Sipping on Caipirinhas with the Christ Redeemer
Thinking there's nothing more freeing than to swipe a Visa
If freedom really is financial, locking yachts in Ibiza
With lobster broth beneath ya, captain, what's the Costa Rica?
Ugh, still seas run deep
Alarm clocks kill dreams while our children sleep
This free country seems fuckery 'cause it's built on grief
And you can't roam free with your skin long bleached
This black makes me proud, this crown weighs me down
When your possessions got you trapped, you can't Waze it out
Deep clots I see underneath the shades and gowns
Can't take drip with you when you grace the ground
These days, lockdown will teach us, two metres
Me and my quarantiner ain't seen Gucci for months
And that's a weight off my shoulders for Beyoncé reasons
But four walls can't box me in, I'm a front hop leaper
What is freedom? This microphone for me
So I can flow and speak reason
No one's really free 'til opportunities are breathing
They try and kill the speech of our leaders
But this is for my Kings and Latifahs
This is for my Kings and Latifahs
This is for my Kings and Latifahs
We didn't just survive, we prospered as human beings
We found a way to develop a moral principle and values
And disciplines that made us better human beings
This is for my Kings and Latifahs
This is for my Kings and Latifahs
So, freedom isn't about your external situation or your environment?
Well, it gives you the ability to control your environment
You know, that's what freedom is
It's the ability, like I said, to take your
Philosophical views or your theoretical views or your
Personal views or whatever and make it real, you know?
Move it from within yourself to outside yourself
But like I said, I think I achieved mental, emotional
Philosophical freedom when I was around in my early forties
That's when I re-educated myself and had accumulated
Enough experience and wisdom where I was able to define
What kind of person I wanted to be for the rest of my life
But at the time, also time that I realised that there was limitations
To what I could achieve 'cause I was physically still in prison
