[Verse 1]
Yo twelve grand was my first brick sale
I found twelve grand in Peaches safe, me and Miguel
Karma circles right back around, all for that fish scale
Tailor made for it, unfortunately, fit well
And legend of the Saints
Might just be redefined as misdirected restraint
Cause' I was up in arms at the vision left in the frame
Pullin back and aiming at shit that feathered away
I missed and catch all the blame
But hey, such is life
The life they called a bitch is who I wanted for a wife, but when love wouldn't suffice
Holding on and knowing my intent was always right
Is how I found peace when I would roll over at night
Like Alton rolling over in his grave, or shit he might
Be rolling over in his cell but it don't pay enough to dwell
So I put all that away and I reopen it in Hell
The higher you can rise, from of the lower that you fell
Who would've thought it?
If Lucifer paging you would you call him?
In a Continental, Lincoln filled with everything you wanted
Draped in a leather bomber that he told you was a robe
Only an angel could be this angelic in approach
Level your hopes, level your fears, or swim in your tears
Sandy beaches, gunpowder, invisible chairs
Applause worthy for staying until they fade out
This brown liquor make it clear a way out
[Chorus]
This is my freedom dance
But don't dance with me
Look at everybody else who took a chance with me
See when I dance
Dont dance with me
Look at everyone who tried to hold hands with me
See it feels
So much better when you dancing on your own
Your dance partners in the broken mirrors in your home
So when I dance
Dont dance with me
Look at everyone who tried to hold hands with me
[Verse 2]
White man gave me coke
White man gave me liquor
White man gave me rope
White man named me nigga
Ropes tied around all our hope it was taken from me
Hanging from a noose but that rope worth Laker money
Gold on your scale and purple hearts on your resume
So when the name of your flag, let us pray
Pray that the God you praying to, looks like you in a sense
And if he doesn't then that's you getting lynched
Later Teddy
Asked Satin if hell let me, a seat at this bar
If God should say my reach was too far
Was too far laying shoulder to shoulder on a white lion
Or was it laying keys in my trunk
KGB's in my trunk
Can I breathe just for once, right
Take a minute here just let me breath, like what the fuck, right
Damn
Listen, listen I asked you to let me breathe before we done, please
I mean I went from, providing a cause, to survivor's remorse, to breathing free without a pot to pee on or pee in, right
Blood in my eyes, but feeling good enough to run up and touch the sky
Knowing nothings a surprise
See it a mile away like Veronique in disguise
X marks the birth certificate I never signed
A boy genius bloodline, but I ain't never met him
Maybe he in Johannesburg or maybe Beckham
Or shopping out in Shortage
Pardon my annoyance
My 800 thousand should get him everything he wanted
He ask about his daddy tell him everything important
Meaning don't tell him nothing, leave me out them discussions
Yo you remember Oushay writing raps about this neighborhood and all this coke craze
Singing fuck the police and everybody obeyed
You see the shit he went through
Government followed him too
Thank you South Central
Yo you remember John with the glasses and the camcorder glued to his palms
Wanting to tell the story of how everything went wrong
In spite of what I did do, he made it out this shit too
Thank you South Central
Walking up and down, 56 me and yo yo
In front of my momma house way after it foreclosed
He looked at my condition and based on how I'm living and what I did to our block it's like if I became the logo
But shit I got a bottle of Jack from up out of yo yo
And chains don't link no more
My momma broke those
I know why the caged bird sings, but I ain't have range
Till I was able to get out of the cage of my last name
And naming everything this black boy done accomplished
Nobody would ever believe if we being honest
So daddy you finally understood
The taste of letting go, I find to be just as good
[Chorus]
This is my freedom dance
But don't dance with me
Look at everybody else who took a chance with me
Now when I dance
Dont dance with me
Look at everyone who tried to hold hands with me
See it feels
So much better when you dancing on your own
Your dance partners in the broken mirrors in your home
So when I dance
Dont dance with me
Look at everyone who tried to hold hands with me
Freedom dance
Dont dance with me
Look at everyone who tried to take a chance
Freedom dance
[Refrain]
