A Bigger Picture Called Free |
Living in a glass bubble, the fast hustle |
The masked struggle that I’m in, the same one that you in |
I knew inside when I was outside on the south side |
Had to take it a step further the way that Ralph tried |
Oh that’s my stepfather |
He stressed harder to make that bed and lock them doors |
For the perfect picture, I forgot to pose |
Used to rock Jabos and go out with bros |
Tryna get lots of hoes till I got exposed |
To a bigger picture called free, in the picture, it was me |
Al-Hajj Malik Shabazz, Muhammad, and Noble Drew Ali |
A side of Erykah Badu and Andre 3000 |
Telling me what I can’t be |
But you can’t paint me |
Black is the color of my true love spirit and I do love lyrics |
And I used to love Harold’s Chicken and I dance pretty good |
And I feel at home in the hood and I get lit in the club |
Still I love |
If you look in my eyes, you’ll see love deep inside |
When I look in the sky, I see freedom |
If you look in my eyes, you’ll see love deep inside |
When I look in the sky, I see freedom |
If you hear this rhyme, it’s coming from division 9 |
The toughest in Cook County |
They count me out cause I did a crime |
They say it’s violent time in human beings |
But being they ain’t seeing me as human |
In this big business called prison, I’m the one that’s consuming |
Illuminati illuminate me, fume and hate me |
Mutilate me from my family, society, and loved ones |
I wasn’t raised to love guns, well maybe toy ones |
My pops, y’all built and destroyed him |
With prescriptions of poverty, dope, and unemployment |
When will we see enjoyment? |
I smile when my little boy get to visit for about 30 minutes |
But we ain’t never spent Christmas together, tryna get it together |
What I’ma do when I get out? |
I don’t know what it is to live out |
Just reminiscing of the big house, I’m the one justice chose to spit out |
My life story is written in a prison sentence |
Wonder if this cell got room for forgiveness? |
Still I love |
If you look in my eyes, you’ll see love deep inside |
When I look in the sky, I see freedom |
If you look in my eyes, you’ll see love deep inside |
When I look in the sky, I see freedom |
It’s gonna be you and me |
When you’re feeling free make you feel alive |
What you got inside make you go outside |
The change in I, it’s the realest high |
It’s the realest high |
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah |
It’s gonna be you and me |
When you’re feeling free make you feel alive |
What you got inside make you go outside |
The change in I, it’s the realest high |
It’s the realest high |
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah |
It’s gonna be you and me |
When you’re feeling free, make you feel alive |
What you got inside make you go outside |
The change in I, it’s the realest high |
It’s the realest high |
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah |
It’s gonna be you and me |
When you’re feeling free, make you feel alive |
What you got inside make you go outside |
The change in I, it’s the realest high |
It’s the realest high |
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah |
