Freedom

[intro:  Zack de la Rocha & Gil Scott-Heron]

Killing in the name of

Kill, killing in the name of

You will not be able to stay home, brother

You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out

You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials, because

The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will be live

[verse 1: Zack de la Rocha & Beyoncé]

Uh!

And now you do what they told ya

And now you do what they told ya

And now you do what they told ya

And now you do what they told ya

Come on!

Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder

Tell the storm I'm new

I'ma walk, I'ma march on the regular

Painting white flags blue

Lord, forgive me, I've been running

Running blind in truth

I'ma rain, I'ma rain on this bitter love

Tell the sweet I'm new

[Chorus 1: Pharrell Williams & Beyoncé]

Freedom

Breathe in

Freedom

Breathe in

Hold on to me

Don't let me go

Who cares what they see?

Who cares what they know?

Your first name is Free

Last name is Dom

Cause you still believe

In where we’re from

Freedom! Freedom! I can't move

Freedom, cut me loose! Yeah

Freedom! Freedom! Where are you?

'Cause I need freedom, too!

I break chains all by myself

Won't let my freedom rot in hell

Hey! I'ma keep running

'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves

[verse 2: Zack de la Rocha]

Uh!

Killing in the name of

Kill, killing in the name of

Some of those that work forces

Are the same that burn crosses

Some of those that work forces

Are the same that burn crosses

Some of those that work forces

Are the same that burn crosses

Some of those that work forces

Are the same that burn crosses!

[Chorus 2: Pharrell Williams, Beyoncé, & Zack de la Rocha]

Freedom

Breathe in

Freedom

Breathe in

Hold on to me

Don't let me go

The cheetahs need to eat

Run, antelope

Your first name is King

Last name is Dom

Cause you still believe

In everyone

Freedom! Freedom! I can't move

Freedom, cut me loose! Yeah

Freedom! Freedom! Where are you?

'Cause I need freedom, too!

I break chains all by myself

Won't let my freedom rot in hell

Hey! I'ma keep running

'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves

Come on!

Yeah!

Hey! I'ma keep running

'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves

[verse 3: Pharell Williams & Zack de la Rocha]

Uh!

Atoms in the air

Organisms in the sea

The sun and yes, man

Are made of the same things

Freedom!

Come on!

Freedom!

Come on!

Freedom!

Come on!

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom
