Freedom Ain't Free Lyrics - William L. Johnson

(1st Verse) 

I was always told to be inside 

when the streetlights came on. 

Got used to the same song, 

still I did something wrong. 

Never get Miss lead out in them streets, 

listen to them streets they tell you what you need, 

when you're stuck in poverty. 

It's hard to play stick up 

when they got the eyes on you, 

find something else to do, 

when you think that you want to do wrong. 

My grandma said 

you better off dead 

when you can sleep at night, 

freedom ain't free when ya on the run, 

you get 25 if you use a gun. 

(chorus) 

Freedom ain't free 

don't believe the lies 

right before your eyes 

something just ain't right. 

Freedom ain't free 

the writings on the wall 

hear the masters call Babylon will fall. 

(2nd Verse) 

In democracy, 

of personal rights of liberty. 

Independence for you 

not independence for me. 

Perception not the same 

civil arrests in the major cities. 

The have not's will take control 

for more than just one day. 

I and I has more in plan 

than follow through with the other man, 

it's been a long time 

and the time is now 

we want our freedom no money down. 

(chorus) 

Freedom ain't free 

don't believe the lies 

right before your eyes 

something just ain't right.
