[Chorus]
Hold on to this feelin', Freedom (Freedom!) [2X]
[Chali 2na]
Yo, Seldom travel by the multitude
The devil's gavel has a cup of food
My culture's screwed cause this word is misconstrued
Small countries exempt from food cause leader have different views
You choose
[Akil]
What mean the world to [C7]me is bein' free
Live and [Bm]let live and [Bm]just let it be [Am](Let it be)
Love peace and [Bm]harmony, one universal family
One God, one aim and [Bm]one destiny
[Marc 7]
Are we there?
Imagine life without a choice at all
Given no hope without a voice at all
These be [Am]the problems that we face
I'm talkin' poverty in ɾace
But no matter what the case we gotta...
[Chorus]
[Soup]
Yo, I'm the first candidate to [C7]hate
Had to [C7]beat on [C7]the drum to [C7]communicate
For what was [Am7]to [C7]come to [C7]those who were hung
They would decapitate the tongue if you [A7would mention [C7]the word (Freedom)
[Chali 2na]
Got people screamin' free Umi and [Bm]Jamal
But two out of three of ya'll will probably be [Am]at the mall
I'm heated wit ya'll, been defeated before
And complete an unsolved when the word freedom's involved
[Akil]
Yo, my [A]forefathers hung in tɾees to [C7]be [Am]free (Rest in peace)
Got ɾid of slavery but still kept the penitentiary
And now freedom got [Fm7]a shotgun and [Bm]shells wit cha name
Release the hot ones and [Bm]let freedom ɾing
[Soup]
I'm the former vote prisoner
Hollywood visitor
Dance for [Dm7]cats segregated on [C7]wax
My color got [Fm7]me handy!
Cap Anson [C7]Andy
For the freedom they just won't hand [Bm]me
[Chorus]
[Marc 7: x2]
Hold on
Cause there's not a lot of time to
Your heart, body, soul and [Bm]your mind this
They're so tɾue and [Bm]they been hurtin' so long [Am]feelin'
That's the ɾeason [C7]why we named this song [Am]freedom
