These songs of freedom Redemption songs 'Cause all I ever had Old pirates, yes, they rob I Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look? Some say it's just a part of it

And do you think you deserve your freedom There's no justice in the world Throw it all away Lets lose ourselves Cause there's no one left for us to blame Its a shame we're all dying How could you send us all far away from home When you know damn well

Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will? Wasting all my precious time I've told you now Still I refrain From talking at you, talking on You know me well I don't explain You know what I mean

It ain't easy, being me Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free It ain't easy I take a shot of Henessey now I'm strong enough to face the madness Nickel bag full of sess weed laced with hash Phone calls from my niggas on the, other side Two

And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts I'm just lucky to have the work But I thank God for the work When I get home from work Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church I'll call up all my friends And we'll go bust up something beautiful

The man oppressed will seem to do the worst But with all he possesses self preservation comes first His damnation comes not from burning free As destruction of the poor is their poverty, is their poverty While oppression is the poor man's choice Ah, but

Fly to who you are Climb upon your star Everywhere you go Your soul will find a home You'll be free to spread your wings Fly, you can fly to your heart Watch all the flowers Dance with the wind

It feels like I'm finally free There's nothing else I need That nothing's out of reach When you're with me Then you spoke your truth with no secrets Told me, "use your heart while it's beating" When you're right here beside me Feels like I'm finally free
