[Intro]
Oh... Freedom
Ohhh... Freedom
Ohhh...
[Malcolm X Excerpt]
[Verse 1]
We need civility…
Accountability
Cuz all the misery
Is killing me
The blood is spilling
We don’t need to be so fucking crazy
Why does it phase me…
The system is so fucking shady
Don’t try to play me…
Free
I’m never gonna put a boundary upon my artistry
I’m never gonna limit all my dreams that’d be a tragedy
I’m never gonna fake what I can say so don’t get mad at me
I’m never gonna take it for granted that I got mad degrees
Apologies for all the savagery
A part of me has a philosophy
To maximize my possibilities
And my abilities are God given
It was all written
Now you hear me in your iPhone spittin
Hide all women and children it gonna be a massacre
Freedom isn’t free they’re gonna find a way to tax ya
Even if you’re driving in a ’92 Maxima
They’re gonna pull you over say it’s stolen, and harrass ya
Free. Is what we’re fighting to be
Whether you knew it all along
Or you’re inspired by me
Free. It’s so enlightening see
The power’s in a moment
Hope you’ll fight along side of me
In world so numb, no more living for the crumbs
Every person on the planet, as one… scream FREEDOM!
[Verse 2]
I dumb it down for the other clowns around town
Thinking they hold it down, but they really hold me down
Crabs in a bucket, what the fuck is up?
When there’s no luck, stuck in a situation like a truck
In a ditch, it’s time to make a switch
Get rich, pitch a fit
There’s no equality which is a bunch of bullshit
Don’t quit. Keep going. Move ahead
There’s a reason for every season as long as you ain’t dead
See what I said, there is power in my lyrics
I be reaching through your spirit to devour all my critics
I be teaching and you feel it, like a shower when you hear it
I be seeking for the truth and never cower when I’m near it
Too smart to be dumb
You can look me in my eyes
I got the heart to be the one
Started at 21
And no I’m never looking back
My vision’s brighter than the sun
And even if I have a son, or a daughter
Being a father to my kids is number one
It’s Mr. T-Y-S-O-N. I got a happy wife, so happy life
We’re free until the end
