Gonna Be Free |
Yeah I’m a believer, I won’t be beleaguered |
I give a damn, no Leave it to Beaver |
With the R-E-S-P-E-C-T like Aretha |
And if I don’t use my feet then I won’t have that either |
Yes we serve, we deserve some peace |
And we serve the least versed to reverse |
The deep hurt that’s featured |
Each turn of the sheet of a learned history |
Like Wall Street, the Trail of Tears and the War in the Philippines |
And I wash my hands clean like surgeons in emergencies |
Median on weed like conjoinment and Glucosamines |
Relap the joint and wound the knee |
Let’s Deco the Negro |
And be like Steve Bico, we’re not hearing a beat |
From the projects like and research |
We’re jumping in feet-first |
Reaction more than knee-jerk |
Don’t let his story recur |
Swipe like a Visa |
A fire doesn’t need a sinkhole |
Just the silence of the people |
As for me, I’m gonna be free |
I’m gonna be free from all of this history |
Yeah, me, I’m gonna be free, I’m gonna be free |
I rhyme post-post-ironic flows (homo) |
I came to fuck shut up, homos |
Stonewall, laugh at that, no no |
Don’t y’all assume that I’m straight |
Cause you don’t know |
I’m close to the edge like Bono |
Won’t fall victim to the Gordian Knot |
Trying to sort again rock mine |
For the win |
Plot lines are stretched like accordion |
To Resurrect, born again, in division |
Free from all the history |
Beef with salt and misery |
Just how it should be for y’all and is for me |
That’s the truth, blppppp as bald as |
Mr. Clean, spit it like Listerine |
'Till my lips are stinging hot, scalding, blistering |
I’m composting primitive thoughts |
And prayers what we want most |
lock the prison with God’s forgiveness |
It’s it a bunch of |
Holy ghost, high hopes |
Touchdown like Broncos |
The song goes on like ponchos |
As for me, I’m gonna be free |
I’m gonna be free from all of this history |
Yeah, me, I’m gonna be free, I’m gonna be free |
And if we can start a riot (well what can we really do?) |
If we can tear a city down (what can we really do?) |
Crush enemies, cause casualties |
If we can start a movement |
If we can lift a city up |
If we can heal the wounded |
Feed our families, face history |
As for me, I’m gonna be free |
I’m gonna be free from all of this history |
Yeah, me, I’m gonna be free, I’m gonna be free |
