Be Free Feat. Donny Hathaway

lyrics

My President is black, just like me/
so ain't no telling what my daughter can be/
ain't no limit to the possiblities/
pollinate my seeds, like a colony of bees/

sweet nectar, sweet honey comb/
we want the top suite with our money long/
cause ain't nothing sweet when your money gone/
feel the stress from your feet to your funny bone/

on the phone try to make the bank get the hint/
that we over here trying to make dollars make sense/
got the money food, now we trying to make rent/
got dame, empty pockets only make lent/

but No lonely days spent, with the love of my fam/
make fela mention with belonie and spam/
materially poor, but we spiritual rich/
so I keep the dream of freedom on the tip of my lips/

put it in the air, let burn slow
my dogs die where the red fern grows/
trying to walk the straight path like a permed fro/
cause to make the best butter you gotta churn slow/

Never learned though, like we can't read/
How to keep our business out the street like TMZ
I wanna skip to the front like VIP/
But got to wait in line like the DMV/

yeah cause haste makes waste/
rushing destiny is how bad fate takes place
stakes is high, so is my cousin/
He got a drug problem but the family still love him/

The family still break him of bread, he smoke it up/
Blaming ourselves like we didn't hope enough/
or pray enough, to make the skies open up/
We just want to set him free from that dope and stuff/
