Freedom
[Chorus]
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me

[Verse 1]
See, I ain't never think that I would have a situation
Where the people around me just envy, I must replace them
See, I always thought that the people that watched me grow
Would wanna see me blow, fa'sho, but little did I know
They ain't never really wanna see me smiling
They couldn't take the fact that I was really shining
And in my heart, I know they wishing I would stop
'Cause they don't want me to rise and be on top

[Pre-Chorus]
And all that jealousy and hate
Could be right in front of your face
And it's gonna hurt for you to see
But it ain't your fault, just let it be
[Chorus (2x)]
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me

[Verse 2]
See, everybody wanna have something to talk about
So they pointing their fingers and always running their mouth
No matter how you try to satisfy someone else
Giving so much of yourself, your love, but it's never enough
The more you give, the more want, and they ain't happy
And they don't see all that you do to make them happy
They don't appreciate it until you walk away
But you don't wanna hear it by now, it's too late

[Pre-Chorus]
And all that jealousy and hate
Could be right in front of your face
And it's gonna hurt for you to see
But it ain't your fault, just let it be
[Chorus]
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me

[Verse 3]
What they don't understand is that I'm gonna keep living my life and surviving
And I'm gonna keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding
'Cause ain't no time to be crying, I been providing with the strength
To carry my weight
And I'm gonna be okay
'Cause I'ma live my life my way
You can say what you want to say
It won't affect the way I'm living, I'm winning by being free again, yeah

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think, I'ma be free
'Cause I'ma be me, yeah
[Outro]
'Cause it's my life, my life
My life, my life, my life
