Want to Be

I am just another
Wanna be free
Wanna be free
How much the fee
How much it cost

Just another prole
When he closes his eyes
He dreams of freedom

I said
I am just another prole
When he closes his eyes
He dreams of freedom
I wanna be

Yeah, how much does it cost
Tell me, How many dollars does it take to absolve
How many inequalities to even the odds
How many bodies gotta leave to cover the charge
Tell me

We came from gods, kings, and queens
And now we
Are merely cogs in the machine
That are rou-tinely targeted
Tarnishin' our dreams
I'm harboring the faith that a lining is in the seams
Short
Sighted when I see
These policies made of greed
Intentionally created to silence all of our people
Violence
Protesting
They slaughterin'
Human beings
A part of me
Truly sees
Dichotomy
In between
Apologies
And their grievances
Swallowing
All they reasonings
Fallacies
All they feeding us
Wolves guiding the sheep, tell me
How much does it cost to be free
Tell me
How much does it cost to be free

I don't know what it feels like
To be free
How much it cost
I said
I am just another prole
When he closes his eyes
He dreams of freedom

I said
I am just another prole
When he closes his eyes
He dreams of freedom
I wanna be free

I beg, I beg, I beg nobody tells you how your tone should be
Please do not forget we came from nothing less than royalty
Magesty's who shaped the Earth
Skin was black as soil be
Black as oil be
You look exactly how you're s'posed to be

I beg, I beg, I beg nobody tells you how your tone should be
Please do not forget we came from nothing less than royalty
Magesty's who shaped the Earth
Skin was black as soil be
Black as oil be
You look exactly how you're s'posed to be

I beg, I beg, I beg nobody tells you how your tone should be
Please do not forget we came from nothing less than royalty
Magesty's who shaped the Earth
Skin was black as soil be
Black as oil be
You look exactly how you're s'posed to be

I beg, I beg, I beg nobody tells you how your tone should be
Please do not forget we came from nothing less than royalty
Magesty's who shaped the Earth
Skin was black as soil be
Black as oil be
You look exactly how you're s'posed to be

Wanna be free
Won't you free my people
We wanna be free
