Lyrics Fantasia Barrino – Free
Text:
Freedom is one of them things that the human mind
It’ll spend its entire life trying to obtain
See, it ain’t no reason with a nigga if freedom is a prison, feel me
Freedom was granted by God
Not even death, bruh, can take your freedom
See, because it was only granted by God
The only one that can take it away is God Himself
I pray for the mothers and them babies ain’t got no homes (That’s right)
All of my niggas out here working, stay in your zone (Woo)
You got the power but you gotta respect yourself
And you know you never have to bow down to no one else
You’re a king, you’re a queen, yeah, you’re a ruler (Ruler)
And if you didn’t know, take a listen, I’m here to school ya (School ya)
You know that strategic out here pickin’ up on your life (Yup)
It’s an everyday struggle, damnit, when we gon’ get it right?
We gon’ get it right, when we gon’ get it right?
Gotta put up a fight, gotta put up a fight
Said when we gon’ get it right? When we gon’ get it right?
Gotta put up a fight, gotta put up a fight
‘Cause you deserve (You deserve)
I deserve (I deserve)
Yeah, we deserve to be free
We should be free
We should be free
We should be free
Yeah, we deserve to be free
We should be free
We should be free
We should be free
Soon as they do something better, they try to stop you
They wanna keep you in the gutter do anything to block you
Ain’t gonna mute your voice, I’m gonna shout it really loud
The marathon continues, Nipsey, I hope we make you proud
Too many killers I can’t count
Too many murders still unannounced
Everybody tryna figure out
Is it will? Is it the law?
Don’t be afraid (Speak up)
Turn this up all in your (Speakers)
I need the message to reach you, this time
When we gon’ get it right? When we gon’ get it right?
Gotta put up a fight, gotta put up a fight
Said when we gon’ get it right? When we gon’ get it right?
Gotta put up a fight, gotta put up a fight
‘Cause you deserve (You deserve)
I deserve (I deserve)
Yeah, we deserve to be free
We should be free
We should be free
We should be free
Yeah, we deserve to be free
We should be free
We should be free
We should be free
Yeah, you deserve to be
See, that’s your brother, that’s your sister, gotta stop the killing
When we all deserve a plate that comes with all the trimmings
Why we hatin’ when we all just want the best of living?
A future for our children (Yeah, yeah)
You know the game, clear to see they tryna fool you (Yeah)
‘Cause they know exactly who you are, don’t let ’em use you (Yeah)
The battle of freedom, it begins right in your mind
It’s an everyday struggle, damnit, when we gon’ get it right?
We gon’ get it right, when we gon’ get it right?
Gotta put up a fight, gotta put up a fight
Said when we gon’ get it right? When we gon’ get it right?
Gotta put up a fight, gotta put up a fight
‘Cause you deserve (You deserve)
I deserve (I deserve)
Yeah, we deserve to be free
Yeah, we deserve, yeah, we deserve, yeah, we deserve
Yeah, we deserve, yeah, we deserve, yeah, we deserve
Yeah, we deserve to be free
Yeah, we deserve, yeah, we deserve, yeah, we deserve
Yeah, we deserve to be free
Yeah, we deserve, yeah, we deserve, yeah, we deserve
Yeah, we deserve to be free
