Freedom
Embracing Self-Determination
Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh
Expression of excitement or realization
Just to let you know
Announcing a message
We've won
Celebration of victory
Don't waste your time
Advice to avoid wasting time
Don't waste your time
Reiteration of advice
Oh
Expression of emotion
'Cause I imagine freedom
Imagination of freedom
Oh, oh
Expression of excitement or realization
And just to let you know
Reiterating the announcement
We are our own freedom, freedom
Assertion of self as the embodiment of freedom
Agh, damn
Expression of frustration or surprise
When you come out the stands
Reflection on exiting a passive role
How you gonna live it when you come out to stan?
Questioning how to live after gaining attention
How you sellin' shows when you don't got fans?
Querying the viability of selling shows without fans
How you gonna live it when you don't got fans?
Questioning life without fans
Agh, damn
Expression of frustration or surprise
Once it was a while ago
Reflection on the past
Music is the business, now I'm singin' in this vehicle
Transition from music as a business to personal expression
Singin' 'bout my freedom while they plannin' how it's buyable
Acknowledging the commercialization of freedom
Well, like I'm feelin', how I'm feelin' is maniacal
Describing intense emotions
My voice, my skin, my logo
Ownership of personal elements
How you tryna package me when you don't got a photo?
Questioning attempts to commodify without a visual representation
In the end, no I.D., no polo
Reference to identity without recognizable branding
Shoutin' to the heavens 'cause I don't know where to go though
Expressing confusion and searching for direction
Somebody tell the dealer I'm comin'
Announcing arrival to a dealer
I-I-I'm comin'
Reiteration of arrival
My, oh, my, I know I'm stunnin'
Acknowledging personal attractiveness
My, oh, my, I know I'm runnin'
Asserting a sense of urgency or pursuit
In the end so here I go
Declaration of action
We used to think the industry was five stars, define stars
Reflection on the industry's perception
And now we itchin' just to find stars, define stars
Yearning for authentic stars in the industry
But they was schemin' when they find us, define us
Comment on the industry's tactics
And now we token, now we open so then remind us
Reflection on becoming tokens and the need for reminders
From the beginnin', we never winnin'
Recognition of constant struggle
They want our image, we the spark
Industry's desire for image and creativity as a spark
You want my art, what's hot, what's not
Comparison of art's value and popularity
I'm undercharged, an over though
Expressing undervaluation and overexertion
And after dark, and now I'm livin'
Transition into a liberated state
Tryna give in every melody of ours
Desire to convey every aspect of their art
What's hot, what's not, what's ours
Reflecting on the value and ownership of their art
Sally sellin' six figures, wearin' Bantu knots
Reference to commercial success and cultural identity
I'm tryna make a livin'
Striving for a livelihood
Music is the source of all my end and my beginnin', singin'
Recognizing the dual nature of music in their life
