Free

What you see here is a man speaking

Through the bomber rot of America

Talking with my features using my given tongue as the message

My first language was learned after I spoke my 2nd

Because since day one I knew how to vocalize my FREEDOM

The grunts yells, and laughs

Screams cries and coos

Where my out spoken rhymes from my early lifetimes

Echoed further than my written lines because it's my every breath

As I showed my as through the years

Throwing the wanna be masters a line drive

Hitting them with my will to be my own

The wished in every way to shut me up

Still no matter what they wish my speech reverberates through my feet

Shaking the ground quaking with every new step

Putting them on a "Black" terror alert

Just from the threat of my heart beat

My life adds potential to the existence of resistance

My unwillingness to die before my Earth mothers given time

Blows holes in their hateful minds

Because they can't understand why I refuse to go down without a fight

As I raise my fist in defiance proclaiming

THAT I'M FREE

This nation can't help but to take notice of the acted out words from me
