| And I know y’all can relate
|
| (Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze
|
| And all of these problems I face
|
| (Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my
|
| The only thing I can believe in
|
| (Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live
|
| And this is the path to my freedom
|
| Before the Snowgoons squad was build
|
| Before better luck was revealed
|
| Before getting props in the field from my productions with Bill
|
| Before I tore off with some promotors, performances and posters
|
| Before touring with La Coka
|
| Before the various travels
|
| Before my work with passionate Pharaohs
|
| I only had frustrations that I didn’t manage to channel
|
| A rascal who look for ways to escape from the lunacy
|
| With great opportunity but impatiently usually
|
| Too young and troubled, an obvious menace
|
| I invited problems so I had to fuck off grimace
|
| Society’s expectations left more room for insanity
|
| Life was never met with horseshoes or rabbit feet
|
| Then my brother bumped a tape with Run-DMC
|
| My thoughts regained speed, my tongue became free
|
| Bought a Public Enemy record and instantly wrote a rap
|
| Felt it would take a whole nation of millions to hold me back
|
| (Freedom) This is my only escape but I make
|
| And I know y’all can relate
|
| (Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze
|
| And all of these problems I face
|
| (Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my
|
| The only thing I can believe in
|
| (Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live
|
| And this is the path to my freedom
|
| I used to put my headphones on and image a life
|
| Better than the one that I had 'cause I was having to fight
|
| Constantly within the darkness tryna stand in the light
|
| But all that shit just disappeared when I got handed the mic
|
| I used to sit in my room and play my guitar
|
| Making mixtapes on cassette, who knew I’d make it this far
|
| Listening to everything from Nas to Slayer and
|
| I was like every other kid but now they say I’m a star
|
| I used to run around the town painting my name
|
| Looking for some recognition in the taste of the fame
|
| Just a poor kid numb, my face in the rain
|
| They gave me shelter from the pain that runs through my veins
|
| I used to second guess the work that I would create
|
| Feel like the world is on my shoulders and I carry the weight
|
| And now I do it for the fans 'cause they say they relate
|
| Music is my therapy, this is my way to escape, yeah
|
| (Freedom) This is my only escape but I make
|
| And I know y’all can relate
|
| (Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze
|
| And all of these problems I face
|
| (Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my
|
| The only thing I can believe in
|
| (Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live
|
| And this is the path to my freedom
|
| (Freedom) This is my only escape but I make
|
| And I know y’all can relate
|
| (Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze
|
| And all of these problems I face
|
| (Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my
|
| The only thing I can believe in
