Lyrics

[Verse 1: Erykah Badu & Common] Everyone hides their faces Behind a mask they wear Jimi was a rock star Searching for that magic place, that He could touch in the sky Just to get his people high [Chorus: Erykah Badu] Ooh... Jimi Ooh... ooh... Ooh... Jimi Ooh... ooh... Ooh... Jimi Ooh... ooh... Ooh... ooh... [Verse 2: Erykah Badu & Common] Life is so colorful Reds, blues and dreams Jimi lives in a purple haze In a psychedelic maze Playin' the streets like an instrument Pulling strings wherever he went An angel sent from the sky Just to get his people high [Chorus: Erykah Badu] Ooh... Jimi Ooh... ooh... Ooh... Jimi Ooh... ooh... Ooh... Jimi Ooh... ooh... Ooh... ooh... [Bridge: Erykah Badu & Common] Women all around Fast cars and sounds By freedom he was bound Couldn't see the ground Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free? (Set me free) [Verse 3: Erykah Badu & Common] So high, born to fly Getting high off his own supply With the Most Highs of the sky Everybody follows a savior Choosing his light to guide the way You do, but who do you choose? (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Some price, the greats' vice who died so young (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Some, they are hung, Jimi was stoned Everyone hides their faces (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Behind a mask they wear (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Everyone hides their faces (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Behind a mask they wear (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Everyone hides their faces (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Behind a mask they wear (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Everyone hides their faces (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Behind a mask they wear (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Free...! Everyone hides their faces (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Behind a mask they wear (Jimi, come on, why don't you set me free?) Free... free... freedom!
