[Vanessa Williams:]
We will not bow down to, uh huh, racism
[SWV:]
We will not bow down to injustice
We will not bow down to exploitation
[Vanessa Williams & SWV:]
I'm gon' stand, I'm gon' stand
[Patra:]
(?) stand for free your mind and your soul
Half the story has never been told
(?) you got to demand what you want
And what we want is respect, right?
[Meshell NdegeOcello:]
Come and take a walk with me
Closer walk with thee
See what only I can see
[Patra:]
Sisters, check this
Watch this
[Mary J. Blige:]
Turn us loose, set us free from all the chains that bind me
[Zhane:]
Let us run in our own direction
[Chilli of TLC:]
Let us go, set us free from all this propaganda and lies
[T-Boz of TLC:]
That your people try to teach us
I know why you would like to bring us down
[Aaliyah:]
Because we have all the dirt on you
You try to tell us that our lives don't mean a damn
[Caron Wheeler:]
But we know so much better
So we're gonna take our freedom
CHORUS:
[Ad-libs: Mary J. Blige]
Freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind
[Ad-libs: T-Boz]
Freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spirit
[Pebbles:]
All this time you been tellin' us these lies
[Xscape:]
But now we finally figured out your game
[Missjones:]
You thought that we would never wise up
[Brownstone:]
But we showed you how a Black female can do her thing
[Karyn White:]
But still you continue to keep us oppressed
But no, we ain't goin' out like that
[Tanya Blount:]
All these lies and all this propaganda
You want us to take
We're gonna take out
CHORUS:
Freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spirit
Freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spirit
[Amel Larrieux:]
Freedom for my heart and my mind and
My freedom for my soul
[N'Dea Davenport:]
I see the fear in your eyes
Surprise!
Your cover's been blown
[Tanya Blount]
I know just who I am and what I wanna do
[Monica:]
I can make you run
Make you hide from all your ancestors' transgression
That you hold inside
[Queen Latifah:]
Sisters rising up and seeing that our time is here
We're taking back what's been ours for years
[Meshell NdegeOcello:]
Let the heaven of a sister embrace you
And praise some other gods
[Joi:]
All these lies and all this propaganda
You want us to take
We're gonna take out
VAMP: [En Vogue:]
Free, free, free, freedom
Freedom, ooooooooh BOP!
