lyrics

I am not free, till everybody free

Oh what a type of day
All up inside my rage
Who could provide a remedy
I took some away x2

I just need that freedom
Yeah I feed off that
The thought of my people up
Got my tears on shed
They don't ever see us
Unless they see us bent
They don't know me
They don't wanna know me
They don't know history

Or story of the daughter
We bringing in the hour
For who is of the future
We got this work get caught up

I am not free, till everybody free

Oh what a type of day
All up inside my rage
Who could provide a remedy
I took some away x2

I just wanna be in the land of the Black folk, land of the Brown folk
Who I'm around, oh
I wish I was more
I'm on an island
Just to make you jams and heal all my power
Blindfolds over their eyes no surprise
But Aquarius deliver the light, wash the grime yeah
Pile of what they pushed aside on they spine
And the folks that they forgotten in life put them in line, yeah
Too much waiting, too much sittin'
We done built the newest city
What they said we can't do, we did it
We done overthrew the pity

I am not free, till everybody free

Oh what a type of day
All up inside my rage
Who could provide a remedy
I took some away x2

Oooh, the fight isn't over x2
