 Free truth

 My mama pinned a rose on me
 I went to see, I went to see, I went to see
 (To see, to see)
 Mary Lou Williams played Scorpio
 Ran 'em keys back inside the piano
 Free spirits, free spirits

 Free truth, free in the air

 So sharp, so sharp
 Be sharp, so sharp
 So sharp they bleed

 So sharp they bleed

 (I went to see) ode to Mary
 Took me to his grandmother's house
 And I prayed at least 11 months before I came back to America
 I cancelled all my work and everything and
 I began praying for at least ten years straight
 Off and on, Daizy Gillespie, he's such a wonderful guy
 He'd call me to go out on gigs with him
 And I'd go back in the house and pray again, you know?
