Then we could be free..

Huh, yeah, huh

If I could change, I'd be free on a slave ship

I'd rather feel the waves of the sea, huh

I'm tryna put a bang to the beat, guess it's aging

I'm learning 'bout restraint and release, save me

I gotta snap my cape out of crease, lately

I turn the other page 'fore I read, only taste it

But always gotta bathe in defeat, name it

I seen every way of deceit, it's the same shit

The only thing changing the speed, I deflate it

I had to switch the pace of the heat, the cadence

Know you could feel the pain in my speech, breaking

Rather break an eighth of the tree, say I made it

But never seen a face of relief, just the payment

Just another day in the East, aching

I gotta wear the weight on my sleeve like a bracelet

Shit you can't replace for the cheese, uh

It's different every phase what I peeped, be patient

It ain't every race that you lead, complacent

But only if I change, I'll be free from the chained wrist

Something I could gain from the grief (yeah)

Yeah, but never seen a face of relief, just the payment

Just another day in the East, aching

I gotta wear the weight on my sleeve like a bracelet

Shit you can't replace for the cheese
