Be Free 03:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, She said I really don't mind, I told her we'll be just fine, yeah, If more women thought like you, Then world peace would be possible, Little girls trip off of little girls, And those girls ain't Mrs., But you keep your distance, I see these girls' intentions, And they so dependent on other girls' approval, If all the girls were jumping, You'd say that ain't what you do, And I just love you for you, And I know you love me too, We just wanna be free, We just wanna be free.

Laws 03:29
I can't find the love I need, And your book is way too long, I'm struggling like a dog in heat, Got too weak to hide the bone, If I look inside of me, That is where I'll find the throne, 2000 years ago, But what about Horus, What about Ma'at, 42 laws for us, I asked her what is an Ankh, She said it was a pagan cross, And a sinner like me could live forever, Cause he paid the cost, Oh, really? Mama, mama, don't you cry, I just gotta live my life, I just go by what I see, Maybe I'll see you in heaven one day, Maybe, Jesus taught you to have faith, Yeezus taught me to be great, 1500 years ago, But what about Buddha, What about the Tao, Wish I would've known sooner, When we don't know our history, Everything becomes his story, And when you really know, That we don't really know, Is when you really know, I had to look all the way inside of me, To find all the love I really needed, Cause your book was way too long, I'm so tired of all the laws, 3 years ago, I took my freedom.

That can't be right, naw, Dr. Sebi told me, Dawg, that can't be right, Eat to live my brother, Eat to live my Queen, You are of this earth, And your health is King, Everybody ignorant one time, Ain't gotta be two, Everybody know what that sunshine, Feel like at noon, I sing the tune, Of the blooms, Howl with the moon, Cause she looms, I can see the vision in your eyes, Cause I am you, And you are God, And I am too, Come on, Now you know, I saw the light so I hold up the prism, Get their minds out the prison, When we're blind there's division, What you gone do now, Now that you know.

The Limit 03:39
They say the sky is the limit, Have they ever heard of Galileo, Why is 60 seconds a minute, When minute things could be up in it, I hope you don't mind, If I think about time a little, Just for a little time, In my little mind, Yeah, my brittle mind, If you just learned what they told you, You would know enough, But would you grow enough, If you just stay where they hold you, You won't get cold enough, That's why I'm growin' up, And I miss the warmth sometimes, The bliss is gone for life, I wanna push the limit, I wanna know my truth, Hop in a brand new Tesla, Swerve on a classic coupe, Maybe I'll talk 'bout Kemet, Maybe the Matrix too, Maybe I need more women, Baby, I'm just a NUPE, And I wanna know what's in your eyes, Cause that same glow is in mine, Has been for all the time, All the time, I hope you didn't mind, Cause I talked about time a little, Just for three minutes time, From my little mind, Yeah, my brittle mind.
