinking and they ain't believe me
Fellas greedy
But they be the ones to feed me
-This time I go a little extra
'Cause I know that they looking for adventure
And I be the one to do it
You won't ever dilute my fluid
