| Oh, first off, free Juan, free Brian, and free Jig
|
| Behind bars, doin' bids, locked up on «he say, she say» shit
|
| Separated from they kids, the system’s sick
|
| We guilty before we can prove our innocence
|
| Because it’s lucrative
|
| The more bodies in cells, the more they can make sales
|
| To get more sales, it makes no sense
|
| And recklin' the major detention center
|
| Won’t give their inmates no heat or medical attention
|
| They lie to the masses and downplay their livin' conditions
|
| But steady, they buildin' more prison cells
|
| And increasin' college tuition, closin' down neighborhood schools
|
| They strip away tools, we’re still gon' go teachin' them shit they can use
|
| When it’s all said and done
|
| Ring, ding, dong
|
| Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
|
| The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin'
|
| We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin'
|
| Ring, ding, dong (Uh)
|
| Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
|
| To our people on high positions
|
| Ain’t assistin' bein' a house nigga
|
| How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure?
|
| Free (That's real spirit, Ash)
|
| Let my people free (Lord, physically, spiritually)
|
| Let my people—
|
| I had a nightmare the other night
|
| That all of my prayers were denied
|
| When you look toward a savage nation for humanity
|
| Which one do you want more, the validation or reality?
|
| Let my people free
|
| Yeah, let my people free
|
| I rap for the night Big L and Big and Pac got killed, uh
|
| I know some street niggas that’s real
|
| I know some regular niggas who just as real
|
| Some legends who never popped that steel
|
| Street niggas who rap as ill, real life, they not that ill
|
| Niggas with record deals, real life, they contract kill
|
| Niggas who kill to survive, niggas who kill just to kill
|
| A lot of niggas probably want you to die just 'cause you’re dressed to kill
|
| (Survive that shit)
|
| Your final day might be the day that you finally made it
|
| Only Gucci we acknowledge around this way is Radric Davis
|
| Only thing fly around this way, hollow tips, I dodge that shit
|
| Gave my nigga three to five for marijuana and legalized that shit
|
| Ring, ding, dong
|
| Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
|
| The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin'
|
| We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin'
|
| Uh, ring, ding, dong
|
| Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
|
| To our people on high positions
|
| Ain’t assistin' bein' a house nigga
|
| How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure?
|
| Free (Free)
|
| Let my people free
|
| Let my people—
|
| I had a nightmare the other night
|
| That all of my prayers were denied
|
| When you look toward a savage nation for humanity
|
| Which one do you want more, the validation or reality?
|
| Let my people free
|
| Let my people free
|
| Let my people free
|
| Let my people free
|
| My appreciation goes out to
|
| Rizza Islam, David Banner, Derrick Grace, Mike Eric Dyson
|
| D.L. |
| Hughley, T.I.P., Clarence Avant, Steve Carless, Pharrell
|
| Killer Mike, Jay-Z, Dave Chappelle, Jemele Hill
|
| And a special shout out and thank you to Ice T and Ice Cube
|
| For putting your platform on the line
|
| So we could say whatever we want on our platform
|
| You are appreciated |
