Gonna Be Free

Lyrics

Yeah I'm a believer, I won't be beleaguered
 I give a damn, no Leave it to Beaver
 With the R-E-S-P-E-C-T like Aretha
 And if I don't use my feet then I won't have that either
 Yes we serve, we deserve some peace
 And we serve the least versed to reverse
 The deep hurt that's featured
 Each turn of the sheet of a learned history
 Like Wall Street, the Trail of Tears and the War in the Philippines
 And I wash my hands clean like surgeons in emergencies
 Median on weed like conjoinment and Glucosamines
 Relap the joint and wound the knee
 And be like? we're not hearing a beat
 From the projects like? and research
 We're jumping in feet-first
 Reaction on the knee-jerk
 Don't let his story recur
 Swipe? like a Visa
 A fire doesn't need a sinkhole
 Just the silence of the people
 As for me, I'm gonna be free
 I'm gonna be free from all of this history
 Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
 I rhyme post-post-ironic flows (homo)
 I came to fuck shut up, homos
 Stonewall, laugh at that, no no
 Don't y'all assume that I'm straight
 Cause you don't know
 I'm close to the edge like Bono
 Won't fall victim to the Gordian Knot
 Trying to sort again rock mine
 Plot lines are stretched like accordion
 To Resurrect, born again, in division
 Free from all the history
 Beef with salt and misery
 Just how it should be for y'all and is for me
 That's the truth, blppppp as bald as
 Mr. Clean, spit it like Listerine
 'Till my lips are stinging hot, scalding, blistering
 I'm composting primitive thoughts
 And prayers what we want most
 ? lock the prison with God's forgiveness
 It's it a bunch of?
 Touchdown like Broncos
 The song goes on like ponchos
 As for me, I'm gonna be free
 I'm gonna be free from all of this history
 Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
 And if we can start a riot (well what can we really do?)
 If we can tear a city down (what can we really do?)
 Crush enemies, cause casualties
 If we can start a movement
 If we can lift a city up
 If we can heal the wounded
 Feed our families, face history
 As for me, I'm gonna be free
 I'm gonna be free from all of this history
 Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
