LYRICS: Yo… She wanna be freed. She wanna be free… Put her mind at ease. And let her hair just float in da breeze. She wanna be freed…She wanna be free. Then give her to me…and let her get lost wit ( basement diaries ) 1:00min Her she is again running from her problems parents can’t solve em.. add to her situation. Works 2 jobs trying to get an education. No hand outs, breaks, vacation just stuck , down on her luck without a buck Contemplatin way ta escape her destination often looks at planes just drifts. With her third eye seeing better dan dis. (inhale) Holding in….. da smoke from a spliff. Low key as she walk by the kids.. Give’s em quick nod. Let ‘em know what it is.. Times hard.. Yet time heals scars. Like a testament.. she just kept right on stepping wit a piece of pride… Even though she was wreckless. At least she ain’t out hooking for a necklace.. And if it ever in her plan to settle for a man…hmmm.. than God bless him. 1:47sec.. Sample 1:57Next HooK….. Yo… She wanna be freed. She wanna be free… Put her mind at ease. And let her hands just float in da breeze. She wanna be freed…She wanna be free. Then give her to me…let her get lost wit ( basement diaries) 2:19 When she get her chance……..even if there’s trouble She”ll never be dancing wit da devil. She gunna give into the bass & the trebille. And float away in her own lil bubble. To a different frame of mind…. She;s tired of all the pain dat co exist inside no longer want her last name or anything that gunna reflect the shame from her past days She gunna just let the rain wash it all away Fed up, wit/ wasted time spent looking out da window pain ready to spark dat fire in_side her new times.. Colliding wit a New vibe So….Let da tires rotate to a landscape sumn like blue skys sippin my tais with her toes in the sand letting time fly Finally felling good to have no plans Thinkn I’m Content where I am …Hot damn….I’m free

LYRICS: give me the lighter, I’m a freedom fighter sent to ignite a tired generation through the storm we back to cold nights yet we invested inspite wether weather wanna treat us right ( haha ) Gimme da mic, I’m gunna give you what you like. Hands Up! …… It’s all love….uh-huh … It’s alright;; alright bringing warmth from the light, have more out your life, absorb less of da hype You can’t afford to go another night losing more of the person that you once liked once might of seen the real and stopped living out of spite swallowing all these pills to make you numb to your fight. playing a victim will never lead to new heights, New sights, But I told you … It’s all love…uh hu….it’s alright 44sec. If they got beef youngin den letem bite Bull dogs bark but a pitbull will rip you apart. I’m Coming from the shadows that embrace in da dark. Like a cold fog hovering over everywhere you are I’m just a breed of Noah’s ark So I’m feeling to take this seed and grow it to a proper stalk. So I……. no longer… even need to walk, I’ll just climb…. through heavens……….. and through skies. Searching for hellos and leaving all my goodbyes Anything to relieve me of the tears from her brown eye. I’ll gladly leave that pain for a better life But right now…yo some how…yeah.. I vow That I’ll get what they would never allow… A sad clown with a chance to turn his frown around. HOOK---were gunna be alright….ooh ohh it’s alright. The worlds made of colors and people different shades But collectivelymy brother. We can all be made. We can all be made.. We can all have better days. Living earths final days but distracted by the those wit fame Who’s to blame we bask in how they entertain Sell yourself to what the teacher taught and what a stripper bought. I’m just a skater boy being chased by a rent a cop. Don’t stop don’t ask. Open up that register and give me all your cash. If you don’t know the name, shish boy you betta ask. I’m coming for the map hungry for a hot plate. When I don’t eat I start to contemplate the crime rate. Lol. ( Pause) Inspiring masses sharing Visions through inspector gadgets glasses Feeling to fix the broken hearted get em back to where they started full of love wrapped in hugs walking red rugs headed to their dreams. Either way I’ll hush em right back to sleep…

LYRICS: Now let me rock it steady Re-enforce dat levy Cause these beats are heavy Filling up your cup my lady Think you can change me? Yeah… I don’t except no maybe. Who you fooling, huh.. Come over here already I got plans of you in Prada hopping outta Mercedes Rocking Dolce & Gabanna See you can’t play me. Cause you’ll only play yourself Drop dat front Quit acting like you don’t need no help. Not about the wealth It’s how I felt Need to know…. I’m not…. only by myself. Never if you’re rolling with me We’ll be living in the life of luxury With plenty of what you need. See…. right now…I’m steady on the grind Trying to get mine So you can get yours But it takes time I…can sacrifice anything you like. Playing off your weakness of that emptiness inside. It……… ain’t only me….that I’m working for Give you love give hugs then give you plenty more. Every woman has a weakness. Tell me girl what’s your secret. 1:24 Well my loving don’t stop. I keep it flowing off the top of my dome till I take you home, Let you know You aint ever alone… So Right now….Let me lay your body down…relieve your shoulders of dat crown… Got this princess ..defenseless from her senses ..smelling incents… suspicious by the touch of satin, her clutch tenses at the stay time lets down her fences so you know we gunna get it cracking. I can see you in the mood….. so let it happen. We aint got a do nothing u aint use to. Sooooo.. Went fo da kill like Bill in attempt to seal da deal she interrupt my shpeel saying….Boy Ohhh your game is strong Don’t lead me on If you do me right, believe me..I’ll never do you wrong. Yo word is born Yet satisfaction is da result of actions tired of love songs…. Too many questions Time to get it cracking after all the bright lights and fashion Were just two amongst a world of wrongs.. So baby won’t you come along… I’ll give you shelter from the storm.

Either way they both made me , me Either wayThey both made me , free ******** 2:15 Really were The man behind others scars, Lingering at bars, trying act hard Looking for your next victim Yo it’s sickening how I gotta share da same air Peeling back da layers to a prayer that was never there It aint fair, Either way we gunna make it And never let ‘em take Da essence of our presence help our brethren get closer to the light. Closer to the warmth. No longer need to cry No longer harmed Get you on path to da source Off da course of remorse… Yo we gunna march forth. With the help of the Lord And we’ll never stop. It’s All for the love All For the love of hip hop
