"Free" lyrics
Nasty C & Tellaman Lyrics
Chase a lot of dreams, all I do is scheme
Tryna keep my family on whichever side is green
My niggas gotta eat by any fucking means
I mean it, yeah
Fake so many smiles, send 'em to your screen
Just in case somebody watching, looking up to me
I've got to tame my anger, I can't never cause a scene
Just breathe, yeah
Made a lot of sacrifices, living the extreme
Took a lot of damage to my mental and my peace
Just for me to see that all I really want to be... is free, yeah
Bought a lot of ice, most of which I didn't need
Making up for all the times I wished I wasn't me
'Cause I was just a nobody, I had no self-esteem
In my teens
Ayy, remember when a nigga used to hit the stage for free?
They took me for a joke like I'm Martin, but I had a dream
We was very young, dreaming 'bout shit they couldn't be
Now we live it
Mama told me, "Pray to God and ask, you shall receive"
Pops told me, "Don't trust any man, they deceive"
"You can do it all by yourself if you believe"
And I did
Ayy, now they can't tell me shit all about mine, and I handle it
We never had shit, grinding hard while they're getting lit
Fuckin' bunch of has-beens don't want to see us eat
Don't want to see us free, ayy
Push and smile through the pain and all the problems I'm battling out
I'ma get what's mine, nigga, whether you hate me or not
Never switch on mine, even after the day I die, I—
Why they acting like we owe them something?
Why they acting like they know the struggle?
Like they know where the fuck we come from
Chase a lot of dreams, all I do is scheme
Tryna keep my family on whichever side is green
My niggas gotta eat by any fucking means
I mean it, yeah
Fake so many smiles, send 'em to your screen
Just in case somebody watching, looking up to me
I've got to tame my anger, I can't never cause a scene
Just breathe, yeah
Made a lot of sacrifices, living the extreme
Took a lot of damage to my mental and my peace
Just for me to see that all I really want to be... is free, yeah
Bought a lot of ice, most of which I didn't need
Making up for all the times I wished I wasn't me
'Cause I was just a nobody, I had no self-esteem
In my teens
Tryna keep my family on whichever side is green
My niggas gotta eat by any fucking means
I mean it, yeah
Fake so many smiles, send 'em to your screen
Just in case somebody watching, looking up to me
I've got to tame my anger, I can't never cause a scene
Just breathe, yeah
Made a lot of sacrifices, living the extreme
Took a lot of damage to my mental and my peace
Just for me to see that all I really want to be... is free, yeah
Bought a lot of ice, most of which I didn't need
