Someday We'll All Be Free

Look
I'm so glad to be alive to spread my passion
I'm thankful for the chance to motivate us into action
Yeah, this is for the one's who thought the goal in life was cashin'
Been hustlin' so much but ended up with just a fraction
Let's go for the whole
Tryna bank, but ain't got time to even call our homes
Yeah, I know, I know, "we gotta grind if we gon' see results"
Money rolls might get the things we wanted in life
But in the end the connections we make go farther than life
I think it's my pride
Or maybe my shame
That got in my way
Convinced myself that it's too late to start in the game
But this is my life
This is my zen that I'm neglectin'
My biggest obstacle in life is holdin' this pen

Oh, the cage is in our mind
Oh, the cage is in our mind, yeah
Oh, the cage is in our mind
Oh, the cage is in our mind, yeah

Look
So tell me when will our people recognize they power?
We glazin' over life and hopin' for the holy hour
But I can't afford the luxury of hopin for
Salvation when people dyin' 'fore they even born
You see cuz hope is just another word for "waitin' for"
I been complacent far too long
I just can't bear to wait no more
Just can't bear to wait in lines
Just can't bear to waste more time
And yeah, I know
It's only been a month since I been on my grind
I bet you wonder who am I to tell you how to live your life
Ain't about who says it
It's the message that we take inside
So dig inside ya mind and find the way that you gon' wanna be
Tryna be yourself or you gon' try to be a wannabe?
When I was a kid, I used to try to be my older brother
Tried to follow in his shoes and lost my vision for another's
I was blind, but now I see that imitation's suicide
Shove yourself into a mold and it will leave you dead inside
I was afraid to death of dyin' cuz I still had parts to play
Used to be afraid of rhymin' but I still got lots to say
Yeah my goal is to inspire us to life for everyday
Tryna break my chains and show us that someday we'll all be free
Yeah

Now I know it gets hard sometimes, man
Feels like people got you down sometimes
Feels like you can't get a leg up in the world
But I promise you brother
I promise you brother
You commit yourself to your dreams
You commit yourself to growin' everyday
To showin' up everyday
And you can do anything
You can do anything you dedicate your time to
You can do anything you dedicate your life to
Don't let nobody tell you otherwise, my man
Don't let nobody tell you otherwise, brother

Oh, the cage is in our mind
Oh, the cage is in our mind, yeah
Oh, the cage is in our mind
Oh, the cage is in our mind, yeah
