Free

Every mountain, you brought me over

Every trial, you seen me through

Over this, I give you praise

Look, ain't been to sleep in a few weeks, I got some shit on my chest

Thinking on a train to Jersey like Mitchell & Ness

She from the Apple, Eve, asking if I wanna have sex

I'm just tryna get my checks like landlords want rent

Rental cars for the weekend

Niggas going off the deep end

Tryna impress somebody who could care less

So niggas here is like hairnets, this ain't a fair bet

Look up in the room in back, niggas ain't left they front step

Frontin' on the net like they Pablo or El Chapo

Clocking in to Costco, scared to be yourself

Real niggas, we can tell, throw a penny in the well

Wish a nigga would, they gon' have to wish him well

When the ship set to sail, they all pile up at the dock

But I been on my own since I started from the bottom

I been living life since I got out of them shackles

I know that's only half of the battle, but look

Through all the tribulations, you keep on blessing me

When I'm gone, will you remember me?

We need a renewal, need a refresher

Loose my shackles, uh, set me free

I had a lot of friends that turned to enemies

Lord, are they not who they pretend to be?

Dawg, I ain't feeling your energy

Loose they shackles, Lord, set 'em free

Set 'em free, set 'em free

Loose they shackles, Lord, set 'em free

Set me free, set me free, loose my shackles, Lord

Set me free as a dove, uh

Key of that dove can make a drug lord open up

Uppity departments round here, not DTE

Ain't no role models, kids wanna be what they see on TV

Rappers and athletes, why don't you go and get your law degree?

Gotta be smarter than the system, doing dirt up in these streets

What I do with words and beats, I know it's hard to compete

I know I changed the way niggas approach the MPC

Empty my account, no way I don't believe

I couldn't get it back like bra straps

Then I popped while I was overseas

All them little niggas round you, how you not notice me?

Quick to heat up, but I'm cool like an ocean breeze

Every mountain, you brought me over

Every trial, you seen me through

Every blessing, hallelujah

For this, I give you praise

Through all the tribulations, you keep on blessing me

When I'm gone, will you remember me?

We need a renewal, need a refresher

Loose my shackles, uh, set me free
