Freedom

I'm talking about freedom

Freedom, freedom, freedom

I'm talking about freedom

Freedom for you and for me

And every living thing that breathes

Freedom for you and for me

And every living thing that breathes

Ayo, the message went out through smoke signals

Spit conscious and dope 'til he was broke then he wrote jingles

His flow used to make toes tingle

Got coked by the bindles, now his home ain't got no windows

And me, I gotta be free

Whether it's praying to who I wanna

Pray to or smoking trees in the street

A beast on the beat, because of freedom of speech

My punchlines hit so hard you're lucky keeping your teeth

This is real life talk, a night walk through the ages

The deep thoughts I'm blazing parallels to Vedic sages

Break out the cages, the war for freedom of mind rages on

So the song keeps on playing

I want freedom for my people abroad

And financial freedom for my people who don't sleep on the job

Freedom from the negative song villain

Free falling like Tom Petty or blowing in the wind like Bob Dylan

Freedom for you and for me

And every living thing that breathes

Freedom for you and for me

And every living thing that breathes

Let me spell it out for you

F-R-E-E-D-O-M

Yeah I'm talking about freedom for my next of kin

And I'm speaking on freedom for the ones right here

And I'll be screaming about freedom 'til your ears are bleeding

My patience is receding like a bad hairline

I'm still waiting on freedoms that I was promised back in '89

Not to drop a dime, why is there all of this bitching

When we voted on a pass illegal weed proposition?

Whatever happened to what our forefathers envisioned?

In a democracy the people get to make the decisions

Why do we sit back and act like second class citizens?

We're supposed to be holding the wheel sitting in the pole position

Leading the race, setting the standards
