9th Wonder - Free lyrics

[Intro] People feelin' that. Oh man. One two one two. I smell somethin' cookin' Yeah yeah yeah. Okay, give us freedom. That's for real for real Turn it up a little more G. That means turn it up fool Yeah, this is it. Yeah yeah. 9th [Hook] I'm free To change the world to change the times I'm free To change my life to change my mind I'm free To have hope to have new ideas I'm free to live my life without the pressure of my peers I'm free To make a choice to take a chance I'm free To take my voice and make a stance I'm free And now I know why the caged bird sings I'm free to be me so let me do my thing I'm free [Verse One] Like a fresh out of county no bond Bout to get some Fatburger and go see my moms Like the health care need to be The fact that it ain't is just obscene to me Free is a state of mind a state to live Can't be selfish, people hate to give Love, worth more than gold But it's free and it's got to be part of soul Told, I was free 1863 That's until I got clipped by the LAPD Free to be oppressed for 400 years Free to leave this country free to stay right here To make a difference Free to make change Free to be normal while I'm free to be strange From every mountain top where they let freedom rang There was freedom in the songs that my ancestors sang [Hook] [Verse Two] Like I'm tax exempt Free to knock out gangstas and smack some pimps Cause I'm free to be a whole lot more than that Free to see the whole world and be more than black Free to be a plain ole human being I'm free to write songs about the wrongs I seen I'm free to make a buck at anyone's expense Do what it takes to make my rent But no act will ever be free of consequence It don't cost a dime to use your common sense It's Free like Will when I'm free to k** Anybody that try to knock... Let me chill I'm free from anger, I'm free from it When they grab a hold of me It's free I break I'm free to be a failure Free to be great And I'm free to be the one who decides my fate [Hook] [Verse Three] Like my style was in '93 Now there's a whole bunch of dudes tryin' to rhyme like me Work hard young man Homie grind like me And you can be whatever you wanna be Like the blood, like the love of Jesus Like the love that the Koran teaches Like space and the outer reaches Can't Arrest my Development I'm free like Speech is Like a genie Fresh out the bottle When these MCs is free not to be role models And me Well, I'm free to be one Free to fix a problem where ever I see one The government came to my hood with free guns Got us all scared, now I'm thinkin' I need one But I'm free from fear And if you already free then let me hear you say "YEAH!"
