Free like we want to be
   Some time you want to get off
   Leave the work and take off
   But the boss man say you gonna lose you pay
   No chain on your feet now
   9 to 5 got you beat now
   You working hard to save
   Inflation like a tidal wave
  
   Are we free like we want to be
   Tell me are we free like we want to be
   Are we free like we want to be
   Tell me are we free like we want to be
  
   Racist get defeat
   Black Man vote and take you seat
   Now them think we gonna quiet
   Maybe we start a riot
   Whan happen to the diamond they stole
   The innocent blood run cold
   Do we still have to live in poverty
   Now they say we're free to be poor
   But are we free like we want to be
   Black Man are we free like we want to be
  
   Tell me are we free like want to be
   Are you free are you free
   Kept in emotion
   Will cause an explosion
   Let your love go
   Let me kno w
   Some people expect
   That's not what them get
   Become no slave
   Of them evil and wicked ways
  
   Are we free like we want to be
   Are we free like we want to be
   Are you free like you want to be
   Are we free like we want to be
  
   Can't walk the streets late at night
   Without fear of parasite
   Everyone has a inborn right
   A inborn right to live
   Who gave us the reason to fight
   By promoting negative vibes
   Who taught us of drugs and crime
   Now they say we're free to homicide
   Committing geoncide
   We freely homicide committing genocide
  
   Man we free like we want to be
   Black Man we free like we want to be
   Tell me we free like we want to be
   Are you free like you want to be
   We want to be free
   Free like we want to be
