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 |
