Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free) [Cover Version Tribute to Lupe Fiasco[00:00:00]
First off say peace to Pine Ridge[00:00:20]
Shame at all the damage[00:00:22]
The white man wine did[00:00:23]
Ghost dance Trail of Tears [00:00:24]
5 million beers a year[00:00:25]
And all that other crime did[00:00:27]
More peace to the teachers of blind kids[00:00:28]
To rebels in small cells keeping their mind big[00:00:30]
Say everything's hostile[00:00:33]
Suicide bombers and prosperity gospels [00:00:34]
Emaciated models[00:00:37]
With coc*ine and blood pouring out their nostrils [00:00:38]
They got to[00:00:41]
Just to stay awake on the catwalk of life[00:00:41]
Where everybody watch you[00:00:44]
Straight hair high heels and a handbag[00:00:45]
Crucifixes racism and a land grab[00:00:48]
Katrina FEMA trailers [00:00:50]
Human body sandbags[00:00:51]
A peace sign and a pants sag[00:00:53]
A money toss cause a 9[00:00:55]
Stripper mad dash[00:00:56]
A friend request following a hash tag[00:00:57]
Now everybody want it like a last laugh[00:01:00]
A Michael Jackson jacket or a daft mask[00:01:02]
Purple Jordans or the mixed[00:01:03]
Girl in your math class[00:01:05]
Stable is when the Ba'ath had Baghdad[00:01:06]
But corporate jets really had to have that gas bad[00:01:08]
War and they hope they all fall from the ratatat[00:01:11]
Cause that's just more dinosaur for the Cadillac[00:01:13]
Live from the other side what you see[00:01:16]
A bunch of nonsense on my TV[00:01:18]
Heaven on Earth is what I need[00:01:20]
But I feel I'm in every time I breathe[00:01:22]
Reporting live from the other[00:01:25]
Side what you hear[00:01:26]
A bunch of nonsense all in my ear[00:01:27]
Rich man poor man we all gotta pay[00:01:29]
Cause freedom ain't free [00:01:32]
Especially 'round my way[00:01:33]
And we marvel at the state of Ottoman[00:01:34]
Then turn around and treat[00:01:37]
Ghana like a garbage can[00:01:38]
America's a big garbageman[00:01:39]
If you ain't know you're part and[00:01:41]
Parcel of the problem[00:01:43]
You say no you ain't and I say yes you is[00:01:44]
Soon as you find out what[00:01:46]
Planned obsolescence is[00:01:47]
You say no they didn't [00:01:48]
And I say yes they did[00:01:50]
The definition of unnecessary-ness[00:01:51]
Manifested[00:01:54]
Say that we should protest[00:01:55]
Just to get arrested[00:01:57]
That goes against all my hustling ethics[00:01:58]
A bunch of jail say its highly ineffective[00:01:59]
Depart from Martin [00:02:02]
Connect on Malcolm X tip[00:02:03]
Insert Baldwin to similar the separate[00:02:05]
To me the truth is more[00:02:07]
Fulfilling than a meth hit[00:02:08]
Or finding really fast internet[00:02:09]
To have some sex with[00:02:10]
It's all one song short of a set list[00:02:12]
Couple croissants shy of[00:02:14]
A continental breakfast[00:02:15]
Or blowing out your birthday[00:02:16]
Candles just to make a death wish[00:02:17]
So absurd word to Chief Bone Necklace[00:02:19]
Down at the Lakota Sioux Casino[00:02:22]
A whole culture boiled down[00:02:23]
To giving you pokeno[00:02:25]
I go as left as a heart in the chest[00:02:26]
Cause the Horn of Africa is[00:02:28]
Now starving to death[00:02:29]
Live from the other side what you see[00:02:30]
A bunch of nonsense on my TV[00:02:33]
Heaven on Earth is what I need[00:02:35]
But I feel I'm in every time I breathe[00:02:37]
Reporting live from the[00:02:39]
Other side what you hear[00:02:40]
A bunch of nonsense all in my ear[00:02:42]
Rich man poor man we all gotta pay[00:02:44]
Cause freedom ain't free [00:02:47]
Especially 'round my way[00:02:48]
An all white Los Angeles [00:02:49]
The dream of Mr Chandler[00:02:50]
Hope and pray they take[00:02:51]
Columbus day up off the calendar[00:02:53]
South Central an example of God's gifts[00:02:54]
So shout to all the mothers[00:02:56]
Raising babies in SPA 6[00:02:57]
The projects of Oakland city [00:02:58]
Detroit ghost towns[00:03:00]
Monopolies on poverty[00:03:01]
Where D-boy coke bound[00:03:02]
It's parts of Manilla like the[00:03:03]
Video for "Thriller"[00:03:05]
But the US Embassy is reminiscent of a villa[00:03:05]
If poverty is chocolate and privilege vanilla[00:03:08]
Then what's the flavor of the[00:03:10]
Sunday preacher's pedophilia[00:03:11]
Cash rules everything around these wither[00:03:12]
As classrooms everywhere[00:03:15]
Around me wither[00:03:16]
Hither you can be Mr Burns or Mr Smithers[00:03:17]
The tyrant or the slave but[00:03:19]
Nowhere in the middle[00:03:21]
Of the extremes of America's dream[00:03:22]
Freud fighting Neo Freddy[00:03:24]
Krueger refereeing now [00:03:25]
Live from the other side what you see[00:03:27]
A bunch of nonsense on my TV[00:03:29]
Heaven on Earth is what I need[00:03:31]
But I feel I'm in every time I breathe[00:03:33]
Reporting live from the other[00:03:36]
Side what you hear[00:03:37]
A bunch of nonsense all in my ear[00:03:38]
Rich man poor man we all gotta pay[00:03:40]
Cause freedom ain't free [00:03:43]
Especially 'round my way[00:03:44]
