Freedom

[Hook: Courtney Orlando] Growing up in the South Where we get it how we live Looking for a way out So show a young boy pity Momma told me trouble wouldn't last always Baby keep on living there'll be brighter days Can you tell me when the pain will go away? That's when I heard the preacher say Do you really want to know about freedom? (Yes, I do)(x2) I never knew that I was living, I was living (x4) Until now [Verse 1: Alex Faith] We come from the land of bullet holes and gold teeth Where blunts be full of dro that they roll as we blow trees But I was raised in South Atlanta we never seen palm trees No vacations all that they tell us is just palms means But knowing that these Pharaohs ain't never could hold me And in the end we win, kings is what we gon be But I'm walking through my life and never knew that I was living We ain't poverty stricken, but man you gotta be kidding Saying make the best of opportunities you given Man I gotta better chance at scratching lottery tickets Stay in school for twelve years, diploma freaking worthless When school shootings don't make the news it ain't working I repeat myself so you can know about the realness I got smoke all in my lung boy, I don't know about forgiveness Introduction to the Father now I gotta be a witness Every spirit that's inside of me I'm feeling kind of fearless Yeah [Hook: Courtney Orlando] [Verse 2: Alex Faith] I crashed landed now I'm live from the south side It ain't about the money then they know they wasting my time The school system, police and city government been under serving so all of my people struggling Homies that ride with me who ain't never made it further than the ninth grade or got locked on charges, but they hurdle them Living for the bass in the trunk and loud weed Pour liquor, another life taken just last week Cigarettes and beer we just reduce it to the villain Taking everyone around me the companies making a killing This is deep south rebel flags and camo outfits Chevy pickups and impalas you know its crowded Saying that you better put your money where your mouth is Don't ignore the floss baby this is what the south is Bloodlines stand tall to oppositions Trusting in the only Son who purchased my position Yeah [Spoken: Alex Faith} I mean when I say pride we just raised that way I never knew what life really was My man came over there we just making conversations talking about life and what it really is Knowing now that freedom is found in God. And He's the source of what life really is [Hook: Courtney Orlando] Do you really want to know about freedom? (Yes, I do)(x3) I never knew that I was living, I was living (x2) So everybody say Yes i do(x8)
