Artist: Lupe Fiasco Album: Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free) (S) Song: Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free) Typed by: Gemini_20502K@Yahoo.com [Intro] Yeah! Great american! rap resurrecccccccctttttttttt!!!! Rest in peace Young M! Pourin live from the, sound Uh! POURIN LIVE FROM THE SET! YEAH! [Verse One] First off say peace to Pine Ridge Shame to all the damage that the white man wine did Ghost dance, Trail of Tears, five million beers a year And all that other crime did More peace to the teachers of blind kids To rap bells in small cells keepin they mind big Say everything's hostile, suicide bombers And prosperity gospel, emaciated models With cocaine and blood pourin out they nostrils They got to, just to stay awake On the catwalk of life where everybody watch you Straight hair, high heels and a hand bag Crucifixes, racism and a land grab Katrina, Fema trailors, human body, sandbags A peace sign and a pants sag A money toss cost a non stripper mad dash A friend request, a follow and a hash tag Now everybody want it like the last laugh A Michael Jackson jacket or a gas mask Purple Jordan's or that mixed girl in your math class Stable is when the Ba'ath had Baghdad But corporate jets really had to have that gas bad War and they hope they all fall from the rat-a-tat 'Cause that's just more dinosaur for the Cadillacs [Chorus] Live from the other side what you see?! A bunch of nonsense on my TV Heaven on earth is what I need When I feel I'm in hell everytime I breathe Pourin live from the other side what you hear?! A bunch of nonsense all in my ear Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay 'Cause freedom ain't free 'specially 'round my way [Verse Two] And! We! Marvel at the state of art of man And turn around and treat Ghana like a garbage can America's a big motherfuckin garbage man If you ain't know you part and parcel of the probah lam You say no you ain't, and I say yes you is Soon as you find out what planned obsolescense is You say no they didn't, and I say yes they did The definition of unnecessary is.....manifested Say that we should protest just to get arrested That goes against all my hustlin ethics A bunch of jail niggas say it's highly uneffective Depart from Martin, connect on Malcolm X tip Insert Baldwin it's similar to separate To me, the truth is more fulfillin than the method Of findin really fast internet to have some sex with It's all one song short of a set list Couple croissants shy of a continental breakfast Or blowin out your birthday candles just to make a death wish So absurd word to Chief Bone Necklace Down at the Lakota Sioux casino A whole culture boiled down to giving you Pokeno I go as left as a heart in the chest 'Cause the Horn of Africa's now starvin to death! [Chorus] Live from the other side what you see?! A bunch of nonsense on my TV Heaven on earth is what I need When I feel I'm in hell everytime I breathe Pourin live from the other side what you hear?! A bunch of nonsense all in my ear Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay 'Cause freedom ain't free 'specially 'round my way [Verse Three] In all white Los Angeles the dream of Mr. Chandler Hope and pray they take Columbus Day up off the calendar South Central an example of God's gifts So shout to all the mothers raisin' babies in spa six The projects of Oakland city, Detroit, ghost town Monopoly's on poverty where d boy coke bound It's parts of Manila like the video for Thriller But the U.S. Embassy is reminiscent of a villa If poverty is chocolate, and privilege vanilla Then what's the flavor of the sunday preacher's pedophilia? Cash rules everything around these niggas!!! There's classrooms everywhere around me with a.... Here where you can be Mr. Burns or Mr. Smithers The tyrant or the slave, but nowhere in the Midler Of the extreme of America's dream Froy find Neo, Freddy Krueger rep from Rainman [Chorus] Live from the other side what you see?! A bunch of nonsense on my TV Heaven on earth is what I need When I feel I'm in hell everytime I breathe Pourin live from the other side what you hear?! A bunch of nonsense all in my ear Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay 'Cause freedom ain't free 'specially 'round my way [Outro] Great American! rap resurrecccccccctttttttttt!!!! Lupe on the....check!!! Uh! Westside! 'Til I die!
