Free

(album: Citizens Activ - 2008)

Free to live free to love, free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on, I'm
Free to live free to love free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on
From all the pain, all the times, I ever cried
For those who spoke lies I'm gonna make it
From all the days, all the rage I felt inside
I know I'm still alive not forsaken

[Verse 1:]
I used to want it so bad, I was so mad
Why can't I have a life like he has, autographs
Record tracks tour the globe and rap
It was a dream that seemed out of my grasp or wouldn't last
Months passed, spent cash, all that I had
Had to borrow just to stay at my pad, and no gas
When dreams turn bitter and I know I'm not a quitter
I repaint the picture and start with something clearer
I know what it's like yo, to work so hard, watch it fall apart
After leaving your job
God's got your back it's free at no charge
Speak I'm free and believe with your heart

[Chorus:]
Free to live free to love, free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on, I'm
Free to live free to love free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on
From all the pain, all the times, I ever cried
For those who spoke lies I'm gonna make it
From all the days, all the rage I felt inside
I know I'm still alive not forsaken

[Verse 2:]
My road was long I choked and coughed
I froze and lost, I brushed it off
I wrote to God, Hear me
I got a problem here, can't you see I'm sinking
I'm shrinking, I'm tripping, slipping, searching for some wisdom
Since time is ticking I've been thinking I'm a sleeping victim
Incline my ear listen I was blind I'm here to switch it
This is when I call to you I'm crawling balling out
Falling up to walk with you I'm here to put it down
Anything I don't know, download to my soul
Let me be free so I can free those in pot wholes
Let me sleep breezy like the beaches in Taho
Helped me see clearly you perform the impossible

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
I've been on and off, searching for a better job
Hip hop gave me an out let to set it off
My God saves I'm free to just sing a song
I walk straight to goals as if my team won
Like the pentagon free to drop a bigger bomb
Figured my sisters and brothers they need a leader son
Teeter tottered not wanting to bother
Children need a father not just payment with dollars
Home of the brave were known to rescue and save
In a moment we change, we can't settle for slave
Hold to the dream go big or go home
Freedoms in the heart mind, body & soul
