Freedom Or Death

If I gotta die to be free, then I guess it gotta be
'Cause I've never been a sucker, see?
I can't stand for a man tryna hold me down
Then again I've never been a clown

Countdown, '88, and everything ain't well (freedom or death, freedom or death)
Prepare for a war and war is hell (freedom or death, freedom or death)
And if you think about coppin' a plea (freedom or death, freedom or death)
Don't even waste your breath (freedom or death)
'Cause this time, it's freedom or death (freedom or death)

Conceptually to be free means
To do what I please, but please
'Cause even overseas in my native country
I still get robbed and raped in the face

For gold and all, my people are poor (freedom or death, freedom or death)
For the sake of a thrill, my people get killed (freedom or death, freedom or death)
And we'll be killed 'til there's nobody left (freedom or death, freedom or death)
Unless we understand it's freedom or death (freedom or death, freedom or death)

It only takes one side to declare war
And if the other side ignores
They get mapped, or should I say off the map?
Like a stain's washed out in a laundromat

Wartime, brother, wartime, sister (freedom or death, freedom or death)
We can't wait because they won't wait (freedom or death, freedom or death)
And we've been through so much shit to date (freedom or death, freedom or death)
That we're losin' this war and I hate (freedom or death, freedom or death)

To say that, but it's true, so I say to you
You better learn to defend yourself
Right hand and left, in the east and west
Time for war, freedom or death

If I gotta die to be free, then I guess it gotta be
'Cause I've never been a sucker, see?
I can't stand for a man tryna hold me down
Then again, I've never been a clown

Countdown, '88, and everything ain't well (freedom or death, freedom or death)
Prepare for a war and war is hell (freedom or death, freedom or death)
And if you think about coppin' a plea (freedom or death, freedom or death)
Don't even waste your breath (freedom or death)
'Cause this time, it's freedom or death (freedom or death)
