Why would I waste my time trying to live your life?
Why would you tell me no?
Don't you know I was born for freedom?
It's the only way for me.
Why would you tell me move when I'm next to you?
We're all just trying to survive.
But you want to eat me alive for freedom.
So won't you let me be?
We ain't never had a taste of freedom.
A sweet, sweet life, our kids, we need them.
To end it all, we have to feed them.
True.
And if they act like you're not equal,
take to the streets, because we the people.
Only do the * that you believe in.
Believe in.
Ooh,
ooh,
love is all we're here to fight for.
Ooh,
ooh,
why do we keep getting by for how you see me?
A criminal and always guilty.
I ain't got nothing to lose.
I live my life however I choose.
They call me freedom.
Yeah.
They call me freedom.
Freedom.
Yeah.
Why does my attitude come off rude to you?
Is my face too loud?
Is my voice too proud for freedom?
The only way for me.
Why can't the children play?
Ask a mountain, pray.
Why can't I draw the line?
Go and take what's mine for freedom.
You won't be chasing me.
We ain't never had a taste of freedom.
A sweet, sweet life, our kids, we need them.
To end it all, we have to feed them.
True.
And if they act like you're not equal,
take to the streets, because we the people.
Only do the * that you believe in.
Believe in.
Ooh,
ooh,
love is all we're here to fight for.
Ooh,

A criminal and always guilty.
I ain't got nothing to lose.

They call me freedom.
Yeah.
They call me freedom.
Yeah.
Yeah.
