| In light of what’s going on in America today
|
| I just want to ask a couple of questions
|
| What’s freedom
|
| I got a lot of white friends some rich and some poor
|
| Some I grew up in the hood they my people for show
|
| When I look at them naw man I don’t see color
|
| I see my family see my friends see my sisters and brothers
|
| But systematically speaking with a different facade
|
| In a judicial system that where all my people get fried
|
| But three strikes be the same as getting lynched on trees
|
| We pull up in the same car and police pick on me
|
| I guess I’m guilty til I’m innocent never given the benefit
|
| My black skin automatically mean that I did the shit
|
| And they don’t need no witnesses and even if you witnessed it
|
| If they want me guilty they’ll find a way to make convictions Stick
|
| But if you just look back
|
| In America at political prisoners like the prat and go look three
|
| Asada and Monia they want you locked they uh never free ya
|
| Whats freedom
|
| Something that a black man in America never feels
|
| Freedom
|
| They give us all freedom of speech but say the wrong thing You getting killed
|
| freedom
|
| Our ancestors sang I want to be free free
|
| Freedom
|
| And as long as we’ve been the slaves we’ll never be free
|
| Free as the water in my aquarium horoscope
|
| What is freedom black man
|
| Is that rhetorical we don’t like when Neo had to go meet with The oracle
|
| As the world turn music is louder that oracle
|
| All these voices in my head of people that’s dead
|
| I could write a book impose a letters all from the feds
|
| Or the state and I hate the fact they never be back
|
| White privilege is real you could never be black
|
| No matter how hard you sag and you use the word nigga
|
| You never understand the hardships of me and my niggas
|
| Imagine me and Copefield as a killer and crook
|
| They start no evidence all just how you look
|
| And in my book I speak on the streets that I stay
|
| How they ain’t no different than the streets in L. A
|
| How they ain’t no different than the streets in the A
|
| How police want to kill a man and leave him like Freddie Gray
|
| What’s freedom
|
| Something that a black man in America never feels
|
| Freedom
|
| They give us all freedom of speech but say the wrong thing You getting killed
|
| freedom
|
| Our ancestors sang I want to be free free
|
| Freedom
|
| And as long as we’ve been the slaves we’ll never be free
|
| Peace king need ya’ll to use your vision
|
| What’s the difference between a plantation and a prison
|
| What’s the difference between a slave and a inmate
|
| It’s no difference one picking cotton one making license plates
|
| A slave master and a warden a NBA owner got his top slave Scoring
|
| A NFL owner treat his players like Madden on the sticks bro
|
| You see how they did my cousin Marshawn Lynch though
|
| Hate a black man standing for up black people
|
| Shouting out real Africans to them that was evil
|
| He was just a black man being a real black figure
|
| But they like no matter what man you still a nigga
|
| They be feeling like you think you tough
|
| A bad boy with some money oh you think you Puff
|
| Made it out of Def Jam what you think you Russ
|
| Laughing at your little money like he think he us
|
| Freedom
|
| Something that a black man in America never feels
|
| Freedom
|
| They give us all freedom of speech but say the wrong thing You getting killed
|
| freedom
|
| Our ancestors sang I want to be free free
|
| Freedom
|
| And as long as we’ve been the slaves we’ll never be free
|
| Freedom |
