We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
A little kid with big sticks and projects
Prison systems inflict the poorest
Innocence, they ain't changed the laws yet
It's criminal to engage with force, yet wars are so lawless
Got to be cautious
Policemen will cuff you so thoughtless
Whether it be the colour of your skin
Or the number of your trim
It's never from what's within
Together we're struggling
Don't you cry, don't you cry
All of my tears are for you
And I don't know why, don't know why
No one hears the truth
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
Lonely single mother tryna make it on her own
Nobody to love her or to put her on a throne
So she grows, beautiful queen you'll never know
How much that I'm sorry for the men that came before
Beat up and raped, treat like a slave, he lost his way
You kept it brave, give me your pain
And we can both fly away
I don't want to see us all divided
I don't want to deal with all the violence
How we gonna heal if we keep silent?
Been going on for years with the emperors and kings
And they don't want to teach us to be righteous
In school, they're never teaching us the right things
It's the power of the hate that's in your eyes, kid
I hope this place will change before I'm in the grave
Don't you cry, don't you cry
All of my tears are for you
And I don't know why, don't know why
No one hears the truth
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free (We can be, we can be)
Why's it been so serious? (Why has it been so?)
We can be so free (We can be, we can be)
Why's it been so serious? (Why has it been so serious?)
(Free)
