Freedom's Song

(album: Soon Enough - 2019)

My name is Freedom and this is my song
My momma raised me like
Son, someday you're gonna shed the light
If you fall you'll come back all right
It might take a minute but you'll be right on time
This little mic of mine
Soundman turn it high
Both hands up
Reaching for the sky
Sometimes I feel like freedom is all we got

The plot goes, 8 years old, listening to Pac
Who would of known kids would follow my thoughts
Freedom to me means freedom for all
In that case, this is a liberation song
My godson, 9 years old, rocking at my concerts
Got to pay him a quarter for every swear word
But never wrote a word I couldn't say
And see him sing along while I'm rapping on the stage
That's freedom (freedom)

For me, that's freedom (of mind)
That's freedom (freedom)
And it's all I got (freedom is all I got)

This little light of mine, I'm wanna see you shine
You're my hope, you're my joy, you're my pride
This little light of mine, don't let them take your shine
It's your hope, it's your soul, it's your life
(Freedom is all I got)

I did it all for you (you)
I write this song for you (you)
I go to the mall and buy you what you want for you (you)
You and my mother, father, brother, all I care about
'Bout to leave on tour again but hear me out
Every city that I go to I get you something to show you
Hope you see the world is better then Donald Trump had told you
Fuck him, that's a quarter, fuck it, here's a dollar
Every time someone buy's this song, I'll give you all the profits
But that's for college (yeah)
Go stack that knowledge (yeah)
Make your momma proud just like I did
Rappers don't need to receive diplomas on stage
I did it for your face when you saw me graduate
That's freedom (freedom)

For me, that's freedom (of mind)
That's right, that's freedom (freedom)
And he's all I got (freedom is all I got)

This little light of mine, I'm wanna see you shine (I wanna see you shine)
You're my hope, you're my joy, you're my pride (my pride and joy)
This little light of mine, don't let them take your shine
It's your hope, it's your soul, it's your life
(Freedom is all I got)

This little light of mine, I'm wanna see it shine (It's all that I got)
You're my hope, you're my joy, you're my pride (my pride)
This little light of mine, don't let them take your shine
It's your hope, it's your soul, it's your life (my joy in this world)

All that I got
All that I got
Can you hear me sing?
(Freedom is all I got)
(Freedom) You're my pride and joy, (of mind) my only love in this world
Freedom
