Freedom Is Not Free


I said, "How long will it take?" I mean, we've seen the same mistakes Ain't it crazy after all this We're still waiting for change And the faces are the same The pain, it still remains Tired of it all but really who is there to blame? The system, the victims, the money or fame? The power, the hour, the looks or the name? But whatever the claim We need to make a change We are here to stay So all my people, can I hear you say! No justice, No peace No muderous police They say liberty for all But freedom is not free Its time to break down these walls Of animosity Its time to fight for our justice and equality & we've seen it all before Rooted deep within our history Made some improvements But there is still no victory Don't shoot, Hands up Unite and stand up Fight back and man up One more brother down We need back up! Its time for a change Real action, real pain We might look different But were all the same Man, this system is so distorted To change that, im for it No freedom till were equal Damn right I support it.
