Freedom

Lyrics

[Chorus]
I Know exactly where the hate is
Come on! come on!
I Know exactly where the fake is
Ah Get Up, Ah Get Up
Ain't on my streets...
Street, street, street, streets
Right on this beat...
Let me talk to 'em

[Verse 1]
Let me talk you just for a second
People gone shoot, they don't really need a weapon
Preach gone preach, he ain't never need a reverend
Life so fast, ends in second, lessons learned and blessings
I've made peace with my L's, that's a lesson
Hands had shoes, they would swear I had a weapon
21 years, still a recession
Momma need a house, no room for depression
Block boys work 7 to eleven
12 lay low, see your skin, it's felon
Drugs look good when the merch ain't selling
We just see a bag, it's the skin that they checking
I reckon they wanna see me stay in oppression
Hotel lobby, they ain't wanna see me check in
Step in, they hate to see a young one flexin' like!

[Chorus]
I Know exactly where the hate is
Come on! come on!
I Know exactly where the fake is
Ah Get Up, Ah Get Up
Ain't on my streets...
Street, street, street, streets
Right on this beat...
Let me talk to 'em

[Verse 2]
Put your hands in the air if you ever
Moved to a place hoping that it would be better
Overtime so your child can have a sweater
Pocket change, cash it for that cheddar
Mind focused, bread up, streets are mine, they'd let up
Shining, have 'em fed up, only see me cry with my head up
This is my life, they can't live that
They sold your land, the plan you can't wrap that
I'm a soldier, I'mma peep that
Sky's the limit, my squad can reach that
Door ahead, my team can breach that
Truth on the mic, I preach that, re-tweet that
Tell 'em keep back, where the peace at
Put your hands up
Have you ever heard something so clever
Well put together, they ain't heard it like this before
It's all 'bout you, well, well
Just to tell you the truth, they don't love you
So you gotta love you, we out here
Just remember that, ow!

[Chorus]
I Know exactly where the hate is
Come on! come on!
I Know exactly where the fake is
Get Up, Get Up
Ain't on my streets...
Street, street, street, streets
Right on this beat...

[Verse 3]
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And there's nothing left, I hope my son's set
Hope my daughter's all good, she ain't gotta fret
All my brothers in the streets, we swore to protect
Every sister in the game, don't settle for less
Knowledge is power, they just want you in check
Stay true to yourself, never neglect, it's 'bout...

[Chorus]
I Know exactly where the hate is
Come on! come on!
I Know exactly where the fake is
Get Up, Get Up
Ain't on my streets...
Street, street, street, streets
Right on this beat...
Let me talk to 'em

[Outro]
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up now
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up now
One up now, lay it down, it's on us now
It's on you
