"I JUST WANNA BE FREE"

I just wanna be free, get out of this place

This shit is not me...

I JUST WANNA BE FREE!

get out of this place

So, I gotta go get that money oh oh oh

Money Money Money is gonna free me

But there is not just money on my mind

Money Money Money is gonna free me

But there is not just money on my mind...

i used to do a part time job

Been thru the hard time

Before the limelight

Before I got here to this place

Take the cage out

Some bad situations I never tell anyone

What is goin on, in on

i keep it until its gone its gone its gone

Its only me that would understand

No need to say anything

Got thru with me, myself and I

The path I chose nobody taught me how yea yeah

sometime I poured my heart out, but never got it back

Every action they took it was for their own back

At first, they came off good, then stabbed me in the back frequently...

They just wanna use my name

You can’t stand on your own my friend

I know you wanna be me, but….

I JUST WANNA BE FREE!

get out of this place

This shit is not me

I JUST WANNA BE FREE

get out of this place

So I gotta go get that money oh oh oh

Money Money Money is gonna free me

But there is not just money on my mind

Money Money Money is gonna free me

But there is not just money on my mind

Get out from people who don’t see my value

Get out before I lose my temper

I left all that shit behind

got out with my Balenciaga

Walking out to the seaside

Listening to Illslick gives me an inspi

Especially when I got no one

All I got is songs from Mr. Legendary

Where I am standing now

They tryna take something from me, Anybody

But don’t forget the intent

I do it for myself and my friends and family

This is what he told me

Look at the watch dude that a Rollie

The fame that I carry

I sometimes put it down, just smokin import from Cali

Now I don’t need no new friends

I just want people who stay the same

I poured my heart out enough...

How many times do I get hurt?...

I JUST WANNA BE FREE!

get out of this place

This shit is not me

I JUST WANNA BE FREE!

get out of this place

So, I gotta go get that money oh oh oh

Money Money Money is gonna free me

But there is not just money on my mind

Money Money Money is gonna free me

But there is not just money on my mind

I don’t use Violence to solve problems

but don’t force me

A lot of people say they wanna hurt me

but I don’t know if they will come yet

Even if I’m dying you still lose

All you do is lie, don’t you compare me

Making up sh*t...

and even if I die my family still rich

Pussy, f**kin pussy boy

Spendin your girl’s money you should stop it boy

Some people just make face

Get da f**k away, sorry that I’m not available

I did everything on my own

i don’t have to be snooty

maybe you can win me in some other multiverse

tell all my g stay back

Every word you say, people know it doesn’t make sense

(contradict)

I got everything cause of music

I never think harm for anyone

I depend on myself

I don’t gotta sell no one

Pretend to be my friend

I remember with every breath

You came here only for fame

at the end you must be gone...

ahh

I’m an artist, and I’m just in love with the melody

i don't understand why anybody wants to be my enemy

I only care my family, give them no more my energy uh………..

"Thatthong Sound" is coming to town...
