Freedom

So I'm gonna close my eyes

And I'm gonna live my life

Despite what you think, I'ma be free

'Cause I'ma be me

So I'm gonna close my eyes

And I'm gonna live my life

Despite what you think, I'ma be free

'Cause I'ma be me

See, I ain't never think that I would have a situation

Where the people around me just envy, I must replace them

See, I always thought that the people that watched me grow

Would wanna see me blow, fa'sho, but little did I know

They ain't never really wanna see me smiling

They couldn't take the fact that I was really shining

And in my heart, I know they wishing I would stop

'Cause they don't want me to rise and be on top

And all that jealousy and hate

Could be right in front of your face

And it's gonna hurt for you to see

But it ain't your fault, just let it be[Chorus (2x)]

So I'm gonna close my eyes

And I'm gonna live my life

Despite what you think, I'ma be free

'Cause I'ma be me

So I'm gonna close my eyes

And I'm gonna live my life

Despite what you think, I'ma be free

'Cause I'ma be me

See, everybody wanna have something to talk about

So they pointing their fingers and always running their mouth

No matter how you try to satisfy someone else

Giving so much of yourself, your love, but it's never enough

The more you give, the more want, and they ain't happy

And they don't see all that you do to make them happy

They don't appreciate it until you walk away

But you don't wanna hear it by now, it's too late

And all that jealousy and hate

Could be right in front of your face

And it's gonna hurt for you to see

But it ain't your fault, just let it be[Chorus]

So I'm gonna close my eyes

And I'm gonna live my life

Despite what you think, I'ma be free

'Cause I'ma be me

So I'm gonna close my eyes

And I'm gonna live my life

Despite what you think, I'ma be free

'Cause I'ma be me

What they don't understand is that I'm gonna keep living my life and surviving

And I'm gonna keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding

'Cause ain't no time to be crying, I been providing with the strength

To carry my weight

And I'm gonna be okay

'Cause I'ma live my life my way

You can say what you want to say

It won't affect the way I'm living, I'm winning by being free again, yeah

So I'm gonna close my eyes

And I'm gonna live my life

Despite what you think, I'ma be free

'Cause I'ma be me

So I'm gonna close my eyes

And I'm gonna live my life

Despite what you think, I'ma be free

'Cause I'ma be me, yeah[Outro]

'Cause it's my life, my life

My life, my life, my life
