[J. Cole - Be Free lyrics]
And I'm in denial, uh
And it don't take no x ray
To see right through my smile i know
I be on the go, uh
And there ain't no drink out there
That can numb my soul oh, no
Uh
And all we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is break the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is break the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
Can you tell me why
Every time I step outside I
See my niggas die? Oh, I
I'm lettin' you know
That there ain't no gun they make
That can kill my soul oh, no
All we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is take the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is break the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
So now it was like the
Officer is pulling him inside
The car and he's trying to pull away and at
No time the officer said that
He was going to do
Anything until he pulled out
His weapon his weapon
Was drawn and he said, "I'll shoot you" or
"I'm going to shoot" and in the same moment
The first
Shot went off and we looked at him and he
Was shot and there was blood coming from him
And we took off running
Are we all alone fighting on our own?
Please give me a chance i don't wanna dance
Something's got me down
I will stand my ground
Don't just stand around
Don't just stand around
As we took off running I ducked
And hid for my life, 'cause I was fearing
For my life, and I hid by the
First car I saw my friend, he
Kept running, and he told me to keep
Running 'cause he feared for me, too so
As he was running the officer was trying
To get out of the car, and once he got out
The car he pursued my friend his
Weapon was drawn now he
Didn't see any weapon drawn at
Him or anything like that
Us going for no weapon his
Weapon was already drawn
When he got out the car he shot again
And once my friend felt that shot
He turned around and put his hands in
The air, and started to get down
But the officer still approached with
His weapon drawn and
He fired seven more shots and my friend died
And all we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is break the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is break the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
And it don't take no x ray
To see right through my smile i know
I be on the go, uh
And there ain't no drink out there
That can numb my soul oh, no
Uh
And all we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is break the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is break the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
Can you tell me why
Every time I step outside I
See my niggas die? Oh, I
I'm lettin' you know
That there ain't no gun they make
That can kill my soul oh, no
All we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is take the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is take the chains off
All we wan' do is break the chains off and
All we wan' do is be free
All we wan' do is be free
