Freedom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We will not bow down to racism
We will not bow down to injustice
We will not bow down to exploitation
I'm gon' stand, I'm gon' stand
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
Come and take a walk with me a closer walk
With thee see what only I can see
Sisters check this, watch this
Freedom....
Turn us down set us free
From all the chains that bind me
Let us run in our own direction
Let us go set us free
From all this propaganda and lies
That your people tried to teach us
I know why you would like to bring us down
Because we have all the dirt on you
You try to tell us that our lives don't mean a damn
But we know so much better so we're gonna
Take a free freedom
Chorus:
Freedom
Freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spirit
Freedom
Freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spirit
All this time you've been telling us these lies
But now we've finally figured out your game
You thought that we would never wise up
But we showed you how a black female can do her thing
But still you continue to keep us oppressed
But no we ain't going out like that (oh no no)
All these lies and all this propaganda
You want us to take
We're gonna take our
Chorus
I see the fear in your eyes surprised
Your cover's been blown
I know just who I am and what I wanna do
I can make you run
Make you hide from all your ancestors
Transgression that you hold inside
Sisters rising up and seeing that our time is here
We're taking back what's been ours for years
Let the heaven of a sister embrace you
And praise them other gods
All these lies and all this propaganda
That you want us to take
We're gonna take our
Free free free
