[Intro] Birth The starting of a n***a's place Brought up in a land Where ain't no motherf**ing rules And n***as always dying from nothing So sometimes in this society you gotta do f**ed up sh** In order to be in a groove, serving You know what I'm saying But something in the back of my mind is like Is like keep telling me You know you gonna pay, Kokane For the bad sh** and evil sh** you did to people Maybe it might be a year from now Maybe two years But whenever it is I gotta pay for that type of sh** You know what I'm saying [Chorus] Cause Some day I feel like my day is coming Won't you free my mind Free my mind Free my mind Some day I feel like my day is coming Please free my mind Free my mind Free my mind [Verse 1] Yeah, the setting Just a beat with a bump Say let me call on me back to the year '71 My momma's in the delivery room Waiting to push a motherf**ing menace out her womb Now, I didn't know what poverty was I was a decent little kid At 12 I got my first buzz I'm criminal free and un-wicked But I can kick it Even though I didn't stick it, wait Cause when you supressed ya start to think And like all black folks we always end up hatin' Now I'm waitin' for a section 8, the section ain't For there's never too soon and it's always to late Now I'm beat breaking I call it pop locking but the sh** is playing up So I start to ruck it That great love flow through ya mind Money keeps flowing Flowing all the time Yeah I'm a big talking sh** for an adolecence Slayers go floss a game and I didn't have no shame Looking back on my life I give myself sum dap Cause I k** more n***as than a concentration camp And f** more b**hes than new kids on the block But something in the back of my mind is like Stop [Chorus] [Verse 2] Release the tension Now release the pain Cause my surgeon general told me to wear my cap in the rain Now everybody wants to be known But they don't know where the future came from Yeah Cause everyone I envy all of a sudden pick up a fever And they shooting down people like a hunter in duck season But I don't dwell on it And if I had to play it like poker I wouldn't fold on it Panties on my pager, panties won't quit Some show me love But some be on a mission Out to give me some I can't get rid of, b**h Maybe I'm the flavor of the month you adore Or maybe my royalty checks are bigger than the year before Now it's Kokane this and Kokane that b**hes all in my mix cause a n***a Got my mega phone sack Chronic sack Give a b**h a hit Cause motherf**ing Kokane makes the fly sh** Now Lynn wants to know I got paid But I overheard that she goes both ways Or should I say A 'f** it' or B 'don't wear a jimmy' Playing craps on my life I might have something in me But the j.d's control my inner thinking No but I can still catch the fever If the p**y ain't stinking [Outro] Some day I feel like my day is coming Won't you free my mind Free my mind Free my mind
