Queen Latifah - Freedom (Theme from Panther) (Dallas' Dirty Half Dozen Mix) lyrics

[Patra] Now this is time for free your mind and your soul Yo, half the story has never been told Ladies, you got to demand what you want And what we want is respect, right? Yo, listen up on the track here so I can feel if it rides Freedom everytime for the sisters Check this, watch this [Queen Latifah] Now here we go now... Listen, if, um, pum pum ruled, I'd be the ruler like Slick Rick Get with this quick witted Adidas wearing chick Papa got a brand new bag, Mama got a brand new Jag A gold tag, I ain't no old hag I represent not only in the kitchen and the bedroom But also in the boardroom so give me more room Deny my opportunity, you in jeopardy Yo, yo, set me free, don't hinder me, let me be [Yo-Yo] I'm fightin' for freedom, I got the heat in case you need I'm a straight soldier, ain't nobody told ya? Hold up on them lies, I know your games and your plans Do whatever you can to oppress The Man But when it's time to drop the bomb bring the funkiness on You say you never met a sister so strong, you're wrong Now how can we be free? It takes you and it takes me to live together in harmony And peace and love and all of the above Sisters comin' together representing one love No disrespect, but we gotta get it together No matter what's the weather, sisters gotta stick together And sisters be strong, don't let 'em steer you wrong, hold on Cause sisters got it goin' on, yeah [Left Eye] Whoever said these are the things that you can do And the things you ain't supposed to? So am I further when I think I'm getting closer? That's when I tend to think of Rosa How Rosa took a seat to make a stand But now, in standing, we've gotten more demanding They never thought in planning That a wish for us to sit would be a dose of this f**ing rollercoaster Whether tradition or religion, why you question my decision? Why you spend up all your time trying to get into my mind? How everybody and their mama Gots to add to all my drama, mad drama Hell if I'm gonna keep my dominating, feministic Hell-creating CrazySexyCool, Black a** In the palms of your player-hater's stance My only chance of being free is to fly within me And it's illegal to k** a f**in' eagle A bird is never more important than my people I guess we didn't need him so I took away his freedom [MC Lyte] My spiritual awareness leads me to believe That you're doubting the sisters to come with the peace We've been together since Jah created water The African border, celebration is in order Pop the cork and give champagne to the stork That brought the Lyte to my Mama in New York African I come again + again You kick me down, I get back up I'm comin back in multiples of 10 [Nefertiti] You know where I come from Slung from the belly of the beast Used to speak African tongue So I showed her, next one rolled her Slung the devil over my shoulder I'm gettin' over 'cuz I'm bolder than the next I'm enlightening because I speak the real truth from the text Who's next to flex with this S-I-S-T-E-R? The sun, the moon, the crescent, the star Well let's see how open you are [Me'Shell NdegéOcello] Come and take a walk with me Closer walk with thee, see what only I can see Nobody knows the trouble I've seen So it's back to the womb of everlasting life and truth Let the heaven of a sister embrace you And praise some other gods Come into the light, let it shine, Blackness is fine The Blackness of your skin, the Blackness of your mind [Salt-N-Pepa] I am who I am and that's who I be And I don't give a damn if your eyes can't see If you can't see what I can see That you're blind, baby, by a woman who's Black So back up, back up, cause it's on I'm-a tell ya strong what's wrong With the world that we're living on It ain't who ya know, it ain't what ya drive It's about how you feel about yourself on the inside When your self-esteem is low And they call you a ho, then you think you's a ho But that ain't what the Lord God made you to be I need you to see you're Black and you're free
