"Freedom" lyrics
Mhmm...
Mhmm...
Mhmm... say hey yeah
Mhmm...
Mhmm...
Mhmm... say hey yeah
Professional or beginner doesn't matter
Every sinner is a prisoner in a body that is subject to time
Now my untwined mind tries to form a straight line
Not like twisted scoliosis of the spinal cord
Construct
Cross eyed carpenters are cuttin' crooked lines
Can't construct
Man-made shrines when the winds and the water move sands of time
Many minds on a deadline, yet live life like a live wire
I'm not tired! Of blood and fire
Spirit's moving higher than the green grass ever lifted me
Spirit's moving higher...
Than anything else ever lifted you, see
We got spirituality
It's living in us like one in three
Injustice is concerning me
In the non-linear eternity
I'm speaking paradoxically
But you can nod your head
Now when you understand me
This is for my free men
Whose backs won't bend in the lion's den
With their eyes on the end and
This is for my free women
Who fight with their love
The bearers of our children
Free men
Whose backs won't bend in the lion's den
With their eyes on the end and
This is for my free women
Who fight with their love
The bearers of our children
We shine like lights exposing
What lies underneath decomposing
Unearth those chains that are rusted
Oh my God, is that what I trusted in?
That sin? That tomfoolery? Ugh!
What it is is mental jewelry that I adorned myself with
The enemy's gifts, the man-made myths
The ignorant bliss of marijuana spliffs and alcoholic fifths
I got so sick and tired of it
Delivered and redeemed
By Christ I mean
It's time to start livin'
And get a reason for the rhyme
I don't wanna be dead-wrong on the deadline
Standing on the dark side and all out of time...
Like a blind pantomime's fantasized
Climb up his own ladder to the sunshine
Nothin's mine that hasn't been given
And no one's alive here that hasn't been risen
For nineteen years I was trapped in a prison
Fiending my escape by means of derision
But every man-made attempt just failed
When trapped in a jail
Of my own guilt, shame, and iniquity
I was looking for freedom
How do I find freedom from all of this?
He said believe
He said believe son
Who are You telling me to believe?
He said "I'm your Christ"
So I believed
Freedom!
Mhmm...
Mhmm...
Mhmm... say hey yeah
Mhmm...
Mhmm...
Mhmm... say hey yeah
Mhmm...
Mhmm... say hey yeah
Mhmm...
Mhmm...
Mhmm... say hey yeah
Professional or beginner doesn't matter
Every sinner is a prisoner in a body that is subject to time
Now my untwined mind tries to form a straight line
Not like twisted scoliosis of the spinal cord

Cross eyed carpenters are cuttin' crooked lines
Can't construct
Man-made shrines when the winds and the water move sands of time
Many minds on a deadline, yet live life like a live wire
I'm not tired! Of blood and fire
Spirit's moving higher than the green grass ever lifted me
Spirit's moving higher...
Than anything else ever lifted you, see
We got spirituality
