thumbiko alick - freedom lyrics

[intro: thumbiko alick]

the world’s a time-bomb
but heaven ain’t too far so get ya’ climb on
(ladies and gentlemen)
(silence!)

lala la la
yah! nana na
nana na na na
yah! uh!

[verse 1: thumbiko alick]

am in a cell thinking thoughts that aren’t my own
been through h-ll though somehow i was in heaven all along
am known to lose my temper
am known to be foolish and quite self centered
i, apologise on my part for errbody whose hearts i’ve scarred
the system and the gospel and the world aren’t ours
and religious sorta’ like living life behind bars
its yours not ours, fault
you blacked out, power overdose
flowers, could i please have a bouquet of those
to light up my cell, the sun died like years ago
its like a rainbow without the reds and indigos
insane, delirious, the higher the vision goes
but am too tied up to be committed to your torture
you a volture, waiting on me to falter
and shrivel up for your satisfaction but no, sir!

[hook:]

[verse 2: thumbiko alick]

you educated, stop being blameless and take the blame for us
you shoot better, second grade could only aim for us
i eat grief and go to sleep with a flame-thrower
you eat peace and go to sleep in a range rover
let us be, set us free from the pain, oh-ah
let us see, let us breathe equally so that you and me could feel the need to co-exist and love one another
my brother, am talkin’ bout freedom!

[hook:]

freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
(i said!)
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart
freedom is the song in my heart

[verse 3:]

my mind’s a paint brush, life’s an art-form and i paint love
peace is color, hate’s a portrait and the paint’s rough
no, it ain’t that i ain’t tough enough to fight em’, man
but violence to me is just a sheer waste of vitamins
i believe you and me, don’t see eye to eye for the need to be unique
and that’s the reason why society lack unity
and that’s the reason why our history is misery
and that’s the reason why when i go h.a.m you wanna’ beef
don’t judge me for content, judge me for honesty
your diplomacy is nonsense as far as i can read
my lyriscm’s intellectual as far as i can teach
and christ died for you and i’s as far as i can preach
self love is a fruit i beg you not to be eve, feeble
a bunch of money craved people
money deranged unequals
whether you’re selling dope or lives its still the same, evil
freedom!

[hook:]

[spoken word: thumbiko alick]

star-light so bright, night so subtle
thick and cl-stered lights gleaming like her eyes
beauty a perception, goodly, as true a life
bossomed high that i reside in my innards, my soul is a paradise
a cocoon tailored of lies, mothering minds and within it the proudest of b-tterflies
circled lines sew signs in the lips of mimes silent as lone land legioned in land mines
these are our times, our crimes
our sugars and limes
dust bitten, our rights that long left
concept of rubble, crumbled crumb-less to a corrosious
sweltering hands suffer swims in cold blood and a stenchous sweat
detect the enemy quick, then hit that eject b-tton lest your heart slips to rest!
