Let Freedom Reign - Chrisette Michele (克里斯蒂·米歇尔)[00:00:00]
Oh American citizen come collect your freedom[00:00:06]
No matter what you're living in no more giving in[00:00:11]
Oh American citizen come collect your freedom[00:00:17]
No matter what you're living in it's time to win[00:00:22]
Keep us in the four walls of our church we'll be quiet[00:00:27]
Most of us aren't even Democratic or Republic[00:00:29]
Can and by coincidence we love the elected[00:00:32]
Until the detected of being human[00:00:35]
American falls minorities lose war[00:00:38]
But if we unite we would have won the war[00:00:40]
On poverty war on drugs[00:00:43]
War on medicate war on love[00:00:45]
Freedom isn't given it is taken[00:00:48]
Freedom isn't free it's earned[00:00:50]
Not no it's learned[00:00:52]
Been hung and burned[00:00:53]
Yet rest in peace resurrected plea[00:00:54]
This ain't black or white it's gray[00:00:58]
This is not about my face[00:01:00]
Most of us don't know what to say[00:01:03]
Right from wrong or free from slaves[00:01:06]
Let freedom reign[00:01:09]
Do you wanna be free or do you wanna go down[00:01:13]
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be free[00:01:15]
Let freedom reign[00:01:20]
Do you wanna be free or do you wanna go down[00:01:23]
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be free[00:01:25]
America the beautiful suspect as usual[00:01:31]
Liberty and death give me freedom on my funeral[00:01:33]
I walk across the planet with the steps of a giant[00:01:36]
My rhymes bridge the gap between religion and science[00:01:38]
'Cause my evidence is spiritual[00:01:41]
I know my sheer presence is a miracle[00:01:43]
I wasn't supposed to be here to share with you[00:01:45]
But here I am standing with my chest out[00:01:47]
I take my place in history I never get left out[00:01:48]
You stressed out and scared[00:01:51]
So it's causing you to act hard[00:01:53]
Freedom ain't free gotta put it on my black card[00:01:54]
My passport claim I'm an American citizen[00:01:56]
The constitution said I'm three fifths[00:01:59]
I'm not a semi and gorilla[00:02:01]
Make my songs stronger than the horn of Gideon[00:02:02]
Truth is[00:02:05]
Gave the native people syphilis[00:02:05]
Consider this Christopher Columbus[00:02:07]
Ain't know where he was goin'[00:02:09]
So let's stop calling our native brothers Indians[00:02:11]
Let freedom reign[00:02:13]
Do you wanna be free or do you wanna go down[00:02:16]
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be free[00:02:19]
Let freedom reign[00:02:24]
Do you wanna be free or do you wanna go down[00:02:27]
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be free[00:02:29]
We were carried here in shackles from the homelands[00:02:35]
Broom chop chain locked brain washed programmed[00:02:37]
Time's change freedom reigns I'm a grown man[00:02:40]
Holding the future in the palms of my own hands[00:02:43]
In this world the coonery and tomfoolery[00:02:45]
All I'm trying to do is stay true to my community[00:02:47]
The daily news ain't the only thing that's schooling me[00:02:51]
Watching these haters operating with impunity[00:02:53]
This journey dollar signs black and white collar crimes[00:02:56]
Running out of time out of sight out of mind[00:02:59]
It gets realer and it's real in Palestine[00:03:01]
Troubles of the world start to seem intertwined[00:03:04]
War criminals conflict minerals[00:03:07]
Pillagers are coming home five star generals[00:03:09]
Telling lies in press conferences and interviews[00:03:12]
I'm trying to take back the power[00:03:15]
'Cause it's been abused[00:03:16]
Let freedom reign[00:03:17]
Do you wanna be free or do you wanna go down[00:03:21]
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be free[00:03:23]
Let freedom reign[00:03:28]
Do you wanna be free or do you wanna go down[00:03:32]
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be free[00:03:34]
I'm just black in America[00:03:39]
I'm not Afro-American[00:03:41]
Just a passive American[00:03:42]
Making belief I'm better than[00:03:44]
What we've been what we've been[00:03:47]
I said I'm just black in America[00:03:49]
I'm not Afro-American[00:03:51]
Just a passive American[00:03:53]
Making belief I'm better than[00:03:55]
What we've been what we've been[00:03:57]
