You can't save me from my darkness
You can't save me from myself
In this world one can become heartless
When your skin tone makes you target
I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)

Free from the judgment
Free from all the shame
Free from all the madness
Free from all the chains
Road to liberation birth into the pain
Nights of devastation, things won't be same (free)

I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)

God gives his toughest soldier
Some the roughest battles but I live to tell you
I'm a vessel
Every hard time is a lesson just to test you
We ain't have a silver spoon in our utensils
Drugs had a hold on mine and they potential
Lock us all up like dogs stuck in the system
Treat us like we ain't human, like we ain't victims

Meanwhile white man walk but killing senseless
Black Lives Matter, a shame it's even mentioned
Black boy was gunned down, that's in my mentions
Every other day, gun sounds ring in the trenches
Never know when it's your time, I need forgiveness
I pray for my tribe, we on ascension
My mind is light years from comprehension
My goal is to heal the pre-existing

I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)

Nobody's perfect, still on that mission
I'm still in a battle with self and my privilege
My pride is relentless especially when triggered
I'm still out here grieving some people that's missing
I been out here facing them demons, been ditching
I hope you happy with all your decisions

You can't save me from my darkness
You can't save me from myself
In this world one can become heartless
When your skin tone makes you target
I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)

Free from the judgment
Free from all the shame
Free from all the madness
Free from all the chains
Road to liberation, birth into the pain
Nights of devastation, things won't be same (free)

I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
