[Intro]
(What is freedom?)
(What is freedom?)

[Hook]
Free your mind, free your goals
Free your time, free your souls
We got all that, oh, oh, we
We got all that, oh, oh, we
Free your mind, free your goals
Free your time, free your souls
We got all that, oh, oh, we
We got all that
We want our freedom, yeah
Ha, we want our freedom, yeah, ha

[Verse 1]
I want freedom, I don't know the meaning or how to achieve it
'Cause freedom founded on thinking, all this freedom isn't freedom
But that's the kind of freedom that's crazy and make appealing
And all other kinds of freedom is crazy dangerous demons
Pray your brains on the ceilings for entertaining the meaning
It's political, physical, spiritual and it's healing 'cause
Freedom is difficult, it requires a critical
Mass of the population, not following the typical
Propaganda accused, media supreming news
In fact, it ain't even shocking no more
It's just pitiful, real mask killers dining on fine dinners
While preaching to us about freedom like we are sleeping

[Hook]
Free your mind, free your goals
Free your time, free your souls
We got all that, oh, oh, we
We got all that, oh, oh, we
Free your mind, free your goals
Free your time, free your souls
We got all that, oh, oh, we
We got all that
We want our freedom, yeah
Ha, we want our freedom, yeah, ha

[Verse 2]
Listen, I wanna be free like the number when I feel like to wonder
Don't wanna feel like I'm under but oversaturated
My imagination could wonder, your boxes and categories
Are something I want to counter, 'cause I'm a freedom hunter
A truth terrorist, a lie killer
Me and Akala brought this pen inside, five fingers
It's musical medicine, do you want to collab with us?
We fighting the spiritual war, can I get a third-eye witness?
More fire, more power, the world's ours
I can free myself from all these cowards that I've been down with
But the biggest enemy ain't the cowards in my surroundings
My biggest enemy is the enemy, I'm astounded, gutter

[Hook]
Free your mind, free your goals
Free your time, free your souls
We got all that, oh, oh, we
We got all that, oh, oh, we
Free your mind, free your goals
Free your time, free your souls
We got all that, oh, oh, we
We got all that
We want our freedom, yeah
Ha, we want our freedom, yeah, ha

[Verse 3]
If knowledge is power, then tell me please, what is freedom?
Can you define a single word that has a million meanings?
And if you mean it like I mean it, do we really need it?
Is definition another prison that we believe in?
Can you be free in prison sitting in your cell?
Can you be free of the system while you're living in hell?
Can you be free if the vision is too difficult to tell?
'Cause we going round in circles like a dog chasing his tail
Time will tell if we'll fail, if we live to tell the tale
If we'll ever break the spells that they telling as well
And get free, free from the pressure, free from oppression
Free from the lies that they tell us in the history lessons
Free

[Hook]
Free your mind, free your goals
Free your time, free your souls
We got all that, oh, oh, we
We got all that, oh, oh, we
Free your mind, free your goals
Free your time, free your souls
We got all that, oh, oh, we
We got all that
We want our freedom, yeah
Ha, we want our freedom, yeah, ha
We want our freedom
We want our freedom, yeah
