ashun khimosaabi & kofi taylor - freedom lyrics

[intro: malcolm x]
i will never say that progress is being made
if you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there’s no progress
if you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress
the progress is healing the wound that the blow made
and they haven’t even begun to pull the knife out, much less heal the wound
they won’t even admit the knife is there

[verse 1: khimosaabi]
do you really know what it means to be free?
do you really understand?
do you know how it feels to be out of a leash?
have you ever been chained, ever been in the belly of the beast?
okay then, allow me to speak my piece chale mans gotta preach, capeesh?
let them hear this
in the streets, in the cribs and the churches
that we free from the grips of the spectres
that we free from the tricks of the serpents
tryna make us live on our knees, in oppression
that’s why we reach for the keys to our essence
we gon reach till they feel our presence
till they feel how we feel, we gon press till our freedom is streamed on they screens by the press
yeah…stay woke…yeah

[verse 2: kofi taylor]
akɛ ohia ela gbɔmɔ kuɛ (we’re noosed with poverty)
so we can’t reach beyond depths
when we try we get hanged by our own hopes
no joke
die and get buried in more debt
see to the truth to the lie is a fact
the fact that we lie is the truth
but our voice don’t sound to the proof
reason why these leaders keep spinning us in circles
only time we get kept in the loop
please be advised
you’re free to decide
decide to be free? that’s a wishful desire
ibi change we require
if we for preach to the pastor, we might as well sing to the choir
i hope that they widen the scope
and reminding the folks that they giving em rope
imagine the margin this movement will close
on our journey to freedom but man we still building the road
taylor
