Ashanti - Freedom lyrics
[Ashanti - Freedom lyrics]
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
See, I ain't never think that
I would have a situation
Where the people around me just envy
I must replace them
See, I always thought that the
People that watched me grow
Would wanna see me blow, fa'sho
But little did I know
They ain't never really wanna see me smiling
They couldn't take the fact that
I was really shining and in my heart
I know they wishing I would stop
'Cause they don't want me to
Rise and be on top
And all that jealousy and hate
Could be right in front of your face
And it's gonna hurt for you to see
But it ain't your fault, just let it be
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
See, everybody wanna have something
To talk about
So they pointing their fingers and
Always running their mouth
No matter how you try to satisfy someone else
Giving so much of yourself, your love
But it's never enough
The more you give, the more want
And they ain't happy
And they don't see all that you
Do to make them happy
They don't appreciate it until you walk away
But, you don't wanna hear it by now
It's too late
And all that jealousy and hate
Could be right in front of your face
And it's gonna hurt for you to see
But it ain't your fault, just let it be
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
What they don't understand is that I'm gonna
Keep living my life and surviving
And I'm gonna keep pushing and
Striving and climbing and grinding
'Cause ain't no time to be crying
I been providing with the strength
To carry my weight and I'm gonna be okay
'Cause, I'ma live my life my way
You can say what you want to say
It won't affect the way I'm living
I'm winning by being free again, yeah
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me, yeah
'Cause it's my life, my life
My life, my life, my life
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause, I'ma be me
