Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And when you spiral through the atmosphere, all they see is motion
They never see the tears, they never feel the pain
They always think it's nothing, but it's something, such a shame
So caught up in the fantasy
Humanity has made a love story out of tragedy
But there is no romance in life that's on the ledge
And there's no one to talk you down and tuck you in the bed
Lord, it's so ironic that it's funny
Or something for the books or the bars
To bob your head and nod
I recall so many never, ever thought you'd make it
So sad they were mistakin', the joy, they tried to take it
Mama said that the best thing you can do and be is you
This world ain't got but one, so give credit where it is due
Ain't that the truth? And here you are, a black unicorn
Mythical, mystical since the day that you were born
Mastered all the madness, let the magic have its way
Let the power paint the day, let the God has His say
'Cause there's a place that you can go, no one else is allowed
Sittin' up on your cloud, so high when you look down
Just glance upon the beauty and the wonder to be found
Then know that you can stop your search, 'cause love is all around
[Verse 2]
(Yeah) Free at last, free at last
That's what I said when I got out my last deal
Some people can't relate
Sleep is the cousin of death, that is some Nas shit
And when it's cold outside
So your pipes won't bust, turn on your faucets
Drip, fuck the water bill
We stay in apartments
And everything is a obstacle
When they watchin' you, the hospital need a hospital
Now they mockin' you, they say that flattery is sincere
I run like a **** younger than me by ten years
Yeah, and that's my car talkin'
Old school runnin' with the dogs barkin'
Hop out that bitch like I'm sellin' coffins
Weed so strong, I be seldom coughin'
And I'm covered in Balmain
Instagram pics of my lobster omelette
Sellin' that parkay, life ain't no arcade
Now I got more nines than the fourth grade
[Verse 3]
Freedom is all I really want
It's all I really want to be
It's all I really need
I want, I want, and I believe
You thought you had the best of me
But now I'm what you need, you need
Freedom
[Verse 4]
Hear ye, hear ye, you can't come near me
Competition best to fear me
Lyrically, I can be Talib Kweli
But with gold teeth, it'd be hard for some to believe
I leave them pussies stinkin', they need Summer's Eve
I practice repetition, I need a hunnid G's
A hunnid M's, hug and squeeze
Dad kept us in the dungarees, I'm not a rat, but I love the cheese
I change hoes like I change gears
And my yard so big, I got pet deers
And my homies try to act like I ain't real
I put my apron on and taught myself how to make meals
You need a focus group, my group focused
Hit them local jokers with the hocus pocus
I'm the dopest, you can quote this on the 'Scope
It's just me and go
Dirty ass ****, we'll sell your ass a key of soap
I done seen them rich, I done seen them broke
I done seen it all, watched a pregnant lady smoke
When the baby come out, he gon' be geeked
You never know, he might come out to be me
[Verse 5]
Freedom is all I really want
Is all I really want to be
It's all I really need
I want, I want and I believe
You thought you had the best of me
But now I'm what you need, you need
Freedom
[Verse 6]
Ooh, I love my family
Things are gonna be alright, yeah
Oh, I love my family
Everything's gonna be okay
Oh, I love my family so much
Everything's gonna be okay
And I love you so much
I love you so much
Everything's gonna be alright
I love you, alright
Oh, oh, I love you, okay
That's why I sing this song
I love you now
I love you, it's gonna be alright
