I wanna live free
Free as I can be
I wanna fly to the sky
Like the bird I can be

I want peace
I want it ever so sweet
The sirens in my head
Choking me up like a knee

And for what
Is the money not enough
That y'all gotta take our lives
Now you know we fed up

And it's rough
But we gotta live up
Just to be broken down
By the land we trust

I wanna live free
Free as I can be
I wanna fly to the sky
Like the bird I can be

I want peace
I want it ever so sweet
The sirens in my head
Choking me up like a knee

And for what
Is the money not enough
That y'all gotta take our lives
Now you know we fed up

And it's rough
But we gotta live up
Just to be broken down
By the land we trust

Is it me
If I remember it correctly
It was yall that brought us here
That's why I'm speaking it directly
I don't want to be killed for my lyrics being reckless
And why
Cause' I know that y'all would do it for a checklist
And I
Wanna make sure that I see all my successes
When I
Get older I'ma always count my blessings
Cause' I know that I could be gone at any second
Why am I a target in a life
I did not question
Why am I profiled in a hood that I'm a guest in
I guess I fit descriptions so that means I get arrested
I'm not afraid
But I should and that's the lesson
Y'all should listen
So y'all can see just why we stressing
8 minutes and 46 seconds is all it took
For the whole world including y'all
To see that y'all are crooks
That's why we broke loose
All hell and now y'all shook
Wow
Dive deeper with me and let's take a look at how
Our government set us up to be looking down
Police don't give a
I'ma watch my mouth
All the hate inside your heart
I'ts like we shot y'all down
I guess my grey hood will just define me now
As a king
And a black man who wants to live free
Shouldn't have to be six feet for college degrees
Or I'ma be six feet if I go to the streets
Every direction got guns pointed at me
So all that I'm left with is to get on my knees
And pray to God I don't fall in the hands of a beam
And pray to God I don't fall in the land of the free
And pray that if I die He take my soul to keep
Now I'm writing this sincerely
All the people writing and fighting I love dearly
If you lost your life to the fight
Know you near me
We wanna live free and we wanna live it clearly

I wanna live free
Free as I can be
I wanna fly to the sky
Like the bird I can be

I want peace
I want it ever so sweet
The sirens in my head
Choking me up like a knee

And for what
Is the money not enough
That y'all gotta take our lives
Now you know we fed up

And it's rough
But we gotta live up
Just to be broken down
By the land we trust

I wanna live free
Free as I can be
I wanna fly to the sky
Like the bird I can be

I want peace
I want it ever so sweet
The sirens in my head
Choking me up like a knee

And for what
Is the money not enough
That y'all gotta take our lives
Now you know we fed up

And it's rough
But we gotta live up
Just to be broken down
By the land we trust
