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 |
