So Free
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
Little kids with big sticks in projects
Prison systems inflict the poorest
Innocents, they ain't changed the laws yet
It's criminal to engage with force yet wars are so lawless
Got to be cautious
Policemen will cuff you so thoughtless
Whether it be the colour of your skin
Or the number of your trim
It's never from what's within
Together we're struggling
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
All of my tears are for you
And I don't know why
I don't know why
No one hears the truth
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
Lonely single mother trying to make it on her own
Nobody to love her, or to put her on her throne
She grows, beautiful queen you'll never know
How much I'm sorry for the men that came before
Beat up and raped, treat like a slave
He lost his way, you kept it brave
Give me your pain and we can both fly away
I don't want to see us so divided
I don't want to deal with all the violence
How we gonna heal if we keep silent?
Been going on for years
Through empires and kings
They don't want to teach us to be righteous
In school they're never teaching us the right things
Is the power worth the hate that's in your eyes kid?
I hope this place will change before I'm in a grave
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
All of my tears are for you
And I don't know why
I don't know why
No one hears the truth
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
Little kids with big sticks in projects
Prison systems inflict the poorest
Innocents, they ain't changed the laws yet
It's criminal to engage with force yet wars are so lawless
Got to be cautious
Policemen will cuff you so thoughtless
Whether it be the colour of your skin
Or the number of your trim
It's never from what's within
Together we're struggling
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
All of my tears are for you
And I don't know why
I don't know why
No one hears the truth
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
Lonely single mother trying to make it on her own
Nobody to love her, or to put her on her throne

No one hears the truth
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
We can be so free
Why's it been so serious?
