Free People

[00:00.88] [Chorus - Sample (Freeway)]
[00:01.73] We are people, who've been tried through time (that's right)
[00:07.26] Rejected by society (not just black people but people in general)
[00:10.80] Left to wander deaf, dumb and blind (ya know)
[00:12.67] We know the depth of darkness, ignorance's shame (uh huh)
[00:16.28] A people lost without a name (Free)
[00:22.61] Without a name, ohhh, what a shame
[00:26.27] But now here we are ...
[00:29.10] [Verse 1 - Freeway]
[00:31.85] Yeah, this how it started, the beginning it was me alone
[00:34.55] It's '09, I look around, it's me alone
[00:37.25] Huh, no "Love Jones", No Nia Long
[00:39.07] And my kids still askin "are we there yet?
[00:42.87] Did we make it to the top dad?"
[00:44.64] "My bad
[00:45.57] We just made it to the middle, gettin paid a little
[00:48.27] So you know what that means, y'all could play a little
[00:50.98] But I still gotta work a lot, close the locks"
[00:53.63] Niggaz see me on the tube, they think I'm worth a lot
[00:56.33] And if they try to take y'all, I'm gonna murk the block
[00:59.08] Pull out and squirt the block, hurt the block
[01:01.86] I don't care if I alert the cops, call the S.W.A.T.
[01:04.52] When I blast, bodies drop like Pilates class
[01:07.27] Throw on the mask, then I palm the glock
[01:10.02] If y'all niggaz try to hide, I'm a find ya ass
[01:12.76] [Chorus - Sample (Freeway)]
[01:13.60] We are people, who've been tried through time
[01:18.17] Rejected by society (I'm tempted)
[01:20.93] Left to wander deaf, dumb and blind (know what I mean)
[01:23.76] We know the depth of darkness, ignorance's shame
[01:28.26] (How I'm supposed to react?)
[01:29.11] A people lost without a name (uh huh)
[01:32.89] Without a name, ohh, what a shame
[01:39.23] But now here we are ...
[01:41.02] [Verse 2 - Freeway]
[01:43.87] Here we are, face to face, we didn't grow with no silver spoons
[01:48.42] Hopin to find, a strip we can grind on
[01:52.13] A connect we can rely on, my God
[01:54.84] Philly Freezer used to hustle on the block
[01:57.53] Listenin to songs on the tape deck before the iPod
[01:59.39] Yeah, some niggaz used to grind hard
[02:03.19] While other niggaz used to take checks
[02:06.89] Niggaz that grind had it out with the cops
[02:08.66] Niggaz that took checks, faced a quick death
[02:11.36] They was shootin out 'til not a clip left
[02:14.13] Wind up goin out in a box
[02:16.84] And I wind up rollin out in a box Porsche
[02:19.54] 'Lo sport from the shorts to the socks to the shirt
[02:23.12] Yeah, I'm gonna make this rap thing work, watch
[02:25.07] [Chorus - Sample (Freeway)]
[02:25.98] We are people (that's right), who've been tried through time
[02:29.50] (Trials and tribulations)
[02:31.45] Rejected by society
[02:34.10] Left to wander deaf, dumb and blind (just wakin up)
[02:35.97] We know the depth of darkness
[02:38.66] (Goin through your normal day is a trial)
[02:39.67] Ignorance's shame (it's all a test)
[02:41.48] A people lost (from God) without a name (you gotta find yourself)
[02:46.23] Without a name, ohh, what a shame (that's right)
[02:50.70] But now here we are ...
[02:54.73]
