Freedom Writers (Album Version) Lyrics

I'm out to raise freedom writers

With speeches vibrant with science, seen as survivors of violence

Elohim dialed in defying those demons rioting with tyrants

Yeah, my passion's underrated, I'm David fighting Goliath

I triumph against all odds with God's favor, bride of his highness

My guidance and yes, my comfort rate to contemplate and concentrate

On criticizing reasons why Eric Garner would suffocate

Fighting racial tensions 'causing Ferguson scenarios

That turn their back on justice like the cops did DeBlasio

On behalf of those trans genders treated like gang members

And that measured with faith I have treasured

I paint "legendary pictures" with a genius in tune

To use "the voice" with more "spice" than a scene out of "Dune"

Directed by Denis Villeneuve, 'cause we rarely see the proof

Of justice for the black boy some cop didn't mean to shoot

Out of fear that they're weapon strapped, the pot calling the kettle black

While "running with the devil" like that classic heavy metal track

That's a "higher learning" more than Eshon and Uncle Reece

'Propaganda' felt like 'Braille' via this 'Humble Beast'

Christian hip-hop metaphors so the saints run with me

While focusing on up and comers like the Summer league

With lyrics challenging my walk in life

In accepting Christ who died for me despite my flesh that said that I oughta die

If you knew my past you would be mortified

That's why Christ is not only my Savior but my Lord on High

That's why we need the gospel where the demons lie

In "Criminal Minds" you couldn't profile in a "CSI"

Or "Red" could never ever put on his "Blacklist", I'm vanquished

In God's image, I vanish. I'm his catfish

Freedom when I write, yeah

To break the chains of all the demons in your life, yeah

So that you recognize the reason for the Christ, yeah

And his relationship that you need to survive

He's the reason you're alive

Fight for freedom when I write, yeah

To break the chains of all the demons in your life, yeah

So that you recognize the reason for the Christ, yeah

And his relationship that you need to survive

He's the reason

I'm in public schools being a light, giving kids freedom to write

'Bout those demons that lie within in them, their eaten alive

And mistreated, it's why my after school season's a vibe

It's more than reason to rhyme, its pre-teens believing their bi

Having their feelings denied before there's a reasoning why

These feelings speak to their lives, guarded believing in Christ

While I'm dealing with life. Overcoming a marriage

That's on the rocks, while my people's being shot 'cause their freedom's denied

With that 14 word manifesto for the youth to market

That if you're black, you're the target in a supermarket

By the minds that's been renewed by the white supremacist

Instead of Romans 12:2 as Christ intended, they deny the premise

And call our kind a "menace", use black on black crime as trite defenses

When that's personal beef, I pray against that and your thoughts of murdering me

Out of fear of being replaced, perversion is deep

'Cause this land you never owned, you gained the world to lose your soul

Your love for country's evil un-refutable

you know the 'drill', they'll blame music for all black and brown murder

So I rap to crowds turned up with that cap and gown fervor

When I write, yeah

To break the chains of all the demons in your life, yeah

So that you recognize the reason for the Christ, yeah

And his relationship that you need to survive

He's the reason you're alive

Fight for freedom when I write, yeah

To break the chains of all the demons in your life, yeah

So that you recognize the reason for the Christ, yeah

And his relationship that you need to survive

He's the reason you're alive
