I need freedom
All I seem to do to pass the time is heavy drinking
I need to escape my monotonous surroundings
I'm surrounded by things that seem to bring nothing but a closer grave and headaches in the morning
Blank minded and dry as I drink enough water to drown in
I need freedom
I need to finally touch love that will never leave or tell me to leave a message after the tone
Leaving me in limbo bent over backwards satin idle words that mean nothing
I want my muse to be a woman that I can call forever that only cries in times of joy
A queen that can remove my shackles of the past and depression so that I may hold her and never have a reason to let go
Free me
I am a man that loves my people even when they don't love themselves
Watching blood shed from black skin in the grass when we should be waving Marcus Garvey's colors
We are our own worst enemies
Never acknowledging the wisdom that we were once kept from
Scattering like roaches when ignorance is nowhere to be found spending money on things that hold no value
Being happily force fed poison by the media
Never supporting our own
Perpetuating the "crab in a bucket" mentality
Never standing up for what's real
WE NEED FREEDOM!!!
