He beat me like a dick in jail and cursed at me
Master done it but she blamin' it on drop dead Fred
Please take me away from this awful place
My brother just got popped back in his county blues
So I'm 'bout takin' my life, dice tumblin'
We got nothing 2 lose, take my hand lemme help ya
You got to believe we can get away
I'm ready to flee to a better place
But I was taught to pray to the Lord and have faith
We got nothing 2 lose, take my hand lemme help ya
Let's make a move, hurry up let's go now
Nine times, nine to five, I'm troop servin'
I want to be free, love ya sista
My niece got raped pregnant, won't tell she scared
I want to be free, help each other
Uh, uh, uh, I'm in the field, thats white lil' niggas and me
I'm certain we, weren't put on this earth to be, bustled
I'm tired of doin' what the devils say
Two days later master sold my momma, master sold my momma
Comin' through next week, my rent and my girl due
Let's make a move, hurry up let's go now
I want to be free, don't you miss her
Let's make a move, hurry up let's go now
Go West, South and East, whatever the way
Wishin' I could walk away
I'm tired of doin' what the devils say
I want to be free, help each other
Look here, run I dare ya
We got nothing 2 lose, take my hand lemme help ya
I want to be free, don't you miss her
So every now and then, your gonna sing the blues
Life ain't got no rules, destruction, one two's
I'm ready to flee to a better place
I want to be free, come on brotha
If its pride or die, I'm choosin' respect
I'm tired of doin' what the devils say
You got to believe we can get away
I want to be free, come on brotha
I want to be free, I want to be free
You got to believe we can get away
Thats what I told my momma
Still out in the field, mobbin' with Sean and Smoke
'Cause momma got laid off, the lil' sis need shoes
I want to be free, I want to be free
I want to be free, love ya sista
We got nothing 2 lose, take my hand lemme help ya
I'm ready to flee to a better place
Hopin' the rain from dawn 'til shower day
I want to be free, help each other
I want to be free, come on brotha
You got to believe we can get away
If it ain't what master talk or say
I want to be free, don't you miss her
Go West, South and East, whatever the way
'Nuff sufferin', done dealt with more headaches the bufferin'
'Cause master got us workin' late night and then wakin' up in the wee
And when it's cold, joints lock up barker than trees
Rest, I don't get enough of my sleep
I catch ya, I'ma give ya more lashes than mascara
I want to be free, love ya sista
Go West, South and East, whatever the way
Pickin', pushin', pullin', cuttin' the field
As long as I work for he, I work for free
Nine, you bout tryin' to eat well, get in line
'Cause you can be so off today
And we the worst to bread, worse than flees
Hours of the mornin', stackin' stalks of hay
Man I tell ya drop shit, ain't nothin'
And pops been made it off, there was no money, no food
Nobody deserve to be, hustled
But one day, things gon' change for better
I drop down the road, tryin' to get that pot of gold
I want to be free, don't you miss her
Through all seasons, winter, fall, summer and spring
Gotta spend my time off the destructive by gettin' by doe bu-bu-bubblin'
I want to be free, love ya sista
I want to be free, come on brotha
But then I think about hard away, master cut off his hand
I want to be free, I want to be free
Master say being born colored was the worst disease
I want to be free, help each other
Lord knows it cant rain forever
Sweatin' 'bout to dehydrate, stuck in the heat
'Cause you can't talk or sing or speak from your mouth
Let's make a move, hurry up let's go now
From dusk to dawn 'til the sun come and it leave
Can't risk stumblin', fumblin'
I saw my daddy hung dead, wit a noose on his neck
I'm tired of doin' what the devils say
