Freedom
Considered myself a novice
According to the view of the optics
Just naive
Couldn't really see
All the gifts that's within me
Something clicked and said "stop this"
Everything I knew to be true
Come to find out, it was a ruse
To be honest, it was tragic
I was always Black magic
Free at last, just imagine
Stick and stones, they may break the bones
But some words hurt the same
Just to let you know
I was beaten down
Had to build me up
I believe in me
That's damn right
Now my story
Reads so bright
I was in a battle for some time
Now I can say that happiness is mine
It was I vs. me
Then him vs. he
Now we calling it freedom
Always trying to keep my spirit safe
Now the darkness done washed away
No more pressure on me
I fought for my peace
What you see now is freedom
Basically I've fought with myself
Placing all I needed on the shelf
Such a shame
Now you better know my name
First name starting with a C
Last name straight from Poppa J
I look around to see what could be my next move
I talk to God and He said "I knew you'd make it through"
I reply...
Thank you, thank you
Stick and stones, they may break the bones
But some words hurt the same
Just to let you know
I was beaten down
Had to build me up
I believe in me
That's damn right
Now my story
Reads so bright
I was in a battle for some time
Now I can say that happiness is mine
No more pressure on me
I fought for my peace
What you see now is freedom
I know we here looking back at what we been through
No success in taking the best out of you
So when you see a sunrise
He's shining His light
To tell you that it's your time
I was in a battle for some time
Now I can say that happiness is mine
It was I vs. me
Then him vs. he
Now we calling it freedom
Always trying to keep my spirit safe
Now the darkness done washed away
No more pressure on me
I fought for my peace
What you see now is freedom
According to the view of the optics
Just naive
Couldn't really see
All the gifts that's within me
Something clicked and said "stop this"
Everything I knew to be true
Come to find out, it was a ruse
