Brother Ali - Freedom Ain't Free (album) lyrics

(Hook) Ain't no where to run to There ain't nothing here for free (Verse 1) If I don't like my life I gut it and rebuild it f** it, keep nothing but God and my children I k** the devil wherever he resides Even if he hiding in me he got to die I k**ed little Jason he was only fifteen Sewed his good traits together, made Ali Filled his lungs with the Koran until he breathe Let him walk but kept him on a short leash Here he stand now, seventeen year old man-child Ain't ask nobody for a muh-f**in' hand out He trying to carry heaven on his back Jumped the broom with a stranger, he ain't never look back What he know about how the world spin? Bless his heart he a virgin, never even had a girlfriend Want to be a man so bad that he can taste it His family fell apart and he's tryin' to replace it You'll find in him a heart that is second to none But I know old soul that his lessons ain't done so I stand willing to k** him again If to grow he got to shed his skin then let it be done (Chorus/Hook) Ain't no where to run to There ain't nothing here for free See what I see and know that freedom ain't free lord Ain't no where to run to There ain't nothing here for free You'll see what I see and know that freedom ain't free (Verse 2) One half of all the two-leggeds on the scene are too timid to dream 'cause failure is far too depressing it would seem So they take what's given That's your decision, I just don't consider that livin' sh**, if I'mma die whether or not I try I might as well let the dice fly I'm hot knife through bu*ter in the night sky It shouldn't take a genius to see this hunger in my eye So I use blood and sweat to bu*ter my bread 'cause this cold world couldn't give a f** if I'm fed I ain't curled up in my bed If I don't set the world ablaze trust it ain't 'cause of nothing I did Listen, I don't think God's obligated to touch you If your a** would rather live in sh** than work a shovel I refuse to let the sun set on me again 'til the end I'm a one man army, friend (Chorus/Hook) Ain't no where to run to There ain't nothing here for free See what I see and know that freedom ain't free lord Ain't no where to run to There ain't nothing here for free You'll see what I see and know that freedom ain't free Ain't no where to run to There ain't nothing here for free See what I see and know that freedom ain't free lord Ain't no where to run to There ain't nothing here for free
