Beyoncé - Freedom (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder
Tell the storm I’m new
I’m a wall
Come and march on the regular
Painting with flags blue

Lord, forgive me
I’ve been running, running blind in truth
I’m a rain, I’m a rain on this bitter love
Tell the sweet I’m new
I’m telling these tears: “Go and fall away, fall away”
May the last one burn into flames

Freedom, freedom!
I can’t move
Freedom
Cut me loose!
Singing: ”Freedom, freedom, where are you?”
Coz I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself
Won’t let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I’m a keep running
Coz a winner don’t quit on themselves

I’m a wade, I’m a wave through the waters
Tell the tide “Don’t move!”
I’m a riot, I’m a riot through your borders
Call me ”Bulletproof”

Lord, forgive me
I’ve been running, running blind in truth
I’m a rain, I’m a rain on this bitter love
Tell the sweet I’m new
I’m telling these tears: “Go and fall away, fall away”
May the last one burn into flames

Freedom, freedom!
I can’t move
Freedom
Cut me loose!
Singing: ”Freedom, freedom, where are you?”
Coz I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself
Won’t let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I’m a keep running
Coz a winner don’t quit on themselves

[Kendric Lamar:]

Ten Hail marys, I mediate for practice
Channel 9 news tells me I’m moving backwards
8 blocks left, death is around me
7 misleading statements about my persona
6 headlings waving in my direction
5-O asking me what’s in the aqueducts
Fire hydrands and hazardous
Smoke alarms on the back of us
But, mama, don’t cry for me - ride for me
Try for me, live for me
Breath for me, sing for me
Code on me, drive on me
Wicked, my spirit inspired me
Like, open correctional gates in higher desert
Open our minds as we cast away oppression
Open the streets and watch our beliefs
And when they carve my name inside concrete
I’ll pray it forever reads

Freedom, freedom!
I can’t move
Freedom
Cut me loose!
Singing: ”Freedom, freedom, where are you?”
Coz I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself
Won’t let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I’m a keep running
Coz a winner don’t quit on themselves

[Kendric Lamar:]

What you want from me?
Is it truth you seek?
Father, can you hear me?
What you want from me?
Is it truth you seek?
Father, can you hear me?
Hear me out!
