What does freedom really mean
They made doctor King eat bullet for his dreams
Malcolm X's friends was the last thing that he seen
Praise the all mighty dollar, nigga cash is king
Blood price, we pay by the liter
We pay wit our visa, we pay wit our leaders
We take witta Nina ungh mask on look like skiing ungh
F*ck being preachers bruh we wanna fill the bleachers up
Even when we speaking up all we talk is revolution
And we don't do shit, all our talk do revolutions
It won't be televised but you might could YouTube it
Streamed in 4K for a better resolution
Make sure that thumbnail right, watch how you frame it tho
They might be nice enough to put you on a cable show
Yo name onna graphic isn't that awesome
Another nigga put here to argue with Tucker Carlson

Freedom is a word that I don't really understand
Because it doesn't apply if you have melanin
If you have tinted skin then the deck is stacked against
Everything you do before you bloody begin

But I'm just one person though (Woah, Woah)
And I'm working hard to be the change I wanna see
But I'm just a nigga though (Woah, Woah)
I don't know if I can do it but I'll work hard just to prove
That I'm a person though (Woah, Woah)
And I'm working hard to be the change I wanna see
But I'm just a nigga though (Woah, Woah)
I don't know if I can do it but I'll work hard just to prove that I exist...

Now they ain't going to like me saying this
Like thoughts and prayers to atheists
But while I'm here it's clear I must hold a mirror to crazy shit
Think of it, we were the OG man in the motherland
Ran the world, til they interrupted with they slavery ships
Frankly it's as if we've been denied our writ of habeas
Centuries later they still illegally detaining us
Wonder what's under there, what's making them so afraid of us
Must be that nig-tophobia, they painting us as dangerous
That means they scared of the dark, but not of stealing our art
They even scared of our babies, they killed Tamir in the park
With no regard for their law, and all this shit that I talk
I know they coming for me, just waiting for em to knock
And when they knock imma be waiting on the other side cocked back
Ready to knock back like f*ck that, this is combat
This the war you declared, we ain't choose to be here
But damn sure we ain't scared, w ain't going nowhere, no backing down, no retreat
Got a problem with we, let's resolve in the streets
For me and my nigs this is how it's meant to be, so you can skip the trial, the judge, and the key

Freedom is a word that I don't really understand
Because it doesn't apply if you have melanin
If you have tinted skin then the deck is stacked against
Everything you do before you bloody begin

But I'm just one person though (Woah, Woah)
And I'm working hard to be the change I wanna see
But I'm just a nigga though (Woah, Woah)
I don't know if I can do it but I'll work hard just to prove
That I'm a person though (Woah, Woah)
And I'm working hard to be the change I wanna see
But I'm just a nigga though (Woah, Woah)
I don't know if I can do it but I'll work hard just to prove that I exist...

I'll be the level 99, rogue enemy of the state
I'm getting what's mine, I'm handling my own fate
Marching with my drum line, we kicking 11/8
All across the milky way, (Aye!), we regenerate (Aye, aye!)
The revolution to live free or die saying
I'm putting both my hearts into this, I'm so Galyfraian
While they're displaying false idols on top of where they're layin
Mass Graves full of these false martyrs, they're Kool-aid drinking
The gestapo is poaching niggas simply for stating
That they're drinking green tea, nutritionally meditating
We're assimilating going ham to making bacon
We see the world in new dimensions that we're still creating
So if they catch me, I know what torture I'm gon' face
Waterboard me with Kool-aid, they'll waterboard me with that Kool-aid
A rebel with a cause I'll go underground, rogue one
El pueblo unido, unite the people til the war is won

Freedom is a word that I don't really understand
Because it doesn't apply if you have melanin
If you have tinted skin then the deck is stacked against
Everything you do before you bloody begin

But I'm just one person though (Woah, Woah)
And I'm working hard to be the change I wanna see
But I'm just a nigga though (Woah, Woah)
I don't know if I can do it but I'll work hard just to prove
That I'm a person though (Woah, Woah)
And I'm working hard to be the change I wanna see
But I'm just a nigga though (Woah, Woah)
I don't know if I can do it but I'll work hard just to prove that I exist
