Freedom Isn’t Free (Yeah yeah) Ohh freedom (Yeah we going back old school) Isn’t Free I go by the name of Mc Rafiki Mike check 1,2,3 Yeah Check it I’m back and I’m better Better than ever Sweeter the juice My berry is Black I’m darker than ever Melanin drip-drip Chocolate rain for the weather Whether you like it or not Say cheese For the cheddar Money making motivated Nigga On the block Like Nas The king Giving this rap thing all he got Dropped out of school now he’s trying to go platinum Sleeping on his homies couch Working on his album And the rent is past due But he gone get the bag soon Blow it on some chains and Some unimportant accolades How could you blame him? Fatherless He grew up in the streets Didn’t wanna be a Screw up Lost his brother from a Shoot-out Only got his momma left And right outside is the IRS Coming for a nigga Only got a nickel Left but turned it into a dime Did 10 years federal Completely Lost his mind The rhyme became a grind And now it’s time to outshine The best to ever do it Glory to God for the joy that got him through it Yeah Yeah Hey Mistarafiki Let me tell them something real quick Dondada So we talking about freedom whatchu know about it What’s your angle on it Whatchu thinking should be done about it? I just think it’s funny how in grade school we all learned about it Just to find several years later We still fight about it Ain’t Nothing new under the sun I live in a nation that would rather think My cellphone is a Gun Then come say what’s done is done Lord protect me You know good and well I’m my momma’s only son I know I’m a chosen one My aspirations go further than Run nigga run Slick with words I’m quick to learn Slow to discern whether or not A topic’s my concern Always black and always proud That don’t mean loud but if I wanted to be That should be allowed Melanin popping Especially when that sun hits Catch me on Snapchat No filter cause that glow's lit But being black is an extreme sport in my area They try to kill a nigga faster than malaria They causing mass hysteria Insert unknown bacteria It’s Genocide out here Hi welcome to my America They won’t succeed I do believe that we the chosen people God got our backs I pray one day to see us all as Equals Black lives matter Black lives matter Black lives matter I live in a country that wasn’t designed for me It isn’t benign to me It's in my bloodline you see We were brought to this country Not to succeed Not to learn how to read Especially not to exceed The qualifications of the white man Not to lead or be Freed Instead to bleed, for their need To bring up to speed Their beloved economy for it to prosper indeed At the cost of a human being because I’m 3/5ths of one Right? So technically You’ve done no wrong because I’m not full human Right? With no human whites Oh wait, I’m sorry I meant Human rights... I'm frowned upon And looked down on Because of my Skin Pigment. Its no figment of imagination To see my rights all have a limit I can be smart, even Brilliant But have to be much more resilient Because that assistant job I should’ve had They gave to that one civilian You know The one whose dad is CEO and never had to fight for nothing Meanwhile, you fought for nothing but see Nothing is my middle name I look back I was at the bottom, I see how far I don came Not far enough He got the job tells me it’s all just a game That I can get every degree But it’ll just be to frame That my skin Is to blame For my high qualification yet You not calling my name You ever been so aggravated And felt so humiliated? Felt so far isolated But can’t do a thing about it? Powerless at its best Which leads to him being depressed But then he’s told “Get over it” You still got bills to pay What rest? Live your whole life in one place They still treat you like a guest You ever stared death in the face and just been told to “Be strong” Heart clogged up in your throat Is he going to squeeze Or move along? To those that say “F the police” Don’t you dare say they’re wrong You try living your whole life somewhere You still don’t belong Why is the likelihood of a black man getting arrested so high You telling me for “Fitting the profile” I could easily Die? How you call yourself a Christian yet Let my skin bother you? Everyone loves those like them because It’s easy to love those like you Being a Christian means Loving thy neighbor Sometimes your neighbor Don’t look just like you Look up your facts Jesus was black So let me guess You're going to hate Jesus too? Why not find beauty in the difference Instead You let hate fill the void You can’t succeed, much less thrive If unity is destroyed Freedom Isn’t Free
