Free
Baby don't nothing ever come free
And nothing worth keeping stay easily
Kiss your mother, love your brother but
Keep your gun loaded and
Fuck 'em if they don't understand you
Fuck 'em if they don't understand you
I'm stuck around capitalists who play spiritual
And hate miracles, unless you act esoterical
I switch the style just to raise some eyebrows
And see some hands go up in the middle of the crowd
But nothing comes free in the land of the free
Still gotta pay a bill just to stand up and pee
Pay a penalty if you dare to take a knee
At a football game, what a wack ass league
Baby, ain't nothing free
Time is your currency
Pay your attention please
What you give, what you receive
Baby, I know you're tired
Fighting just to stay alive
Promise you I sympathize
And still we rise
Still we rise
Together we rise
I ain't perfect but I try to be prolific
In a world where I get depicted as a Decepticon
I write my thoughts but a modern day hieroglyphic
I know most ain't this gifted
Blow smoke, still get lifted
Flows dope, mindset cryptic
I ain't gotta say much but my clique get it
I'm MJ in his prime on my pivot
Waiting to catch you slipping, so I can up my digits
Baby don't nothing ever come free
And nothing worth keeping stay easily
Kiss your mother, love your brother but
Keep your gun loaded and
Fuck 'em if they don't understand you
Fuck 'em if they don't understand you
And still we rise
I had a bad dream the other day
That I lost my brother to a tragedy, yea
He really gone when my eyes awake
It ain't no time to waste
It ain't no time to waste
I shed a tear and I bounce back
Somebody got be strong body so I'll be that
And I ain't mad at the pain that I been through
Cuz scar tissue is the hardest to rip through
What's the line between take and protect?
Forgive and forget?
Now I gotta live with regret
I see the struggle all around me, I just do my best
I keep my people close to me and I count my blessings
Can't stop me now
I got a mission for the vision to the top somehow
And I'ma take all of my people that you wan hold down
We got love as a weapon, come see about us
Just remember that ain't shit free
And ain't shit sweet
What you sow, you reap
I promise I'ma get back what was taken from me
Rest in peace
And nothing worth keeping stay easily
Kiss your mother, love your brother but
Keep your gun loaded and
Fuck 'em if they don't understand you
Fuck 'em if they don't understand you
I'm stuck around capitalists who play spiritual
And hate miracles, unless you act esoterical
I switch the style just to raise some eyebrows
And see some hands go up in the middle of the crowd
But nothing comes free in the land of the free
Still gotta pay a bill just to stand up and pee
Pay a penalty if you dare to take a knee
At a football game, what a wack ass league
Baby, ain't nothing free
Time is your currency
Pay your attention please
What you give, what you receive
Baby, I know you're tired
Fighting just to stay alive
Promise you I sympathize
And still we rise
Still we rise
Together we rise
I ain't perfect but I try to be prolific
In a world where I get depicted as a Decepticon
