Free
(专辑: Black Habits - 2020)
What if I
used to be a
president in a
past life? With a
match and a
pipe And a
top hat in the
back of ride In a
chariot, chasing Harriet through the
night I
barely get sleep, my karma owe me much drama Men are sheep, I
sold three last summer A
black back ain't exact until it got stripes Beat that boy 'til he collapse Tease that boy, make him fight his brother Make him hate his mama, make him blame his father, you Follow the
rules and they always gon' do what they do Never revolt, never rebel, Willie Lynch taught us just how to sell White lies to these black lives, and if you train 'em, then they act right But whatever you do Free like my energy (Don't ask why) Free like my enemies Free like the
soul of my homies Free like a
sinner, yes, I'm free Yes, I'm free I
am free like my paradigm Shifting my state of mind Listen to my creator Make sure that I
stay aligned Yes, I'm free ¿Quiúbole, carnal'? (My brother) Me pueden poner en cadenas (They can put me in chains) Me pueden encarcelar (They can lock me up) Pero no me pueden atrapar la mente (But they can't trap my mind) Lamentablemente han tratado de hacer esclavos de mi gente (They tried to make slaves of my people) Pero del corazón hay un fuente (But from our heart runs a
fountain) Corriente (Flowing) Siguiente (Continuing) Sí se puede (Yes, I
can) Si Dios quiere (God willing) Vamos What if I
was to leave some evidence? Like a
crack pipe or the
shell of a
nine Milli' or a
philly with plenty of my saliva 'Cause I
hit the
blunt one too many times Blood, we can hit 'em up They got four, five racks in the
safe And they don't come back 'til it's late Plus I
got another three in the
mattress by the
atlas Put us on the
map with the
cake, yeah At least that's what we thought No, not me, nigga, we get caught? Yeah right Then peeking out the
window, a
nigga see them red and blue lights, oh shit Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit Hit the
back road, clear the
whole fence But in the
process A
nigga dropped the
whole four-fifth And they circled the
block Free like my energy (I got caught) Free like my enemies Free like the
soul of my homies Free like a
sinner, yes, I'm free (Plus that canine tore out half my calf) Yes, I'm free (I don't know how to do this time, I
guess I
better ask my dad, so pass my past) I
am free like my paradigm Shifting my state of mind Listen to my creator Make sure that I
stay aligned Yes, I'm free Ayy What if I
was to need some medicine for my lymph nodes? I'm a
pimp with these hoes My bitch gave me kiss and my neck was swole I
was in the
studio next to Smoke And the
big homie BJ said, "Boy, get that checked out" Guillotine flow, don't stick your neck out Nigga, I'm chis', I
spit that best out But I
ain't tryna be stretched out So I
went up to Kaiser, my surprise was the
diagnosis What? Cancer? I'm twenty-two plus when I
spit, I'm dope as shit I
went through that chemo and radiation Stem cell transplant, the
patients Next to me in they eighties I'm just a
baby Free like my energy (But now I'm free) Free like my enemies Free like the
soul of my homies Free like a
sinner, yes, I'm free Yes, I'm free I
am free like my paradigm Shifting my state of mind Listen to my creator Make sure that I
stay aligned Yes, I'm free God is so good, so good, so good God is so good, so good to me God is so good, so good, so good God is so good, He's so good to me
