Lyrics

[Intro] Woah-oh Woah Woah-oh Sometimes it's hard to believe that the truth will set you free [Verse 1] I ran through the doors of the church on the run My pastor said, "Son, where have you been, what have you done?" I hear helicopters and police surrounding my church I said, "I know I'm a heathen but I believe that prayer still works They're claiming my fingerprints are on the gun And I know they're convinced that I'm the one, yeah Pastor, I need your advice, I'm looking at twenty-five years to life And I just don't want another man making lovе to my wife" [Chorus] Don't tell me thе truth will set you free 'Cause there ain't no justice for a Black man like me I already got homies of mine doing time So pastor, please forgive me, sometimes I just don't believe that The truth will set you free [Verse 2] I said, "Mama, please find me another attorney 'Cause the one that they gave me don't care too much for me He be judging me Mama, please forgive me for calling collect If it's one thing I know You and Jesus never failed me yet I got on my knees In my jail cell The next thing I knew they just said you posted bail" [Chorus] They tell me the truth will set you free But there ain't no justice for a Black man like I already got homies of mine doing time So pastor, please excuse me, I just don't believe [Post-Chorus] Sometimes I don't believe (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) The truth will set you free now (Everybody sing) Sometimes I don't believe (Yeah, woah, woah, woah) The truth will get you freedom (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Freedom (That's what I want, that's what I need, yeah) Freedom (Everybody sing with me) Freedom (Yeah) Freedom (Freedom to be a Black man like me) [Outro] Racial profilin', y'all, ha The police, they wildin', y'all, hey Can't you hear people cryin', y'all?
