Freedom
At times like this I wonder if God is even there
And if so, do He really care?
I mean there's so much going on in this world that we live in
Seen the gift of life taken from those it has been given
I'm thinking, we hold on to faith 'cause that's religion
Misled by the same leader failing to see our vision
Failing to deliver the very things that they promised
Feeding the people lies, we mistake them for being honest
I've never felt the need to vote
Who's to say the man elected is the key to hope
People flocking to ballet boxes trying to make a change
But the way the system is setup it's a set up, it's strange (C'mon)
If anybody's listening this is my cry for help
They're slaughtering our children in this race for power and wealth
Why I scream (FREEDOM)
Free us from these shackles that are holding us down
(FREEDOM)
For too long we've been hurting so I'm screaming aloud
(FREEDOM)
Lord, would you save us from ourselves?
(FREEDOM)
If you're listening this is my cry for help
How the actions of a few could affect a population
Of over a million, think of the children that we're raising
They look to us for help and yet we're seeking the same
It's in our nature to point a finger when looking to blame
When in reality what it takes is a change from within
Seeking Babylon and yet we're quicker to sin
We turn right around and ask the Lord to forgive
Repent for every evil, then do it all over again
What a twisted cycle, I'm reminded of the struggle
My city had to pick itself up from the rubble
Tried to move on, but something's holding us back
Being the very same events I wrote about in these raps
If anybody's listening this is my cry for help
They're slaughtering our children in this race for power and wealth
Why I scream (FREEDOM)
Free us from these shackles that are holding us down
(FREEDOM)
For too long we've been hurting so I'm screaming aloud
(FREEDOM)
Lord, would you save us from ourselves?
(FREEDOM)
If you're listening this is my cry for help
Social instability, greed and opposition
Shouldn't be the concern of a nation in our position
When our economy could barely stay afloat
Politicians politicking, only concerned with votes
Schools close down, while jobs are hard to find
The world is moving forward as we linger behind
Is it fair? Outsiders interfere, do they care?
Offering aid, but my people are in need of prayer
There's a war going on outside, who's really dying?
A child in a village going hungry while mother's crying
Turn a corner around Victoria, what do you find?
Sisters selling their bodies to strangers for a peace of mind
As time goes late nights become darker
Peace talks fall through, there's no honor
Days pass, guns blast, I'm feeling bothered
Could this be the end of a nation a king fathered?
I refuse to believe this is the end
So instead I seek guidance from a friend
Knees to the floor, head to the sky
As I ask God why (Why?)
If anybody's listening this is my cry for help
They're slaughtering our children in this race for power and wealth
Why I scream (FREEDOM)
Free us from these shackles that are holding us down
(FREEDOM)
For too long we've been hurting so I'm screaming aloud
(FREEDOM)
Lord, would you save us from ourselves?
(FREEDOM)
If you're listening this is my cry for help
And if so, do He really care?
I mean there's so much going on in this world that we live in
