Onemike - Be Free Lyrics

Embrace your weirdness
The ones been through shit, show a face that's fearless
If it's great, don't matter if it take you years
And mistakes should be used to upgrade awareness
Through hard work & hard times... we learned resilience
No lookin back once you get that first urge of brilliance
I still clock a nine five, put in work for bills
And still Passed up 3 chances could've earned me millions
When Tupac spoke it gave me hope for real
Can we fill these mega churches with the homeless children
They on the streets and can't eat they gotta beg for meals
Why do a preacher need jewelry & expensive wheels... damn
See I'm just tryna stay true to the roots
They been killin us the proof is in the food we consume
And years ago I stopped reviewing the news
They love to cover... shootin at schools
With hopes of boostin their views
Salute to the troops, but I think only few of them knew
Not standing for the anthem wasn't used to dispute
What you've been through
Takin a knee... that's just a strong form of speech from those that no longer choose to be mute
Police fear is induced, they love to shoot like its hoops
We hangin on for dear life, but they won't loosen the noose
So What I do in the booth is to influence the youth
You want success don't do it for them, do it for you
Just go

You ain't gotta be who they want you to be
You find peace in breaking free, that's what I want you to see
Workin hard to achieve what we want but don't need
Come to find what you lost can't be bought cus it's free
It ain't, hard to succeed when ya heart full of greed
And we obsess for what's next yet the clock never sleeps
Take a moment to breathe, I'm just hoping you see
That when u focus on now, time lowers it speed
Be free

I always happen to find
I'm losing track of time
Looking ahead, and behind but can't rewind
I said I was fine, but in the back of my mind
I knew that was a lie
As time was passing me by

Nothing worse than being broke, when you need a smoke
Just to free ya dome piece, hope to find peace alone and reach a zone
Far far away from these frequent Lows
Unless you have some new advice please keep it bro, to each his own
I never vent, always chose to keep it low
A sharp mind is a breed of hard times, and hind-sight shows you needed those
It's funny, sometimes takin that step back
Was all you needed to finally see what u couldn't see before
And where my ladies at, my real women though
Tell me all your biggest goals, I hope they ain't predictable
But if they is, I still listen though
Tell me about the white picket fence, bigger home where your children grow
Wedding band with biggest stone, listen close
I ain't saying pick a different road
I'm tryna get you thinkin more
About what to do after u hit them goals
We know living complacent can be miserable
Scratch that, tell me what you passionate about
Like your savings account, dreams of cashing it out
Finally travel to locations you've imagined before
Discover true happiness in the lavishest form
Glad to explore passions that You had all along
Cause that potentional was tapped when you subtracted the norms... of society
I believe when you finally, find a passion then that's when you're actually born
Yes yes yall, subtracting the norms
To break free cus that's when you're actually born
Life is beautiful try and see that when it's not so clear
Needed motivation then I hope this track got you there
I do this for the kids used to awkward stares
Dont let them hate on your style just cus it's not like theirs
Shit, this is even for the elderly in rocking chairs
Worst thing to be at yall age, is not aware
When they ask you why u was letting life pass you by
For nine to fives in an office chair
Oh yeah, 3 last things before I'm out of here
Push forward, be courageous, don't adopt the fear
Go

You ain't gotta be who they want you to be
You find peace in breaking free, that's what I want you to see
Workin hard to achieve what we want but don't need
You come to find what you lost can't be bought cus it's free
It ain't, hard to succeed when ya heart full of greed
And we obsess for what's next yet the clock never sleeps
Take a moment to breathe, I'm just hoping you see
That when u focus on now, time lowers it speed
Be free

I always happen to find
I'm losing track of time
Looking ahead, and behind but can't rewind
I said I was fine, but in the back of my mind
I knew that was a lie
As time was passing me by

Be free
