Land of the Free

I eat and breath just like you I even bleed just like you I'm just like you I got my own fam just like you And I'll Do anything I can for em just like you I mean I know We all want the same for our kids A future that is better than the life that we lived Praying to a higher power hoping something would give Not knowing if it even exists Yea I'm just like you But I didn't grow just like you So I don't know just like you I was never taught to read how can I succeed just like you I wish that I could dream just like you I know it's crazy but It's easy to see you don't have to agree When you dig into the roots we all apart of the tree The only difference in you and the person in me Is I ain't from the land of the free just like you Land of the free Land of the free Imagine everything I could be If I was only from the land of the free Land of the free Land of the free Imagine everything I could be If I was only from the land of the free I hear a lot of y'all are upset there Saying we dont have the right to step there But if everything was fine where we are then nah We wouldn't all be dying tryna get there You hear the stories and what they say You see the photos and look away They're picking our bodies up everyday Tryna make it to the land of free We've been deprived of our peace Ain't no food for a feast Been no sleep since the gangs over ran the police They raping all of the women kidnapping kids in the street They shut down all the schools so there ain't no one to teach They tell me I gotta join or I'll be dead in a week It's nothing I can avoid cuz they gon' mark me as weak I got a daughter that's 2 and I don't want her to see This side of life I just wish she could be From the land of the free Land of the free Land of the free Imagine everything she could be If she was only from the land of the free Land of the free Land of the free Imagine everything she could be If she was only from the land of the free Theres a lil me in all of us Cant Imagine how scared my daughter was A thousand miles to border was the distance so for instance we were walking from New Jersey to Florida That's a long way ain't it Yea I know Imagine not being able to use the road Cuz the second that your spotted your cover forever blown And that's the moment your whole family is gone It's not a game More than tired Delusion is creeping into my brain Carrying my kid cuz she weak from the hunger pains But we would of already been dead if we woulda stayed So I'd rather risk it all tryna make it another day And i don't know what's in store But we gon' make it for sure Even if i gotta swim us to shore by any means I refuse to sit back and be a victim of war I'll break my back to give my family more You tryna tell me If the place you call home wasn't safe anymore And your country didn't have any law With no future for your kids while y'all sat there starving and poor You wouldn't die tryna make it across? Just like me? For the land of the free Land of the free Land of the free Imagine everything that we'd be If we'd of made it to the land of the free Land of the free Land of the free Imagine everything that we'd be If we'd of made it to the land of the free
