| FREEDOM | B |
| - | |
| Not a state of mind | C |
| But a way of life | D |
| A statement of hope | E |
| The words signed contracted on a piece of paper | F |
| Sometimes broken torn and scorned | G |
| Freedom is | H |
| What we want b | I |
| But can t in spite of the abuse | J |
| The system gives out | K |
| Like tickets to a slave auction | L |
| Freedom was as is | H |
| Use to be | I |
| Has been back in the day | M |
| When it was fought for and | N |
| Then won hands down | O |
| And those words of freedom | B |
| On our lips | P |
| I ll be damn | Q |
| Someone comes to mess it up | R |
| Making it bad | S |
| For the next one | L |
| Making it look like there is no hope | E |
| There is no freedom | B |
| There is no life | D |
| And so I waddle in pity | I |
| Like it ain t nobody s business | T |
| Nobody s business but my own | U |
| - | |
| And if you are born in this country | I |
| The chances are fifty fifty | I |
| Zero for us | T |
| Fifty for them | V |
| Zero for us | T |
| Sixty for them | V |
| Zero for us | T |
| Move nigger move | W |
| Work nigger work | X |
| Bend that black ass of yours nigger | F |
| Now let me bend my yellow ass u to kiss | Y |
| After Malcolm Martin and the rest | Z |
| Came on the scene | A2 |
| To bring it on | B2 |
| And died for the freedom we need | C2 |
| Like a crack head needing crack | D2 |
| They preached the gospel of freedom | B |
| And now their voices are silenced | E2 |
| Only hearing the winds of their words | F2 |
| Bellowing loud and clear | G2 |
| But do we listen | L |
| What s the matter fool | H2 |
| Do you hear the cry | I2 |
| From the streets of Southside Chicago | J2 |
| To New York s Harlem streets | K2 |
| To the Deep South s cotton fields | L2 |
| To every alleyway | M |
| To every Church | M2 |
| The cry of freedom is still there | N2 |
| - | |
| Yes they cry freedom in South Africa | O2 |
| But is it heard | P2 |
| Yes they cry freedom in Israel | Q2 |
| But is it heard | P2 |
| Under no certain terms | R2 |
| We must turn our heads | S2 |
| Looking the other way | M |
| Say I can t do it | T2 |
| But instead saying | U2 |
| I DO BELIEVE | V2 |
| Yes I do believe | V2 |
