Brother Ali - Freedom Ain't Free lyrics
[Brother Ali - Freedom Ain't Free lyrics]
Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothing here for free
If I don't like my life I
Gut it and rebuild it
Fuck it keep nothing but God and my children
I kill the devil wherever he resides
Even if he hiding in me he got to die
I killed little Jason he was only fifteen
Sewed his good trait's together made Ali
Filled his lungs with the
Qur'an until he breathed
Let him walk but kept him on a short leash
Here he stand now seventeen
Year old man child ain't asked nobody for a
Mother fuckin hand out
He trying to carry heaven on his back
Jumped the broom with a stranger
Ain't never look back
What he know about how the world spin?
Bless his heart he a virgin
Never even had a girlfriend
Want to be a man so bad that he can taste it
His family fell apart and he
Trying to replace it
You'll find in him a heart
That's second to none
But, I know also that his
Lessons ain't done so
I stand willing to kill him again
If to grow he got to shed his
Skin then let it be done
Ain't no where to run to
There ain't nothing here for free
See what I see and know
That freedom ain't free lord
Ain't no where to run to
There ain't nothing here for free
You'll see what I see and
Know that freedom ain't free
One half of all the two legged's on the scene
Are too timid to dream cos failure is
Far too depressing it would seem
So they take whats given
Thats your decison I just
Don't consider that living
If I'm to die whether or not I try
I might as well let the dice fly
I'm hot knife through butter
In the night's sky
It shouldn't take a genius to see
This hunger in my eye
So I use blood and sweat to butter my bread
Cos this cold world couldn't give
A fuck if I'm fed
I ain't curled up in my bed
If I don't set the world ablaze trust
It ain't cos of nothing I did
Listen I don't think God's
Obligated to touch you
If your ass would rather live in
Shit than work a shovel
I refuse to let the sun set on me again
Til' the end I'm a one man army, friend
Ain't no where to run to
There ain't nothing here for free
See what I see and know
That freedom ain't free lord
Ain't no where to run to
There ain't nothing here for free
You'll see what I see and
Know that freedom ain't free
There ain't nothing here for free
If I don't like my life I
Gut it and rebuild it
Fuck it keep nothing but God and my children
I kill the devil wherever he resides
Even if he hiding in me he got to die
I killed little Jason he was only fifteen
Sewed his good trait's together made Ali
Filled his lungs with the

Let him walk but kept him on a short leash

Year old man child ain't asked nobody for a

Jumped the broom with a stranger
