Freedom (Dallas' Dirty Half Dozen Mix)
Written:D.Austin/J.Gillaim/J.Kirkland Arranger:Dallas Austin
(Theme From Panther)
Now this is time for free your mind and your soul Yo half this story has never been told Ladies that got to demand what you want And what we want is respect, right Yo listen up on the track here So we could feel a little bit right Freedom every time For the sisters Check us, watch this
A here we go now Listen if I'm Pompadour I be the ruler like Slick Rick Get with this quick wicked Adidas-wearing chick Poppa got a brand new bag Momma got a brand new jag Go tag, I ain't no old hag I represent not only in the kitchen And the bedroom room But also in the board room So give me more room Deny my opportunity You in jeopardy Yo-Yo set me free And don't hinder me Let me be
I'm fighting for freedom I got the heat in case you need 'em A straight soldier Ain't nobody told you Hold up on them lies I know you gazing your plans Doing whatever you can to oppress demand But when it's time to drop the bomb Bring the funk and it's on You say you never met a sister so strong You're wrong now how can we be free If it takes you and it takes me To blend together in harmony And peace and love and all of the above Sisters coming together representing one love No disrespect but we gotta get it together No matter what's the weather Sisters gotta stick together If sisters be strong Don't let them scare you wrong Hold on cuz sisters got it going on Yeah
Chorus: Let's free your mind and your soul Don't let no guys go and take control Because you're woung and you played a wrong And our story has never been told
Whoever said these are the things that you can do And the things you ain't supposed to So am I further when I think I'm getting closer That's when I tend to think of Rosa Who took a seat to take a stand But now in standing we've gotten more demands And they never thought and planned That a wish for us to sit would be a dose of This fucking rollercoaster Whether tradition or religion Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Why you question my decision Why you spend up all your time trying to Get into my mind Why everybody and their mama Got to add to all the drama (mad drama) Hell if I'm gonna keep my dominating feministic hell Creating CrazySexyCool black ass In the palms so you player hater stands My only chance of being free is to fly within me And it's illegal to kill a fucking eagle A bird is never more important than my people I guess we didn't need him so I took away his freedom
Chorus
My spiritual awareness leads me to believe That you doubt in the sisters To come with the peace we've been together Since God created all of Thee African daughters celebration is in order Pop the cork and give champagne to the stork That brought the Lyte to my momma in New York African I come again and again You kick me down I get back up I'm coming back in multiples of ten
You know where I come from Swung from the belly of the beast Who used to speak African tongue So I showed her next one bolder Swung the devil over my shoulder I'm getting over cuz I'm bolder than the next I'm enlightened cuz I speak the real truth from the text Who's next to flex with this S-I-S-T-E-R The sun the moon the crest and the stars Wanna see how open you are
Chorus
Come and take a walk with me Closer walk with thee See what only I can see Nobody knows the trouble's I've seen So it's back to the ruler of everlasting life And truth let the heaven of the system Sister embrace you and praise the mother God Come in to the light let it shine blackness is fine The blackness of your skin The blackness of your mind
I am who I am and that's who I be And I don't give a damn if your eyes can't see If you can't see what I can see Then you're blind baby blind I'm a woman who's black so back up back up Cuz it's on I'm strong what's wrong With the world that we're living on It ain't who you know it ain't what you drive It's all about how you feel about yourself On the inside when your self-esteem is low And they call you a ho then they think you's a ho But that ain't what the Lord God made you to be I need you to see you're black and you're free
