Flawless Real Talk - Land of the Free Lyrics

I eat and breath just like you
I even bleed just like you
I'm just like you
I got my own fam just like you
And I'll Do anything I can for em just like you
I mean
I know We all want the same for our kids
A future that is better than the life that we lived
Praying to a higher power hoping something would give
Not knowing if it even exists
Yea I'm just like you
But I didn't grow just like you
So I don't know just like you
I was never taught to read how can I succeed just like you
I wish that I could dream just like you
I know it's crazy but
It's easy to see you don't have to agree
When you dig into the roots we all apart of the tree
The only difference in you and the person in me
Is I ain't from the land of the free just like you
Land of the free
Land of the free
Imagine everything I could be
If I was only from the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Imagine everything I could be
If I was only from the land of the free
I hear a lot of y'all are upset there
Saying we dont have the right to step there
But if everything was fine where we are then nah
We wouldn't all be dying tryna get there
You hear the stories and what they say
You see the photos and look away
They're picking our bodies up everyday
Tryna make it to the land of free
We've been deprived of our peace
Ain't no food for a feast
Been no sleep since the gangs over ran the police
They raping all of the women kidnapping kids in the street
They shut down all the schools so there ain't no one to teach
They tell me I gotta join or I'll be dead in a week
It's nothing I can avoid cuz they gon' mark me as weak
I got a daughter that's 2 and I don't want her to see
This side of life I just wish she could be
From the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Imagine everything she could be
If she was only from the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Imagine everything she could be
If she was only from the land of the free
Theres a lil me in all of us
Cant Imagine how scared my daughter was
A thousand miles to border was the distance so for instance we were walking from New Jersey to Florida
That's a long way ain't it
Yea I know
Imagine not being able to use the road
Cuz the second that your spotted your cover forever blown
And that's the moment your whole family is gone
It's not a game
More than tired
Delusion is creeping into my brain
Carrying my kid cuz she weak from the hunger pains
But we would of already been dead if we woulda stayed
So I'd rather risk it all tryna make it another day
And i don't know what's in store
But we gon' make it for sure
Even if i gotta swim us to shore by any means
I refuse to sit back and be a victim of war
I'll break my back to give my family more
You tryna tell me
If the place you call home wasn't safe anymore
And your country didn't have any law
With no future for your kids while y'all sat there starving and poor
You wouldn't die tryna make it across?
Just like me?
For the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Imagine everything that we'd be
If we'd of made it to the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Imagine everything that we'd be
If we'd of made it to the land of the free

I eat and breath just like you
I even bleed just like you
I'm just like you
I got my own fam just like you
And I'll Do anything I can for em just like you
I mean
I know We all want the same for our kids
A future that is better than the life that we lived
Praying to a higher power hoping something would give
