Flobots - Gonna Be Free Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brer Rabbit]Yeah I'm a believer, I won't be beleagueredI give a damn, no Leave it to BeaverWith the R-E-S-P-E-C-T like ArethaAnd if I don't use my feet then I won't have that eitherYes we serve, we deserve some peaceAnd we serve the least versed to reverseThe deep hurt that's featuredEach turn of the sheet of a learned historyLike Wall Street, the Trail of Tears and the War in the PhilippinesAnd I wash my hands clean like surgeons in emergenciesMedian on weed like conjoinment and GlucosaminesRelap the joint and wound the kneeLet's Deco the NegroAnd be like ?????? we're not hearing a beatFrom the projects like ?????? and researchWe're jumping in feet-firstReaction on the knee-jerkDon't let his story recurSwipe ?????? like a VisaA fire doesn't need a sinkholeJust the silence of the people[Hook (x2)]As for me, I'm gonna be freeI'm gonna be free from all of this historyYeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free[Verse 2: Jonny 5]I rhyme post-post-ironic flows (homo)I came to ***** shut up, homosStonewall, laugh at that, no noDon't y'all assume that I'm straightCause you don't knowI'm close to the edge like BonoWon't fall victim to the Gordian KnotTrying to sort again rock mineFor the winPlot lines are stretched like accordionTo Resurrect, born again, in division???????Free from all the historyBeef with salt and miseryJust how it should be for y'all and is for meThat's the truth, blppppp as bald asMr. Clean, spit it like Listerine'Till my lips are stinging hot, scalding, blisteringI'm composting primitive thoughtsAnd prayers what we want most?????? lock the prison with God's forgivenessIt's it a bunch of ??????On he goes ??????Touchdown like BroncosThe song goes on like ponchos[Hook (x2)]As for me, I'm gonna be freeI'm gonna be free from all of this historyYeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be freeAnd if we can start a riot (well what can we really do?)If we can tear a city down (what can we really do?)Crush enemies, cause casualtiesIf we can start a movementIf we can lift a city upIf we can heal the woundedFeed our families, face history[Hook (x4)]As for me, I'm gonna be freeI'm gonna be free from all of this historyYeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
