We Want Freedom Lyrics - Let's Get Free - Dead Prez

I was born black, I live black 

And I'ma die probably because I'm black 

Because some cracker that knows I'm black 

Better than you nigga, is probably gonna put 

A bullet in the back of my head! 

 

Yeah our lives fucked up, no doubt 

All this shit we go through every day 

Sometimes a nigga don't know what the fuck to do 

But see I got my niggas 

 

And we gone organize a people army 

And we gone get control over our own lives 

And I mean that shit right there from the bottom of my shit 

I Ching 

 

Yeah, yeah imagine havin no runnin water to drink 

Chemicals contaminate the pipes leadin to your sink 

Just think, if the grocery stores close they doors 

And they saturate the streets with tanks and start martial law 

 

Would you be ready for civil war 

Could you take the life of somebody you know 

Or have feelings for if necessary? I got cousins in the military 

But far as I'm concerned they died, when they registered 

 

Yo, this world is oh so cold, I think about my ancestors 

Being sold, and it make me wanna break the mold 

Fuck the gold and the party, train yourself, clean your shottie 

Tell me what you gone do to get free, we need more than MC's 

 

We need Hueys, and revolutionaries 

The niggas on the streets today, it's kinda scary 

The smell around my way ain't roses or strawberries 

In fact it's kinda poisonous, bringing out the boy in us 

 

But I'ma stand up on my own, like a man do 

Dominate the land and make wealth, like Fu-Manchu 

Yes the peoples army stick together like glue 

We represent the I-Ching and to this we stand true 

 

Military formation, anyone participation is welcome 

Each one teach one, son help son 

Just one gun is all it take to get it started 

Living in the wilderness of the west we cold hearted 

 

If you don't think it could happen think again my son 

Be prepared for the worst that's yet to come 

We want freedom, prophecies and ancient wisdom 

Cataclysm, niggas be like fuck the system 

 

I don't wanna be no movie star, I don't wanna drive no fancy car 

I just wanna be free, to live my life, to live my own life 

 

If you don't think it could happen think again my son 

Be prepared for the worst that's yet to come 

We want freedom, prophecies and ancient wisdom 

Cataclysm, niggas be like fuck the system 

 

I don't wanna be no movie star, I don't wanna drive no fancy car 

I just wanna be free, to live my life, to live my own life 

 

Yeah, I'm for peace 

But I'll kill ya if ya fuck with my moms or my niece 

See we all want peace, but the problem is 

Crackers want a bigger piece 

 

Got it where the niggas can't get a piece 

That's why police get stabbed and shot 

'Cuz a nigga can't eat if the ave is hot 

Locked up you get three hot meals and one cot 

 

Then you sit and rot, never even got a fair shot 

That's where a whole lotta niggas end up 

My man moms even got sent up, tryin to keep the rent up 

When I'm bent up I think alot about the reason I'm here 

 

I think about the things I fear in the comin years 

Ahead of me, I'm ready for whatever they bring though 

I'd go against a tank wit a shank for my dreams 

And that's my fuckin' word 

 

One day the whole world will smoke herb 

And niggas won't get took to jail for hangin on the curb 

 

If you don't think it could happen think again my son 

Be prepared for the worst that's yet to come 

We want freedom, prophecies and ancient wisdom 

Cataclysm, niggas be like fuck the system 

 

I don't wanna be no movie star, I don't wanna drive no fancy car 

I just wanna be free, to live my life, to live my own life 

 

If you don't think it could happen think again my son 

Be prepared for the worst that's yet to come 

We want freedom, prophecies and ancient wisdom 

Cataclysm, niggas be like fuck the system 

 

I don't wanna be no movie star, I don't wanna drive no fancy car 

I just wanna be free, to live my life, to live my own life 

 

I don't wanna be no movie star, I don't wanna drive no fancy car 

I just wanna be free, to live my life, to live my own life 

 

If you don't think it could happen think again my son 

Be prepared for the worst that's yet to come 

We want freedom, prophecies and ancient wisdom 

Cataclysm, niggas be like fuck the system 

 

I don't wanna be no movie star, I don't wanna drive no fancy car 

I just wanna be free, to live my life, to live my own life 

Are you remember?
