You can't save me from my darkness
00:18
You can't save me from myself
00:23
In this world one can become heartless
00:28
When your skin tone makes you a target
00:33
I just wanna be free (free)
00:37
I just wanna be free (free)
00:42
Free from the judgment, free from all the shame
00:47
Free from all the madness, free from all the chains
00:50
Road to liberation, birth into the pain
00:52
Nights of devastation, things won't be the same (free)
00:55
I just wanna be free (free)
01:00
I just wanna be free (free)
01:06
God gives his toughest soldiers some the roughest battles but
01:18
I live to tell you I'm a vessel
01:20
Every hard time is a lesson just to test you
01:24
We ain't have a silver spoon in our utensils
01:27
Drugs had a hold on mine and they potential
01:30
Lock us all up like dogs stuck in the system
01:33
Treat us like we ain't human, like we ain't victims
01:35
Meanwhile white men walk but killing senseless
01:38
Black Lives Matter, a shame it's even mentioned
01:41
Black boy was gunned down, that's in my mentions
01:43
Every other day gun sounds ring in the trenches
01:46
Never know when it's your time, I need forgiveness
01:48
I pray for my tribe, we on ascension
01:51
My mind is light years from comprehension
01:53
My goal is to heal the pre-existing
01:56
01:58
Nobody's perfect, still on that mission
02:00
I'm still in a battle with self and my privilege
02:03
My pride is relentless especially when triggered
02:06
I'm still out here grieving some people that's missing
02:09
I been out here facing them demons, been ditching
02:11
I hope you happy with all your decisions
02:14
You can't save me from my darkness
02:16
You can't save me from myself
02:21
In this world one can become heartless
02:26
When your skin tone makes you target
02:31
I just wanna be free (free)
02:35
I just wanna be free (free)
02:39
02:41
Free from the judgment, free from all the shame
02:45
Free from all the madness, free from all the chains
02:47
Road to liberation, birth into the pain
02:50
Nights of devastation, things won't be same (free)
02:53
I just wanna be free (free)
02:57
I just wanna be free (free)
03:03

[English]
You can't save me from my darknessYou can't save me from myself
In this world one can become heartless
When your skin tone makes you a target
I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
Free from the judgment, free from all the shame
Free from all the madness, free from all the chains
Road to liberation, birth into the pain
Nights of devastation, things won't be the same (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
God gives his toughest soldiers some the roughest battles but
I live to tell you I'm a vessel
Every hard time is a lesson just to test you
We ain't have a silver spoon in our utensils
Drugs had a hold on mine and they potential
Lock us all up like dogs stuck in the system
Treat us like we ain't human, like we ain't victims
Meanwhile white men walk but killing senseless
Black Lives Matter, a shame it's even mentioned
Black boy was gunned down, that's in my mentions
Every other day gun sounds ring in the trenches

I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
Free from the judgment, free from all the shame
Free from all the madness, free from all the chains
Road to liberation, birth into the pain
Nights of devastation, things won't be same (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
I just wanna be free (free)
