Freedom (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder

Tell the storm I'm new

I'ma walk, I'ma march on the regular

Painting white flags blue

Lord, forgive me, I've been running

Running blind in truth

I'ma rain, I'ma reign on this bitter love

Tell the sweet I'm new

I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away," oh

May the last one burn into flames

Freedom, freedom, I can't move

Freedom, cut me loose (Yeah)

Freedom, freedom, where are you?

'Cause I need freedom too

I break chains all by myself

Won't let my freedom rot in Hell, hey

I'ma keep running 'cause a winner don't quit on themselves

I'ma wade, I'ma wave through the waters

Tell the tide, "Don't move"

I'ma riot, I'ma riot through your borders

Call me bulletproof

Lord, forgive me, I've been running

Running blind in truth

I'ma wade, I'ma wave through your shallow love

Tell the deep I'm new

I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away," oh

May the last one burn into flames

Freedom, freedom, I can't move

Freedom, cut me loose, yeah

Freedom, freedom, where are you?

'Cause I need freedom too

I break chains all by myself

Won't let my freedom rot in Hell, hey

I'ma keep running 'cause a winner don't quit on themselves

Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practice (One, two)

Channel 9 News tell me I'm moving backwards (A-cha-cha)

Eight blocks left, death is around the corner (Ah)

Seven misleading statements by my persona (Uh-woo)

Six headlights waving in my direction (Come on)

Five-O asking me what's in my possession, yeah

I keep running, jumping the aquaducts, fire hydrants and hazardous

Smoke alarms on the back of us

But Mama, don't cry for me, ride for me

Try for me, live for me, breathe for me, sing for me

Honestly guiding me, I can be more than I gotta be

Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy

Cold on me driving me wicked

My spirit inspire me like, yeah

Open correctional gates in higher desert (Yeah)

Open our mind as we cast away oppression (Yeah)

Open the streets and watch our beliefs

And when they carve my name inside the concrete, I pray it forever reads

Freedom, freedom, I can't move

Freedom, cut me loose (Yeah)

Freedom, freedom, where are you?

'Cause I need freedom too

I break chains all by myself

Won't let my freedom rot in Hell, hey

I'ma keep running 'cause a winner don't quit on themselves

Huh! What you want from me? Is it truth you seek? Uh

Oh, Father, can you hear me?

Huh! What you want from me? Is it truth you seek? Uh

Oh, Father, can you hear me?

Hear me? Oh
