 Struggling with Liberty? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I have a dream, that one day on the red hills of Georgia
The sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners
Will they be able to sit down at the table of brotherhood?
I have a dream, I have a dream

So apparently we in the land of liberty
Well let me tell you bout what this country did to me
Put a nigga through a lot of fucking misery
Put a whitewash on a colored people's history
Put a veteran and his belongings on the street
PTSD. and he's longing for a little heat
Someone who's killed and died so we have food to eat
How the machine treats a patriot with no grief
The government says they own us but with no receipt
But they quick to get a warrant or a felony
These police love to put a black man on his knees
Rats don't like to see a nigga with the cheese
The first maps were drawn up by the blacks
But these white historians don't wanna acknowledge that
They try to keep us in the dark in a nigga trap
In a ghetto mindset but we ain't having that
My millenials are getting quick hip to the facts
Real niggas scribe philosophy on vinyl wax
Transmitting knowledge of a new world history
It's time to free yourself and bring about the liberty
It's time to free yourself and bring about the liberty
No more waiting for white Jesus to deliver me
Politicians rob the world with no immunity 
So join the band fight back for the community

Liberty
He ain't got it I ain't get it
Liberty
Haven't felt it, have you seen it?
Liberty
I don't know it am I trippin?
Liberty
But you ain't special, we ain't different
Liberty

You snatch us out of Africa like little thieves
How we endured those boat rides I cannot conceive
So many people went along with it, can you believe?
Tried to deceive us every step but we still achieve 
To reach new heights got up off your plantation
To define arts and culture for an entire nation
Now correlation does not imply causation
Cause we ain't see no niggas, on the news station
Don't let a nigga in on the important decision making
Trump got less votes but they still faking
Y'all wanna pretend that Agent Orange is president?
That's an alternative fact, my truth is self-evident
A little hesitant, to take that leap of faith
False sense of security in the workplace
A suitcase full of meds it's a disgrace
Album called Oceanside cause it's my birthplace
They turned a baby to a killa nigga Ghostface
They boutta drop a nuke on the whole damn place
A whole city vanished from the Earth, not a trace
Ain't no room for peace in the arms race
I need a lot of homies and I need a lot of tree
Only way to survive in the land of liberty
Black man don't want to be another statistic
But y'all got me going ballistic 

Liberty
He ain't got it I ain't get it
Liberty
Haven't felt it, have you seen it?
Liberty
I don't know it am I trippin?
Liberty
But you ain't special, we ain't different
Liberty

But I'ma still kick push and I'ma still ride
Still striving to be great nigga full of pride
I'ma show up mad late colored people time
Afro melanin, nigga still shine
Everybody telling me how they think I should sound
But I've been living free since I was on the playground
The fairground at Del Mar taught me many lessons
Like how they quickly judge a nigga based on how I'm dressing
A bit depressing cause I really thought we was progressing
The fact that I'm alive and not in prison is a blessing
I'm never stressing about how much paper that I got
Stay connected with the roots like Black Thought
What does it matter to have your name up in the marquee
Without liberty, can't you see no ones free
Still a slave to the ghetto and a food stamp
Next phase is the trains and the death camp
What does it matter when the first lady is a tramp
Order apologies like prepaid stamps
You told me Alex "I'm so sorry I missed your last show"
Well apologize to innocent niggas on death row
Everybody tryna flaunt, I keep it minimal
Yet I'm still profile, like a criminal
I'm only here cause I puff on the tree
And I fight for liberty for my fucking family

Liberty
He ain't got it I ain't get it
Liberty
Haven't felt it, have you seen it?
Liberty
I don't know it am I trippin?
Liberty
But you ain't special, we ain't different
Liberty
He ain't got it I ain't get it
Liberty
