Freedom
People walking around doing what they want
trying to be different without the taunt
But as a child freedom involves trust
with parents that can disappear like dust
Destroying that freedom gets you locked up
it's painful to see a child handcuffed
Freedom gone suffer the consequences
just sit there think about all the tenses
Getting letter from your brother brings tears
sitting behing bar because of peers
Learning from older siblings mistakes
doing the right thing may give you a headache
without freedom you wouldn't have successes
go speak your mind, without making a mess
Moving out of the house without the doubt
or fear finding you on the streets knocked out
