FreedomVarious Artists including TLC (from "Panther" Soundtrack) |
We will not bow down to racism
We will not bow down to injustice
We will not bow down to exploitation
I'm gon' stand, I'm gon' standNow this is time for free your mind and your soul
Yo our official story has never been told
Ladies you got to demand what you want
And what we want is respect, right
Come and take a walk with me a closer walk
With me see what only I can see
Sisters check this, watch thisFreedom
Turn us through set us free
From all the chains that bind me
Let us run in our own direction
Let us go set us free
From all this propaganda and lies
That your people tried to teach us
I know why you would like to bring us down
Because we have all the dirt on you
You tried to tell us that our lives don't mean a thing
But we know so much better so we're gonna
Take a free freedomChorus:
Freedom
Freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spirit
Freedom
Freedom for my body
Freedom for my mind
Freedom for my spiritAll this time you've been telling us these lies
But now we've finally figured out your game
You thought that we would never wise up
But we showed you how a black female can do her thing
But still you continue to keep us oppressed
But now we ain't going out like that, oh no no
All these lies and all this propaganda
You want us to take
We ain't gonna take itChorus
I see the fear in your eyes surprised
Your cover's been blown
I know just who I am and what I want to do
I can make you run
Make you hide from all your ancestors
Transgressions that you hold inside
Sisters rising up and seeing that our time is here
We're taking back what's been ours for years
Let the heaven of the system embrace you
And praise the mother God
All these lies and all this propaganda
That you want us to take
We ain't gonna take itFree free free
