I Wanna Live Free Lyrics

I wanna live free

Free as I can be

I wanna fly to the sky

Like the bird I can be

I want peace

I want it ever so sweet

The sirens in my head

Choking me up like a knee

And for what

Is the money not enough

That y'all gotta take our lives

Now you know we fed up

And it's rough

But we gotta live up

Just to be broken down

By the land we trust

I wanna live free

Free as I can be

I wanna fly to the sky

Like the bird I can be

I want peace

I want it ever so sweet

The sirens in my head

Choking me up like a knee

And for what

Is the money not enough

That y'all gotta take our lives

Now you know we fed up

And it's rough

But we gotta live up

Just to be broken down

By the land we trust

Is it me

If I remember it correctly

It was yall that brought us here

That's why I'm speaking it directly

I don't want to be killed for my lyrics being reckless

And why

Cause' I know that y'all would do it for a checklist

And I

Wanna make sure that I see all my successes

When I

Get older I'ma always count my blessings

Cause' I know that I could be gone at any second

Why am I a target in a life

I did not question

Why am I profiled in a hood that I'm a guest in

I guess I fit descriptions so that means I get arrested

I'm not afraid

But I should and that's the lesson

Y'all should listen

So y'all can see just why we stressing

8 minutes and 46 seconds is all it took

For the whole world including y'all

To see that y'all are crooks

That's why we broke loose

All hell and now y'all shook

Wow

Dive deeper with me and let's take a look at how

Our government set us up to be looking down

Police don't give a

I'ma watch my mouth

All the hate inside your heart

I'ts like we shot y'all down

I guess my grey hood will just define me now

As a king

And a black man who wants to live free

Shouldn't have to be six feet for college degrees

Or I'ma be six feet if I go to the streets

Every direction got guns pointed at me

So all that I'm left with is to get on my knees

And pray to God I don't fall in the hands of a beam

And pray to God I don't fall in the land of the free

And pray that if I die He take my soul to keep

Now I'm writing this sincerely

All the people writing and fighting I love dearly

If you lost your life to the fight

Know you near me

We wanna live free and we wanna live it clearly

I wanna live free

Free as I can be

I wanna fly to the sky

Like the bird I can be

I want peace

I want it ever so sweet

The sirens in my head

Choking me up like a knee

And for what

Is the money not enough

That y'all gotta take our lives

Now you know we fed up

And it's rough

But we gotta live up

Just to be broken down

By the land we trust

I wanna live free

Free as I can be

I wanna fly to the sky

Like the bird I can be

I want peace

I want it ever so sweet

The sirens in my head

Choking me up like a knee

And for what

Is the money not enough

That y'all gotta take our lives

Now you know we fed up

And it's rough

But we gotta live up

Just to be broken down

By the land we trust
