j. cole - be free (live on the late show with david letterman) lyrics

[verse 1]
and i’m in denial
and it don’t take no x-ray to see right through my smile
i know, i be on the go
and there ain’t no drink out there that can numb my soul
oh no

[hook]
all we wanna do is take the chains off
all we wanna do is break the chains off
all we wanna do is be free
all we wanna do is be free
all we wanna do is take the chains off
all we wanna do is break the chains off
all we wanna do is be free
all we wanna do is be free

[verse 2]
can you tell me why
every time i step outside i see my people die
i’m lettin’ you know
that there ain’t no gun they make that can k!ll my soul
oh no

[verse 3]
forget this chain, cause this ain’t me
though i’m eternally grateful to jay z
we so elated, we celebrated like obama waited until his last day in office to tell the nation, brothers is getting their reparations, hey
a man can dream, can’t he?
no disrespect, in terms of change i haven’t seen any
maybe he had good intentions but was stifled by the system
and was sad to learn that he actually couldn’t bring any
that’s what i get for thinking, this world is fair
they let a brother steer the ship
and never told him that the ship was sinkin’
but i got other sh-t to think about, like my bank account
forget that watch, you paid too much for it
you ‘ought to be ashamed
when brothers back home be dreading when the seasons change
cause they ain’t got no heat and they ain’t got no ac
walmart distribution fired my homie, he just had a baby
you wonder why it’s been so many b and e’s lately
while brothers from the hood shooting like this is tnt lately
and since all the ballers leaving college early
i turn on the tv and don’t see no brothers with degrees lately

[bridge]
are we all alone, fighting on our own
please give me a chance, i don’t wanna dance
somethings got me down, i will stand my ground
don’t just stand around, don’t just stand around

[outro]
all we wanna do is be free
all we wanna do is be free
all we wanna do is take the chains off…
