roxanne shanté - gotta be free lyrics

[verse 1]
a little something laid back
but i ain`t new to that so i can do that
on this new track i`m kicking flavor but you knew that
or know that since i`m the one presently speaking
a beat so slow, huh, i will get you freaking
it`s just to show that i can flow slow tempo
you jealous of the brown+skinned sister with dimples
it`s understandable cause you ain`t gifted
go for yours cause mine`s, i was born with it
self+respect is something you cannot sacrifice
or you will be looking for it somewhere in the afterlife
a woman`s job is never done
we work from sun to sundown and it`s not always fun
if thе sisters work together, wе will be much better
but if a sister wants to do it for self, well then, let her
cause there`s no need to hold her back cause she`s pr+ne
to be a sister that will get her own
[hook]
i just want to be free, be free
and i just got to be me, yeah, me

[verse 2]
s+xy is the way one would describe me
nice and healthy, dark and lovely
sure of myself, that you can tell
i thank the bunch for the compliment, cause i do wear it well
not one of the girls who shake their thang
came in with the boom and went out with a bang
hang around if you wanna see the girl in action like jackson
but not in the orderly fashion
i`m convinced that women should be arising
and if you haven`t arisen yet, you should be striving
to reach your destination whatever it may be
and see your luck to not be determined by your destiny
i`m the one who knows what she wants and takes it
i dedicate it to the ones who never made it
the ones who stay home till their children get grown
remember, god blessed the child who had his own

[hook]
i just want to be free, be free
and i just got to be me, yeah, me
[verse 3]
you ain`t involved but use lies as alibis
drop the disguise and that the word from the wise
they can`t take away a woman`s glory
even though magazines come out with amazing stories
you better check before you listen to slander
i will never understand why spread the propaganda
about me but then make everybody doubt me
now what would your life be, without me?
so i come around to exchange real words
you heard? i drop fantasy like stephen spielberg
since i`m a master at the game, let me school ya
oh, no, don`t let the good looks fool ya
you gotta get ya own, that`s what you gotta get
instead of pregnant with a whole lot of regrets
and there`s no need to frown and moan
at a sister that can hold her own

[hook]
i just want to be free, be free
and i just got to be me, yeah, me
