Q Ham - Free (I Just Gotta Be Me) Lyrics

Currency means nothing if you still ain't free
Take this game from me

Something that slaves searched for all of their life
Became an ambition embedded in my heart that I dreamt about every night
The Underground Railroad to freedom of self
Was a testament of health that restricted my wealth
I moved with stealth
Through the woods of negativity
A rebel infantry on the search for mild serenity
Watch the enemy
They're gaining ground moving closer
They sent the hounds just to chase me down
I showed much resilience
They were astounded by my brilliance
Tried to trap my mind using malicious mental sealants
To conceal it so I wouldn't be someone they'd have to deal with
If you kill the head then the body'll fall I had to give it my all
I couldn't stall couldn't hold nothing back
Had to stay focused though they tried to knock me off track
I'm telling this to you just so you can see
That in the end I just gotta be me living free

Currency means nothing if you still ain't free
Money breeds jealousy take this game from me
I hope for better days trouble comes naturally
Running from authorities til they capture me

And I'ma keep running as long as my stunning lyrics keep humming
It's like a clearance sale that keeps the customers coming
A blessing that uplifts your essence
It brings food to the poor and delivers plenty riches to peasants
Or the peasant minded
I brought my girl an expensive diamond
She can see I was trying so she accepted the offer
But was it love or was it infatuation
My fascination only intensified our situation
Though she wasn't h* that was chasing after my dough
My feelings still changed more than models at a fashion show girl I have to go
This load is too much to carry
Plus it's scary cause now I'm feeling too young to be married
I'm not saying that I don't ever want you in my life
But at this moment I really don't need you as my wife
Maybe one day a marriage and some kids we'll see
But for now I just gotta be me living free

Currency means nothing if you still ain't free
Money breeds jealousy take this game from me
So I just gotta be me
Yea, I just gotta be free
Currency means nothing if you still ain't free
Money breeds jealousy take this game from me
So I just gotta be me
Yea, I just gotta be free

To all my soldiers overseas that just wanna be free
To all my sailors overseas that just wanna be free
Victims of contract slavery I applaud your bravery
Hold ya head and soon you'll be out the same as me
To my prisoners locked down that wanna be free
Whether guilty or innocent it doesn't matter me
Whether you're serving life or serving the death penalty
Accept the Lord as your savior and set your soul free
Knowledge is power so children free your minds
Learn to educate yourself so you can see through the lies and falsified claims
Break through the shackles and chains
Dare to be different set the trend then after that maintain
Temptation might drive you insane
But exercise greater self-restraint so that you can learn to refrain
Let this message wear on your brain then take in the streets
Let others follow your lead so we can all be free
Think about it
Let's free ourselves, c'mon

Currency means nothing if you still ain't free
Money breeds jealousy take this game from me
So I just gotta be me
Yea, I just gotta be free
Currency means nothing if you still ain't free
Money breeds jealousy take this game from me
So I just gotta be me
Yea, I just gotta be free

Currency means nothing if you still ain't free
Take this game from me
Yea, yea free to live
