Land of the Free

[00:23.22] I eat and breath just like you
[00:25.54] I even bleed just like you
[00:27.46] I'm just like you
[00:28.67] I got my own fam just like you
[00:30.89] And I'll do anything I can for em just like you
[00:33.58] I mean
[00:34.33] I know we all want the same for our kids
[00:36.72] A future that is better than the life that we lived
[00:39.18] Praying to a higher power hoping something would give
[00:42.18] Not knowing if it even exists
[00:44.30] Yea I'm just like you
[00:45.90] But I didn't grow just like you
[00:48.06] So I don't know just like you
[00:49.93] I was never taught to read how can I succeed just like you
[00:53.46] I wish that I could dream just like you
[00:55.42] I know it's crazy but
[00:56.45] It's easy to see you don't have to agree
[00:59.15] When you dig into the roots we all apart of the tree
[01:01.98] The only difference in you and the person in me
[01:05.07] Is I ain't from the land of the free just like you
[01:09.36] Land of the free
[01:11.37] Land of the free
[01:14.16] Imagine everything I could be
[01:16.02] If I was only from the land of the free
[01:20.41] Land of the free
[01:25.35] Imagine everything I could be
[01:27.24] If I was only from the land of the free
[01:31.38] I hear a lot of y'all are upset there
[01:33.95] Saying we dont have the right to step there
[01:36.69] But if everything was fine where we are then nah
[01:39.02] We wouldn't all be dying tryna get there
[01:42.08] You hear the stories and what they say
[01:45.23] You see the photos and look away
[01:48.08] They're picking our bodies up everyday
[01:50.35] Tryna make it to the land of free
[01:52.53] We've been deprived of our peace
[01:54.27] Ain't no food for a feast
[01:55.57] Been no sleep since the gangs over ran the police
[01:58.25] They raping all of the women kidnapping kids in the street
[02:01.06] They shut down all the schools so there ain't no one to teach
[02:03.96] They tell me I gotta join or I'll be dead in a week
[02:06.75] It's nothing I can avoid cuz they gon' mark me as weak
[02:09.56] I got a daughter that's 2 and I don't want her to see
[02:12.32] This side of life I just wish she could be
[02:14.69] From the land of the free
[02:16.83] Land of the free
[02:19.16] Land of the free
[02:21.84] Imagine everything she could be
[02:23.69] If she was only from the land of the free
[02:28.14] Land of the free
[02:33.13] Imagine everything she could be
[02:35.14] If she was only from the land of the free
[02:39.20] Theres a lil me in all of us
[02:41.99] Can't Imagine how scared my daughter was
[02:43.87] A thousand miles to border was the distance
[02:46.23] So for instance we were walking from New Jersey to Florida
[02:49.93] That's a long way ain't it
[02:51.22] Yea I know
[02:52.51] Imagine not being able to use the road
[02:54.89] Cuz the second that your spotted your cover forever blown
[02:57.61] And that's the moment your whole family is gone
[02:59.33] It's not a game
[03:00.57] More than tired
[03:01.35] Delusion is creeping into my brain
[03:03.62] Carrying my kid cuz she weak from the hunger pains
[03:06.22] But we would of already been dead if we woulda stayed
[03:08.98] So I'd rather risk it all tryna make it another day
[03:11.69] And I don't know what's in store
[03:13.10] But we gon' make it for sure
[03:14.63] Even if I gotta swim us to shore by any means
[03:17.46] I refuse to sit back and be a victim of war
[03:20.06] I'll break my back to give my family more
[03:22.29] You tryna tell me
[03:23.12] If the place you call home wasn't safe anymore
[03:25.88] And your country didn't have any law
[03:27.88] With no future for your kids while y'all sat there starving and poor
[03:31.46] You wouldn't die tryna make it across?
[03:33.73] Just like me?
[03:35.83] For the land of the free
[03:38.24] Land of the free
[03:40.97] Imagine everything that we'd be
[03:42.85] If we'd of made it to the land of the free
[03:47.39] Land of the free
[03:52.18] Imagine everything that we'd be
[03:53.93] If we'd of made it to the land of the free
[03:57.36]
