flawless real talk - land of the free lyrics

[verse 1]
i eat and breath just like you
i even bleed just like you, i’m just like you
got my own fam just like you
and i’ll do anything i can for ’em, just like you
i mean, i know we all want the same for our kids
a future that is better than the life that we live
praying to a higher power, hoping somethin’ would give
not knowin’ if it even exists, yeah, i’m just like you
but i didn’t grow just like you
so i don’t know just like you, i was never taught
to read, how can i succeed just like you?
i wish that i could dream just like you, i know it’s crazy, but
it’s easy to see, you don’t have to agree
when you dig in the roots we all a part of the tree
the only difference in you and the person in me
is i ain’t from the land of the free just like you

[chorus]
land of the free, haha
land of the free
imagine e’rything i could be
if i was only from the land of the free
land of the free
land of the free
imagine e’rything i could be
if i was only from the land of the free (uh)
[verse 2]
i hear a lot of y’all are upset there
sayin’ we don’t have the right to step there
but if everything was fine where we are then
nah, we wouldn’t all be dyin’ tryna get there
see, you hear the stories and what they say, yeah
you see the photos and look away, yeah
they’re pickin’ our bodies up every day, uh
just tryna make it to the land of free
we been deprived of our peace, ain’t no food for a feast
been no sleep since the gangs overran the police
they rapin’ all of the women, kidnappin’ kids in the street
they shut down all the schools. so there ain’t no one to teach
they tell me i gotta join or i’ll be dead in a week
it’s nuttin’ i can avoid, ’cause they gon’ mark me as weak
i got a daughter that’s two and i don’t want her to see
this side of life, i just wish she could be from the land of the free

[chorus 2]
land of the free, haha
land of the free
imagine e’rything she could be
if she was only from the land of the free
land of the free
land of the free
imagine e’rything she could be
if she was only from the land of the free (look)
[verse 3]
see, there’s a little me in all of us
mhm, can’t imagine how scared my daughter was
a thousand miles to border was the distance
so for instance, we were walkin’ from new jersey to florida
that’s a long way, ain’t it? yeah, i know
imagine not being able to use the roads
’cause the second that you’re spotted your cover’s forever blown
and that’s the moment your whole family is gone, it’s not a game, more than tired
delusion is creepin’ into my brain
carryin’ my kid, ’cause she weak from the hunger pains
but we would of already been dead if we woulda stayed
so i’d rather risk it all tryna make it another day
and i don’t know what’s in store, but we gon’ make it for sure
even if i gotta swim us to shore, by any means
i refuse to sit back and be a victim of war
i’ll break my back to give my family more, you tryna tell me
if the place you call home wasn’t safe anymore
and your country didn’t have any law, with no future
for your kids while y’all sat there starvin’ and poor
you wouldn’t die tryna make it across just like me?

[chorus]
for the land of the free
land of the free
imagine e’rything that we’d be
if we’d of made it to the land of the free
land of the free
land of the free
imagine e’rything that we’d be
if we’d of made it to the land of the free
