Lyrics

Young, great and free
Young, great and free
Young, great and free
And we go run up and and we go run up
And we gon' take it, and we gone take all, oh Lord
Look, I've seen it all my life, I felt the way they pressed me
Mother raised me righteous, see the way she blessed me
In and outta bandos, never needed freebies
Shit don't come for free, we bill it till I own it
Treated like an enterprise
Organised most undermined an activе mind
My killy that brother, we make shit happеn
That killy, she my sister, 'cah she strong minded
Humble till they push you so you keep glidin'
You ain't sold your spirit, 'cah your hearts wildin'
Wild, strong, free, I love the taste of freedom
If say I love you, know you motivate me
Older than the past, my people coming strong now
Evolving from the belly, we can take the hunger
Writing history, what's deep, we never chased it
I say we writing history, what's deep, we never chose it
Young, great and free
Young, great and free
Young, great and free
And we go run up and and we go run up
And we gon' take it, and we gon' take all, oh Lord
I have never seen myself for a while, appalling
Dealing with death had me moving brazy
Dealing with the trial really had me faded
Sippin' lean everyday, I wonder why they push me
Wonder to myself will death give me more peace (Yeah-yeah)
Defending our lives, that's why we ever bought pieces
'Cah if I lack, it gon' tear ma to pieces
Blaze on my back tryna tear me to pieces
Tell 'em, when they bury me that I don't need a casket
Try and box me all my life and I'm still free and grounded
I force a way to grow, I stand for nothin' less
Young, wild, free, I stand for nothin' less
Look, we call these battle scars
I couldn't even figure out how to love myself
The moths hate the shine and they ain't trapped in darkness
Every day I'm blessed to learn to walk with equal chances
Young, great and free (Young, we walk with equal chances)
Young, great and free (We walk with equal chances, and free)
Young, great and free (Still free and grounded)
And we go run up and and we go run up
And we gon' take it, and we gon' take all, oh lLord
I remember them days
Diamonds from the dirt, when they sing, they gon' sound like
I remember them days
Diamonds from the dirt, when they cry, they gon' sound like
They are still fighting today (Diamonds from the dirt)
They are still fighting today (Still fighting, today)
