Why would I waste my time
Trying to live your life
Why would you tell me no
Don't you know I was born
For freedom it's the only way for me

Why would tell me move
When I'm next to you
We're all just trying survive
But you wanna eat me alive
For freedom so won't you let me be

We ain't never had a taste of freedom
A sweet, sweet life our kids we need them
To end it all we have to feed them truth
And if act like you're not equal
Take to the streets cause we the people
Only do the shit that you believe in

Oooh oooh
Love is all we're here to fight for
Oooh oooh
Why do we keep getting by for
How you see me a criminal
And always guilty I ain't got nothing to lose
I live my life however I choose
They call me freedom
They call me freedom

Why does my attitude
Come off rude to you
Is my face too loud
Is my voice too proud
For freedom the only way for me

Why can't the children play
Ask a mom to pray
Why can't I draw the line
Go and take what's mine
For freedom you won't be chasing me

We ain't never had a taste of freedom
A sweet sweet life our kids we need them
To end it all we have to feed them truth
And if act like you're not equal
Take to the streets cause we the people
Only do the shit that you believe in

Oooh oooh
Love is all we're here to fight for
Oooh oooh
Why do we keep getting by for
How you see me a criminal
And always guilty I ain't got nothing to lose
I live my life however I choose
They call me freedom
They call me freedom

Freedom
They call me freedom
