But not in the physical sense you think of
A freedom like Harriet Tubman was on the brink of
A freedom that goes deeper than the depths of a man's mind
Something like the disc that fits between a man's spine
I wanna be free of heartache and pain
And never let another leave me feeling hurt or ashamed
I wanna be free to help some of those in need of it
And restore faith in some of our youth that need believing in
We're fighting over Jordan's
While they're fighting off disease
But I still stand in line
I can't wait to post a pic
And the shit that I'm guilty of
The same shit that I'm running from
Financial freedom is something I'd love to reach
But for now, I'll settle for my freedom of speech
I never thought that I'd be the one
Knew I couldn't t stay the same
Cause I was chasing hoes on the late night
Yo, freedom of thought freedom of self-expression
When they say it's our right
Then they suddenly silence us threaten with incarceration
Where's the Martins and the Malcolm's of our generation
And now I look around like I why I gotta be the only one
That feels fucked up about the things that I've done
While everybody out here promoting getting richer
I'm trying to buy time cause I see the bigger picture
And it just happens that this the way I grew up
While my family looked at me like I'm a screw-up
Financial freedom is something I'd love to reach
But for now, I'll settle for my freedom of speech
If you could see through my eyes
Maybe you would finally realize
I hurt and I bleed just like you
I'm no different than you
Why can't we have more compassion
My eyes, my eyes, my eyes
Financial freedom is something I'd love to reach
But for now, I'll settle for my freedom of speech
