Freedom (Monarch)

(album: Monarch - 2019)

How could this ugly world not see my beauty?
My strength, my resurrection, rebirth?
My God, me and man both come and return to dirt
You gained your wings in heaven, I gained my wings on earth

I came a long way in my grove
Realized beauty in the heart and the soul
The worm got a glow that the world don't know
Looking back on the steps that I had to go
And the stripes that I earned, it made me bold
Came out warm when the world was cold
I got my wings and I spread 'em out
To cover you with love, I gotta talk about it
Gotta change the rider, gotta take the drone
That's where beaty like me belong
For the motherland, a mother man
Right or wrong and I'm still praying
With both hands that you see the butterfly
And the caterpillar too and its wings spread
I'm a fly chick and I'm righteous
My own resurrection taught me what life is
Love supreme, worth the fight
With a gentle soul, with a brightness
We can brighten this dark world
Take a flight even if the wind twirls
And the day curls, it's night still
I'ma shine bright like the sun feels warm
My butterfly came from the storm
I got my wings and I kept going on [?]

Don't forget about the night
And the chrysalis that kept you warm
'Cause love's inside
Push yourself for the light
Show the beauty and the might within
Your life's divine

Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom

Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom

I've got paper, I've got stakes
Crystalizing tokens of memories here
In my head, the price has been paid
I've been dead [?]
Sit myself, I can sit myself
And what you won't give my destiny's made
Recover from [?] spew it from hate
I'm glad I was made, I'm the happy [?]

I remember the day you threw some shots
You called me ugly, you threw some rocks
Still had to climb though, you put up blocks
Rose from the bottom, now I live on top
Negativity, I can't be a prop
I can't be in locks, I'm too free a box
Float like a butterfly, big ass shot
It's a process I counted on the clock
You've couldn't process my transformation cost
The fight, the tears, I still ain't lost
Freedom, I rose despise the [?]
Thank God for the wings to my broken heart
The boss king makes you [?]
Freedom is when you love who you are
Where we end ain't where we start
Freedom is when you find a light in the dark, go

Don't forget about the night
And the chrysalis that kept you warm
'Cause love's inside
Push yourself for the light
Show the beauty and the might within
Your life's divine

Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom

Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
