Freedom (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder
 Tell the storm I'm new
 I'mma walk, I'mma march on the regular
 Painting white flags blue
 Lord forgive me, I've been running
 Running blind in truth
 I'mma rain, I'mma rain on this bitter love
 Tell the sweet I'm new
 I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away"
 May the last one burn into flames
 Freedom! Freedom! I can't move
 Freedom, cut me loose!
 Singin', freedom! freedom! Where are you?
 Cause I need freedom too!
 I break chains all by myself
 Won't let my freedom rot in hell
 Hey! I'mma keep running
 Cause a winner don't quit on themselves
 ♪
 I'mma wade, I'mma wave through the waters
 Tell the tide, "Don't move"
 I'mma riot, I'mma riot through your borders
 Call me bulletproof
 Lord forgive me, I've been runnin'
 Runnin' blind in truth
 I'mma wade, I'mma wave through your shallow love
 Tell the deep I'm new
 I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away"
 May the last one burn into flames
 Freedom! Freedom! I can't move
 Freedom, cut me loose!
 Singin', freedom! Freedom! Where are you?
 Cause I need freedom too!
 I break chains all by myself
 Won't let my freedom rot in hell
 Hey! I'mma keep running
 Cause a winner don't quit on themselves

 Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practice
 Channel 9 news tell me I'm movin' backwards
 Eight blocks left, death is around the corner
 Seven misleadin' statements 'bout my persona
 Six headlights wavin' in my direction
 Five-O askin' me what's in my possession
 Yeah I keep runnin', jump in the aqueducts
 Fire hydrants and hazardous
 Smoke alarms on the back of us
 But mama don't cry for me, ride for me
 Try for me, live for me
 Breathe for me, sing for me
 Honestly guidin' me
 I could be more than I gotta be
 Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy
 Code on me, drive on me
 Wicked, my spirit inspired me
 Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert
 Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression
 Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs
 And when they carve my name inside the concrete
 I pray it forever reads
 Freedom! Freedom! I can't move
 Freedom, cut me loose!
 Singin', freedom! Freedom! Where are you?
 Cause I need freedom too!
 I break chains all by myself
 Won't let my freedom rot in hell
 Hey! I'mma keep running
 Cause a winner don't quit on themselves
 What you want from me?
 Is it truth you seek? Oh father can you hear me?
 What you want from me?
 Is it truth you seek? Oh father can you hear me?
 Hear me out

 I had my ups and downs,
 But I always find the inner strength
 To cool myself off.
 I was served lemons, but I made lemonade
