Freedom

Lyrics

[Chorus: Block McCloud] (Freedom) This is my only escape but I make And I know y'all can relate (Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze And all of these problems I face (Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my fallout The only thing I can believe in (Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live And this is the path to my freedom [Verse 1: Sicknature] Before the Snowgoons squad was build Before better luck was revealed Before getting props in the field from my productions with Bill Before I tore off with some promotors, performances and posters Before touring with La Coka Before the various travels Before my work with paz and the Pharaohs I only had frustrations that I didn't manage to channel A rascal who looked for ways to escape from the lunacy With great opportunity but impatiently usually Too young and troubled, an obvious menace I invited problems though I had to f**k off grimace Society's expectations left more room for insanity Life was never met with horseshoes or rabbit feet Then my brother bumped a tape with Run-DMC My thoughts regained speed, my tongue became free Bought a Public Enemy record and instantly wrote a rap Felt it would take a whole nation of millions to hold me back [Chorus: Block McCloud] (Freedom) This is my only escape but I make And I know y'all can relate (Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze And all of these problems I face (Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my fallout The only thing I can believe in (Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live And this is the path to my freedom [Verse 2: Snak the Ripper] I used to put my headphones on and image a life Better than the one that I had 'cause I was having to fight Constantly within the darkness tryna stand in the light But all that shit just disappeared when I got handed the mic I used to sit in my room and play my guitar Making mixtapes on cassette, who knew I'd make it this far Listening to everything from Nas to Slayer and [?] I was like every other kid but now they say I'm a star I used to run around the town painting my name Looking for some recognition and the taste of the fame Just a poor kid numb, my face in the rain They gave me shelter from the pain that runs through my veins I used to second guess the work that I would create Feel like the world is on my shoulders and I carry the weight And now I do it for the fans 'cause they say they relate Music is my therapy, this is my way to escape, yeah [Chorus: Block McCloud] (Freedom) This is my only escape but I make And I know y'all can relate (Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze And all of these problems I face (Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my fallout The only thing I can believe in (Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live And this is the path to my freedom [Chorus: Block McCloud] (Freedom) This is my only escape but I make And I know y'all can relate (Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze And all of these problems I face (Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my fallout The only thing I can believe in (Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live And this is the path to my freedom
