Joi - Freedom ( Theme from Panther) lyrics
[Joi - Freedom Theme from Panther lyrics]
We will not bow down to injustice
We will not bow down to exploitation
I'm gon' stand, I'm gon' stand
Now this is time for free
Your mind and your soul
Yo, half the story has never been told
Ladies, you got to demand what you want
And what we want is respect, right?
Come and take a walk with me
Closer walk with thee
See what only I can see
Sisters, check this watch this
Turn us loose
Set us free from all the chains that bind me
Let us run in our own direction
Let us go
Set us free from all this propaganda and lies
That your people try to teach us
I know why you would like to bring us down
Because we have all the dirt on you
You try to tell us that our
Lives don't mean a damn
But we know so much better
So we're gonna take our freedom
Freedom for my body freedom for my mind
Freedom for my body freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spirit
All this time you been tellin' us these lies
But now we finally figured
Out your game
You thought that we would never wise up
But we showed you how a Black
Female can do her thing
But still you continue to keep us oppressed
But no, we ain't goin' out like that
All these lies and all this propaganda
You want us to take we're gonna take out
Freedom for my body freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spirit freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind freedom for my spirit
Freedom for my heart and my mind and
My freedom for my soul
I see the fear in your eyes surprise!
Your cover's been blown
I know just who I am and what I wanna do
I can make you run make you hide from all
Your ancestors' transgression
That you hold inside
Sisters rising up and seeing that
Our time is here
We're taking back what's been
Ours for years
Let the heaven of a sister embrace you
And praise some other gods
All these lies and all this propaganda
You want us to take we're gonna take out
Free, free, free, freedom
Freedom, ooooooooh BOP!
