[Hook]
You talk of Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom!
[VERSE 1]
If it’s one thing I learned from your bid
My nigga, it’s you
Are just like me, shit, I’m doing the bid too
As you were, before you got locked up
They just switched you
To the other side of the wall, but same shit, dude
Life’s obstacles is like a cell in itself
I know you feel me, the story, you could tell it yourself
Brought into life trapped, fuck, placed on this earth
Incarcerated hurt, a slave to this work
That set you free, but wait
They keep us bound with this minimum wage shit
We fight with pride, like those principles pay shit
It’s true, though, refuse those ways, on how to move so
We hit the streets searching for freedom and in form of loop holes
Cheat the system, every re-up given, we out pitchin’
Tryna break outta those chains that we were given
Cop cars and cameras, mounted in every area
Till’ they relocate your cell, it ain’t fair to us, Freedom
[Hook]
You talk of Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom!
[Verse 2]
Moved again, this conception that you’re off, you’re told
Open your cell, you walk so bold back on those roads
But you can’t get a job to stay on your toes
An gotta eat, you ain’t free nigga, you on parole
Those cell bars switch form and got a monster hold
Hunger, pain and dreams of living large as Hov
They ain’t providin’ help, nigga
You starving, so you resort to old ways
Shit is hard, I know
And they got you on that bracelet
Free how? when you walkin’ round with a CO
In a form of an anklet, no chain lifted
This is just a relocation
New set of inmates in a different jail station
House arrest, monitored calls and probation
Home checks, curfews, living limitations
A thin line, you walk to avoid that violation
And which they then move yourself
Aw, nigga, this ain’t freedom
[Hook]
You talk of Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom!
[Verse 3]
They say the laws to protect and correct, right!
We ought’a be confused. It’s awkward how it’s viewed
If you saw it from my shoes. You would see illegal searches
The wrongfully accused. This is more than what they choose to show
All up on the news
That July 5th piss test ordered to the dude on parole
Huge drinker, this is also that he lose
This is drug raids, cases built, drawn out once they knew
Still monitoring moves once they all know what they do
This is unemployed felon shit, filling outta app
After time served, still they got him chilling in this trap
Every background check gonna reveal a niggas past
When he he did just what he had, now back dealing for that cash
This is modern day slave shit, where power gets abused
This is Amistad slave shit, holocaust day shit
Trayvon killed and the killer walks free
And they give my brother ten years for selling drugs, please!
This ain’t freedom!
[Hook]
You talk of Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom!
