FREE (feat. Aysanabee, Drezus & Chief Rueben George)

My beloved relations, I stand here today

A voice for freedom, a call for healing

I prayed, oh, I prayed for freedom

From the ancestral pain, passed on through time

I asked for strength to forgive

To heal the scars, both yours and mine

I found freedom, my people

In the breath of our lands, in the strength of our spirit

But the battle ain't over, no, no

The shadows of colonialism, they still linger

Hurting, taking, breaking

But we stand tall, unbroken

We are free, my relatives!

We are free, my people!

We are free!

I just wanna be free

I just wanna be free

I just wanna be free

Creator, help me please

I just wanna be free, free from my own feelings

Free from wounds, the healing, hurt more than wounds, you feel me?

This therapy bringing me clarity, cold brew in my blood stream

Got fam who turned to dope fiends, don't chase shots, I chase dreams

I just wanna be free, free as one can be

Free from me versus me, all the shit that no one sees

Oh, Creator help me, please, don't bring me down to my knees

I just wanna be free, I just wanna be free

Won't you set me free?

Creator, please

Whoa, and bring me peace

Won't you set me free? (Won't you set me free?)

Creator, please (Creator, please)

Won't you set me free? (Won't you set me free?)

And bring me peace

I'on want shit for free, I just wanna be seen

I just want you to feel what it feel like to be like me

I got riders with me, they ride or die, freedom writers make you feel alive

Send prayers up in prayer ties, my brown eyes tell no lies

Lil' baby boy, you worth it, baby girl, you worth it

We make mistakes, when the stakes are high, ain't none of us here been perfect

Oh, Creator, help me please, don't bring me down to my knees

I just wanna be free, yeah, I just wanna be free, yeah

I'm free, I'm free, I'm free

Tobacco down, we splash 'em, prayers up with a passion

The sweat man told me, "Nagamo, go and bless the world with your magic"

My last song made the earth cry, for the first time, I felt power

My rattle shake make the earth quake, shouldn't have to die for my flowers

I'm free to learn my language and pass that to my babies

Miigwetch gitchi manitou, please free us up from these cages

Creator, help me please, don't bring me down to my knees

I just wanna be free, yeah, I just wanna be free, yeah

Our ancestors wisdom, our guiding light

We see the wrongs, we're ready to fight

For our lands, our waters, our future bright

We're warriors, united, with all of our might

We're breaking free from the pain

Seeing clear the cause of our chains

With the power of who we are

Proud, strong, reaching far

We're rising, my family, beyond the scars

Defending, protecting, healing our hearts

Together, we're writing a new start

We are resilient, we are free

A people united, forever we'll be

We are free, my people

We are free, my relations

We are free!
