Free like we want to be

Some time you want to get off

Leave the work and take off

But the boss man say you gonna lose you pay

No chain on your feet now

9 to 5 got you beat now

You working hard to save

Inflation like a tidal wave



Are we free like we want to be

Tell me are we free like we want to be

Are we free like we want to be

Tell me are we free like we want to be



Racist get defeat

Black Man vote and take you seat

Now them think we gonna quiet

Maybe we start a riot

Whan happen to the diamond they stole

The innocent blood run cold

Do we still have to live in poverty

Now they say we're free to be poor

But are we free like we want to be

Black Man are we free like we want to be



Tell me are we free like want to be

Are you free are you free

Kept in emotion

Will cause an explosion

Let your love go

Let me know

Some people expect

That's not what them get

Become no slave

Of them evil and wicked ways



Are we free like we want to be

Are we free like we want to be

Are you free like you want to be

Are we free like we want to be



Can't walk the streets late at night

Without fear of parasite

Everyone has a inborn right

A inborn right to live

Who gave us the reason to fight

By promoting negative vibes

Who taught us of drugs and crime

Now they say we're free to homicide

Committing geoncide

We freely homicide committing genocide



Man we free like we want to be

Black Man we free like we want to be

Tell me we free like we want to be

Are you free like you want to be

We want to be free

Free like we want to be
