[Intro: Ronald Reagan]
"...But only here, did that little band of men so advanced beyond their time
That the world has never seen their like since
Evolve the idea that you and I
Have within ourselves the God-given right
And the ability to determine our own destiny
But freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction
We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream
The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it
And then hand it to them
With the well thought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same
And if you and I don't do this
Then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free."
[Verse 1: SiR]
Say you wanna be free, that'll cost you
Go ahead and make an offer
Speak now or hold your peace
Gamblin' with your heart, they're playing for keeps
Are you ready to lose?
Can you win if you don't hold any?
Say you tryna be, but you don't know which
Say you tryna ball, but you sitting on the bench
Wanna be free, but take a stand, fuck the team, break the chains
Go ahead, drive the hearse, in reverse, live to die, fuck the lane
Matter of fact, fuck the name, I'm what's next, write the checks, Malcolm X, ready to die, steady and aim
Take my life and I'll remain free (Liberation)
