Freedom Ain't Free

Ain't no where to run to

There ain't nothing here for free

If I don't like my life I gut it and rebuild it

Fuck it, keep nothing but God and my children

I kill the devil wherever he resides

Even if he hiding in me he got to die

I killed little Jason he was only fifteen

Sewed his good traits together, made Ali

Filled his lungs with the Koran until he breathe

Let him walk but kept him on a short leash

Here he stand now, seventeen year old man-child

Ain't ask nobody for a muh-fuckin' hand out

He trying to carry heaven on his back

Jumped the broom with a stranger, he ain't never look back

What he know about how the world spin?

Bless his heart he a virgin, never even had a girlfriend

Want to be a man so bad that he can taste it

His family fell apart and he's tryin' to replace it

You'll find in him a heart that is second to none

But I know old soul that his lessons ain't done so

I stand willing to kill him again

If to grow he got to shed his skin then let it be done

Ain't no where to run to

There ain't nothing here for free

See what I see and know that freedom ain't free lord

Ain't no where to run to

There ain't nothing here for free

You'll see what I see and know that freedom ain't free

One half of all the two-leggeds on the scene are too timid to dream

'Cause failure is far too depressing it would seem

So they take what's given

That's your decision, I just don't consider that livin'

Shit, if I'mma die whether or not I try

I might as well let the dice fly

I'm hot knife through butter in the night sky

It shouldn't take a genius to see this hunger in my eye

So I use blood and sweat to butter my bread

'Cause this cold world couldn't give a fuck if I'm fed

I ain't curled up in my bed

If I don't set the world ablaze trust it ain't 'cause of nothing I did

Listen, I don't think God's obligated to touch you

If your ass would rather live in shit than work a shovel

I refuse to let the sun set on me again

'Til the end I'm a one man army, friend

Ain't no where to run to

There ain't nothing here for free

See what I see and know that freedom ain't free lord

Ain't no where to run to

There ain't nothing here for free

You'll see what I see and know that freedom ain't free

Ain't no where to run to

There ain't nothing here for free

See what I see and know that freedom ain't free lord

Ain't no where to run to

There ain't nothing here for free
