Alan Lomax - Freedom Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder
Tell the storm I'm new
I'ma walk, I'ma march on the regular
Paintin' white flags blue
Lord, forgive me, I've been runnin'
Runnin' blind in truth
I'ma rain, I'ma rain on this bitter love
Tell the sweet I'm new

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tellin' these tears, "Go fall away, fall away", oh
May the last one burn into flames

[Chorus]
Freedom, freedom, I can't move
Freedom, cut me loose
Freedom, freedom, where are you?
'Cause I need freedom too
I'll break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell (Hey)
And I'ma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves, yeah

[Verse 2]
I'ma wade, I'ma wave through the waters
Tell the tide, "Don't move"
I'ma riot, I'ma riot through your borders
Call me bulletproof
Lord, forgive me, I've been runnin'
Runnin' blind in truth
I'ma wade, I'ma wave through your shallow love
Tell the deep I'm new
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tellin' these tears, "Go fall away, fall away", oh
May the last one burn into flames

[Chorus]
Freedom, freedom, I can't move
Freedom, cut me loose (Yeah, yeah)
Freedom, freedom, where are you?
'Cause I need freedom too
I'll break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell (Hey)
And I'ma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves, hey

[Outro]
Freedom is somethin' they can't afford, it costs the free peace
Money talks, price brown calls had its free speech
Judge made a call, I'm in a three-piece
Bail up on my brother's head and now all I want is three g's
We gee, see, we bored of them games, 'nother poor held
Their hands up when promised some change, bored of the same
I'm bored, bored to slaughter, them reports with the claim
But when he grabs you by the—, you in different chains (Freedom, freedom)
Money tore me, but money showed me redemption (Move)
Songs can't be just what you never had, so finish freedom song (Freedom, cut me lose, yeah, yeah)
Shout free to every man that's standing with his hands cuffed (Where are you?)
Every time a man done held it down, they held his hands up (Freedom too)
And nowadays, they coming with some textbook
I been dead pressed, I went to school with some redneck cramps (Yeah)
Freedom, I could try and hide this lie, don't let the candle die
Slaved within the pain so when they change, don't let the cameras lie
