Lyrics
I hope you decide before you divide us here
I hope there is a decision before a separation occurs
I can't see through your eyes
I cannot understand things from your perspective
I can barely see mine, my dear
My vision is unclear, and I struggle to understand myself
I hope we survive
I hope we endure and continue to exist
'Cause this could be just our year
This might be a significant year for us
I can't make up my mind
I'm uncertain and indecisive
I'm still tryna trust my fears
I'm still learning to trust my fears
But I need a new one
I need a new fear or challenge
I need somethin' to choose from
I need options or alternatives
I need somethin' to lose on
I need something to risk or gamble on
I need somethin' that's just mine
I need something that is exclusively mine
Been around the world, still got nothin' to my name
Despite traveling extensively, I still lack possessions
'Cause I'm just an immigrant
Identifying as an immigrant
Barely a citizen, I'm still pleadin' my innocence
Struggling to prove my innocence as a barely recognized citizen
Boy, I ain't a victim
Rejecting victimhood despite challenges
No, I'm just an immigrant
Reiterating the identity as an immigrant
Been around the world, tryna find my way back home
Continuing the journey to find a sense of belonging
(Free world, free world)
Emphasizing the concept of a free world with references to change and details
(Oh, got more change for the detail)
-(Oh, free world, this a free world)
-(Oh, got more change for the detail)
-(For the detail)
-How comes it you sat from me and my kin?
Questioning societal expectations and judgments based on appearance
How comes it you said how I feel my skin?
-How comes it that you said?
-No, no, but you said
-How comes it you said how I'm supposed to look?
-How comes it you described how I'm supposed to run?
-How comes it you said?
-No, no, but you said you would go get right
-How comes it you sat from me and my kin? (Let's go)
-How comes it you said how I feel my skin? (Uh-huh)
-How comes it that you said? (Suicide, it's like suicide, yeah)
-No, no, but you said
-How comes it you said how I'm supposed to look? (Free world, this a free world)
Challenging stereotypes and expressing the desire for personal empowerment
(Let's go)
-How comes it you described how I'm supposed to run? (Uh-huh)
-How comes it you said? (Free world, free world)
-(Suicide, it's like suicide, yeah)
-No, no, but you said ('cause more change for the detail)
-You go get right (it's like suicide, yeah, we glide)
-(For the details)
Reiteration of the importance of details
So far from harm, but so haram
Contrasting a desire to live freely with societal restrictions
Wanna live for the now, but we're so held down
-Wanna pray to the stars, you should pray to Allah
-Who might see some grace, will or not, I'm on season eight
-Walkin' 'round on these free world takers
References to materialism and the complexities of personal preferences
Hi, hi hater, money first, I want details later
-Diamonds dancin' like Ayo, Teo
-Miracle whip, but I still hate mayo
-Hope they want the best of me
Hoping for the best from others
Are you really brave? Are you really outside?
Questioning bravery, freedom, and financial success while acknowledging societal constraints
Are you still a slave?
-Are you scared to count what you really made?
-Half a milli' made and I'm still a slave, like really, mate?
-Am I really brave? I must be insane
-Are you really brave? Are you really outside?
-Are you still a slave?
-Are you scared to count what you really made?
-Half a milli' made and I'm still a slave, like really, mate?
-Am I really brave? I must be insane
