I was born free
and I’ll die me.
This ain’t my society
it’s just a phase.

There ain’t
no one
who died
for my freedom
cause my freedom
came free.

My government
tried to put
chains on
people who
they were
preying on
those who
were barely
hanging on
so for them
here is my
truth song

From the womb
to the dirt plot
they want to take
what we got
but those things
do not define
you or me;

And their taxes
and their prisons
and their religions
want to confine
my already free mind

But I was born free
and I’ll die me.
This ain’t my society.
it’s just a phase.
