Freedom Lyrics by Wyclef Jean
(Feat. Joyous Celebration)
I’m branding on my body
I’m rocking all these chains
Spent it all on the whip
I’m talking through bars again
We look for validation
Through likes and acclamation
Where fear can hold dominion
We’re all slaves to opinion
Freedom
You’re sure this is freedom?
Freedom
You’re sure this is freedom?
You got to love you yourself and I
Through the tats I see the tears
Though the heartaches in your eyes
Beauty makes it disappear
Feeling like we racing time
Running but we standing still
On the treadmill we call life
Chasing paper till we die
Freedom
You’re sure this is freedom?
Freedom
You’re sure this is freedom?
Before you love somebody
You got to love your body
I wish that you could see you
In just the same way I do
listen everybody
Tell me how can you hear you
What’s hard to get
It’s easy to lose
Pass that storm we survive
Ring that bell we’re alive
10% pay your tithes
Freedom comes when we die
And I had to climb the highest mountain
Just to reach the stars
And I had to fight with Satan
Just to get to God
And I had to spread the bet
Just to beat the odds
Go ahead and roll that camera
I’ma play my part
Freedom
Check this out
Check this out
Freedom
You’re sure this is freedom?
Freedom
You’re sure this is freedom?
Freedom
You’re sure this is freedom?
Freedom
You’re sure this is freedom?
