|
People feelin' that. Oh man. One two one two. I smell somethin' cookin' |
|
Yeah yeah yeah. Okay, give us freedom. That's for real for real |
|
Turn it up a little more G. That means turn it up fool |
|
Yeah, this is it. Yeah yeah. 9th |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I'm free |
|
To change the world to change the times |
|
I'm free |
|
To change my life to change my mind |
|
I'm free |
|
To have hope to have new ideas |
|
I'm free to live my life without the pressure of my peers |
|
I'm free |
|
To make a choice to take a chance |
|
I'm free |
|
To take my voice and make a stance |
|
I'm free |
|
And now I know why the caged bird sings |
|
I'm free to be me so let me do my thing |
|
I'm free |
|
[Verse One] |
|
Like a fresh out of county no bond |
|
Bout to get some Fat Burger and go see my moms |
|
Like the health care need to be |
|
The fact that it ain't is just obscene to me |
|
Free is a state of mind a state to live |
|
Can't be selfish, people hate to give |
|
Love, worth more than gold |
|
But it's free and it's got to be part of soul |
|
Told, I was free 1863 |
|
That's until I got clipped by the LAPD |
|
Free to be oppressed for 400 years |
|
Free to leave this country free to stay right here |
|
To make a difference |
|
Free to make change |
|
Free to be normal while I'm free to be strange |
|
From every mountain top where they let freedom rang |
|
There was freedom in the songs that my ancestors sang |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Verse Two] |
|
Like I'm tax exempt |
|
Free to knock out gangstas and smack some pimps |
|
Cause I'm free to be a whole lot more than that |
|
Free to see the whole world and be more than black |
|
Free to be a plain ole human being |
|
I'm free to write songs about the wrongs I seen |
|
I'm free to make a buck at anyone's expense |
|
Do what it takes to make my rent |
|
But no act will ever be free of consequence |
|
It don't cost a dime to use your common sense |
|
It's Free like Will when I'm free to kill |
|
Anybody that try to knock... |
|
Let me chill |
|
I'm free from anger, I'm free from it |
|
When they grab a hold of me |
|
It's free I break |
|
I'm free to be a failure |
|
Free to be great |
|
And I'm free to be the one who decides my fate |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Verse Three] |
|
Like my style was in '93 |
|
Now there's a whole bunch of dudes tryin' to rhyme like me |
|
Work hard young man |
|
Homie grind like me |
|
And you can be whatever you wanna be |
|
Like the blood, like the love of Jesus |
|
Like the love that the Koran teaches |
|
Like space and the outer reaches |
|
Can't Arrest my Development I'm free like Speech is |
|
Like a genie |
|
Fresh out the bottle |
|
When these MCs is free not to be role models |
|
And me |
|
Well, I'm free to be one |
|
Free to fix a problem where ever I see one |
|
The government came to my hood with free guns |
|
Got us all scared, now I'm thinkin' I need one |
|
But I'm free from fear |
|
And if you already free then let me hear you say "YEAH!" |
