Free ft. Lakeith Rashad Lyrics

I've been through the fire

So many times

I've waited in darkness

For all of my life

Now I wanna be free

I just wanna be free

I just wanna be free

I wanna be free

I just wanna be free

I wanna be free

I came from the fire

Rain done retired

It's pain on my side

Anger and pride

High as the skies

These tears I done cried

Many have fell

Going through hell

They left us to die

Buried in Lies

Very deprived

But soon we'll arise

Broke them chains loose

Now we can't lose

Bring the opposite of deuce

Let the gangs truce

Used to hang us by our noose

Now they aim shoot

Genocide, been alive

Shit, this ain't news

I'm all for shit

I was raised in the gutter

Where them killers, addicts, hustlers

All neighbored each other

Mostly raised by single mothers

This system trapping our fathers

So father beckon our daughters

And take her back half a dollars

Even through the sheep wool

I can see the enemy

They want us to sleep good

Hiding our identity

They know who we are

And what we capable of

It's time to shine our light on them

Cause enough is enough

I've been through the fire

So many times

Rashad

I've waited in darkness

For all of my life

Now I wanna be free

I just wanna be free

I just wanna be free

Wanna be free

I just wanna be free

Wanna be free

Free to breathe the fresh air

Go to sleep with no cares

Wake me from these nightmares

Life is hard and unfair

The land of the free

In dire need of repairs

Through my eyes I see

Love has become so scarce

We're in a state of despair

All these people in the street

Down on their luck

The government doesn't give a fuck

Unless they lock us up earning bucks

I'm going through hell again

With the ashes off my skin

The flames are rising

My people out here suffering

Struggling

Dying

The storm is getting hectic

We need to change the climate

We need to help each other

Man this world is too divided

I see why they suicidal

But hold on be strong and fight it

Why is it the poorest

Always has the helping hand

I thought this was the mainland

We walking through a wasteland

Just wanted to be the homeland

Go back to the way it was beforehand

But build it better be our heartland

God damn

I've been through the fire

House

So many times

I've waited in darkness

For all of my life

Now I wanna be free

I just wanna be free

I just wanna be free

Wanna be free

I just wanna be free

Wanna be free

I just wanna be free
