Free Me

Ever felt the pain of
Your baby boy crying from hunger and you know you ain't got no change?
So you hit up your partner to ask for a dollar
But he leave you hangin'?
Would hit up your momma
But she been doin' double shifts just to make it
Would hit up your father
But on the low you don't even know where he stay at?
And you shouldn't even be broke,
The whole world know you signed to a major
Try to hit up your dawg, he like "What you mean?
Where RCA at?"
So you hit up your A&R and play your card to finesse you a payment
But he say you spent all your budget on beats
And recordin' arrangements
And lake trips and planе tickets
I'm thinkin' "Okay, well don't take it from Sony
I know I ain't famous
But you hеar my son in the background,
He screamin', and you know what his name is
That's Cairo my baby, my little baby boy,
That's my angel, I swear I'll get dangerous"
I was thinkin' about hittin' the Riverdale street with the heat
Leavin' somebody brainless
Then I thought bout how that would destroy the whole testimony
I been out here proclaimin' claimin' yeeaaahh
I lost hope that night
Thought bout clutchin' a 4-4 that night
Really thought bout sellin' dope that night
Then naturally I got to thinkin' bout who I could blame then
I looked over to my wife and told her it was over, she was in the way
Then I came then I went, I came
Then I went again and filed for divorce
She could see my heart turned cold, no ounce of remorse
I was smilin' in court
Then I got on social media to tell the world
And announce the report
I made it seem like I just made it out of a horrible challengin' war
And they celebrated me for it
But pound for pound, she held me down since I was a child
Goin off the deep end
My daddy put me out the house yellin' down the street
Callin' me a demon
I was like "Okay no problem, I'mma hit the street
And be straight in a week then"
She was there to pick lil' Monty up and give the boy a bed
That he could sleep in
Now I've been feelin' like a
I've been feelin' like a weak dad
I done turn in to a "here some money,
So can I see my kids once or twice a week?" dad
Wish I could be a complete dad
Really wish I could be a Beleaf dad
Really wish I could be at the games,

I was screaming "Free me from my marriage and free me from Sony!"
I was screaming "Free me from my pastor!"
Swear sometimes I think he think he can control me
Then I realized God had paired me up with all these people
Just to see if he could grow me
Cuz blamin' everybody else was gettin' old
Time to leave that game alone
Put that on Ginóbili
I was blamin Phil Thornton, Jeremy Castro, blamin' Gabby and Steve
I was blamin' Doc Watson, aww hell, I was blamin Adam and Eve
I learned to do it on my own, if you wanna bang
Homie, you can hang with me
But I know I'mma die alone, when it's my time to go
You can't share my grave with me
And when I get to heaven and my Lord and savior ask me
Where all my achievements at
None of y'all gonna be standin' by my side
Just for me to point a finger at
I cut everybody off on my path to freedom
Just to find that whole time
I was the only one I needed to be free from
So when everybody finally left I looked in the mirror
And I could only see me
I blamed myself for the first time
And that's when I finally saw the free me
Free me

"I guess I had to lose everything to find
The one thing that really mattered
You know the dangerous thing about never takin' responsibility
For what goes wrong is you never have a point of reference as to how
To make things go right
You can't grow like that
And I never would've made it through this season
Without my brother Todd
My mother and God
They held me down when I had nothing left"

Free me, free me, free me, free me
Free me, free me, free me, free me
Free me, free me, free me, free me
Free me, free me

Free me, free me, free me, free me
Free me, free me, free me, free me
Free me, free me, free me, free me
Free me, free me
