Gotta Be Free

[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 prone
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]
Sexy 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
