TLC - Freedom (dallas' Dirty Half Dozen Mix) lyrics

Various artists & tlc (appears on the panther soundtrack) Now this is time for free your mind and your soul Yo our official 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 Cuz you'll also have to deal with it right Freedom every time for the sisters Check this watch this A here we go now Listen if i'm poompa moo I'll be the ruler like slick rick Get with this quick witted Adidas-wearing chick Poppa got a brand new bag Momma got a brand new jag A gold tag i ain't no old hag I represent not only in the kitchen And the bedroom room But also in the board room So give me more room Deny my opportunity You in jeopardy Yo-yo set me free Don't hinder me Let me be My fightin' for freedom I got the heat in case you need 'em I'm a straight soldier Ain't nobody told you Hold up on them lies I know your games and your plans Do whatever you can to oppress demand But when it's time to drop the bomb Bring the funk and it's 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 blend together in harmony And peace and love and all of the above Sisters coming together representing one love No disrespect but we gotta get it together No matter what's the weather Sisters gotta stick together If sisters be stronger Don't let 'em steer you wrong Hold on cuz sisters got it going on Yeah Chorus: Let's free your mind and your soul Don't let no guys go and take control Because you're young and a you play the role And our official story has never been told 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 was it 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 Why everybody and they mama Gots to add to all my drama mad drama Hell if i'ma keep my dominating feministic hell Creating crazys**ycool black a** In the palms of your player hater's stands My only chance of being free is to fly within me And it's illegal to k** a f**ing eagle A bird is never more important than my people I guess we didn't need him so i took away his freedom Chorus My spiritual awareness leads me to believe That you doubt in the sisters That come with the peace we've been together Since god created all of thee African daughters celebration is in order Pop the cork and give the champagne to the stork That brought the lyte to my momma in new york African i come again and again You kick me down i get back up I'm coming back in multiples of ten You know where i come from Slung from the belly of the beast Used to speak african tongue So i showed her next one bolder Slung the devil over my shoulder I'm getting over cuz i'm bolder than the next I'm enlightened cuz 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 crest and the star Wanna see how open you are Chorus 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 them other gods Come into the light let it shine blackness is fine The blackness of your skin The blackness of your mind 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 bop I'm a woman who's black so back up back up Cuz it's on i'ma tell you strong what's wrong With the world that we're living on It ain't who you know it ain't what you 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 they 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 Chorus Chorus Chorus
