Let Freedom Reign |
| Oh American citizen, come collect your freedom |
| No matter what your living in |
| No more giving in |
| Oh American citizen, come collect your freedom |
| No matter what you’re living in |
| It’s time to win |
| Keep us in the four walls of our childrens will be quiet |
| Most of us aint even democratic or Republic |
| Can, and by coincidence we love the elected until the detected of being human |
| American falls, minorities lose war |
| But if we unite we would have won the war |
| On poverty |
| On drugs |
| On medicated |
| On love |
| Freedom isn’t given it is taken |
| Freedom isn’t free it’s earned |
| Not, no, it’s learned |
| Been hung and burned, |
| Yet rest in peace, resurrected plea |
| This aint black or white, it’s grey |
| This is not about my face |
| Most of us don’t know what to say |
| Right from wrong, I’m free from slaves |
| Let freedom reign |
| Do you wanna be free or do you wanna be |
| I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be |
| Free, |
| Let freedom Reign |
| America the beautiful |
| Suspect as usual |
| Liberty and death give me freedom on my funeral |
| I walk across the planet with the steps of a giant |
| My rhymes bridge the gap between religion and science |
| Cause my evidence is spiritual |
| I know my sheer presence is a miracle |
| I wasn’t supposed to be here to share with you |
| But here I am, standing with my chest out |
| I take my place in history I never get left out |
| You stressed out and scared so it’s causing you to act hard |
| Freedom aint free, gotta put it on my black card |
| My passport claim I’m an American citizen |
| The constitution said I’m three fifths |
| I’m not a semi and gorrilla |
| Make my songs stronger than the horn of Gideon |
| Truth is the? |
| gave the native people syphillis |
| Consider this: Christopher Columbus ain’t know where he was goin' |
| So lets stop calling our Native brothers Indians |
| We were carried here in shackles from the homelands |
| ? |
| chop, chain locked, brain washed, programmed |
| Time’s change, freedom reigns, I’m a grown man |
| Holding the future in the palms of my own hands |
| In this World, the coonery and tomfoolery |
| All I’m trying to do is stay true to my community |
| The daily news aint the only thing that’s schooling me |
| Watching these haters operating with impunity |
| This journey dollar signs, black and white collar crimes |
| Running out of time, out of sight, out of mind |
| It gets realer and it’s real in Palestine |
| Troubles of the World start to seem intertwined |
| War criminals, conflict minerals, pillagers are coming home |
| And five star generals telling lies in press conferences and interviews |
| I’m trying to take back the power cause it’s been abused |
| I’m just black in America |
| I’m not afro american |
| Just a passive american |
| Making belief I’m better than |
| What we’ve been, what we’ve been |
| I said |
| I’m just black in America |
| I’m not afro american |
| Just a passive american |
| Making belief I’m better than |
| What we’ve been, what we’ve been |
