You know what free is nigga?

What′s free?Free is when nobody else could tell us what to be

Free is when the TV ain't controllin′ what we see

Told my niggas "I need you"

Through all the fame you know I stay true

Pray my niggas stay free

Made a few mistakes but this ain't where I wanna be

Before I'm judged by 12, put a 12 on my feet

Told my niggas, "I need you"

Stay up I know these times ain′t true

Real life, stay free

Since a lad, I was cunning

Just got a pad out in London

I keep stackin′ my money

I need a ladder by summer

AK shots, niggas duckin' stray shots

Been a Top Dawg, that′s before the K.Dots

Crackin' in ′06, immaculate showmanship

Talk it like you Mitch, disastrous on the strip

Holdin' on your bitch, coulda never sold you a brick

With them people you never been on a list

Mona Lisa to me ain′t nothin' but a bitch

Hanging pictures like niggas swinging from his dick

We so different you thought these didn't exist

The Megalodon never seen on his wrist

I′m from the South where they never make it this rich

God is the greatest, but Satan been on his shit

Walkin′ the pavement, I pray I'm illuminated

Over a decade and never nobody′s favorite

Pot and kilo go hand in hand like we gamblin' huf

My amigo, a million grams and we countin′ 'em up

You was dead broke, I let you hold a pack

You paid for it, but I fucked

Around and stole the track

Screaming "gang gang" now you wanna rap

Racketeering charges caught him on a tap

Lookin′ for a bond lawyers wanna tax

Purple hair got them faggots on your back

Whats free?

Free is when nobody else could tell us what to be

Free is when the TV ain't controlling what we see

Told my niggas "I need you"

Through all the fame you know I stay true

Pray my niggas stay free

Made a few mistakes but this ain't where I wanna be

Before I′m judged by 12, put a 12 on my feet

Told my niggas "I need you"

Stay up I know these times ain′t true

Real life, what's free?

Fed investigations, heard they plottin′ like I trap

20 mil' in cash, they know I got that off a rap

Maybe it′s the Michael Rubins or the Robert Krafts

Or the billionaire from Marcy

Ain't no way they got my back

Seein′ how I prevailed now

They try to knock me back, uh

Lock me in the cell for all

Them nights and I won't snap, uh

Two-fifty a show and they

Still think I'm sellin′ crack

When you bring my name up

To the judge just tell em′ facts

Tell em how we fundin' all

These kids to go to college

Tell him how we ceasin′

All these wars, stoppin' violence

Tryna fix the system and

The way they designed it

I think they want me silenced (Shush)

Oh say can you see

I don′t feel like I'm free

Locked down in my cell

Shackled from ankle to feet

Judge bangin′ that gavel

Turned me to slave from a king

Another day in the bing

I gotta hang from a string

Just for poppin' a wheelie

My people march in the city

From a cell to a chopper view

From the top of the city

You can tell how we rockin'

Soon as I pop up we litty

Poppin′ like Bad Boy in ′94

Big Poppa and Diddy

And niggas counted me out

Like my accountant ain't busy

That′s five milli' in twenties

Sit up in council, I′m dizzy

Phantom, five hundred thousand

Hundred round in a stizzy

Is we beefin' or rappin′

I might just pop up with Drizzy like

Whats free?

Free is when nobody else could tell us what to be

Free is when the TV ain't controlling what we see

Told my niggas 'I need you′

Through all the fame you know I stay true

Pray my niggas stay free

Made a few mistakes but this

Ain′t where I wanna be

Before I'm judged by 12, put a 12 on my feet

Told my niggas ′I need you'

Stay up I know these times ain′t true

Real life, what's free?

In the land of the free, where the blacks enslaved

Three-fifth′s of a man I believe's the phrase

I'm 50% of D′usse and it′s debt free (Yeah)

100% of Ace of Spades, worth half a B (Uh)

Roc Nation, half of that, that's my piece

Hunnid percent of Tidal to boss it up with my G′s

Smoke most of my niggas won't ever work together

You run a cheque up but they never give you leverage

No red hat, don′t Michael and

Prince me and Ye

They separate you when you got

Michael and Prince's DNA, uh

I ain′t like one of these house

Niggas you bought

My house like a resort

My house bigger than yours

My spou- (C'mon man)

My route better of course

We started without food in our mouth

They gave us pork and pig intestines

Shit you discarded that we ingested

We made the project a wave

You came back, reinvested and gentrified it

Took nigga's sense of pride

Now how that′s free?

And the people stole their

Soul and hit niggas with 360′s

I ain't got a billion streams, got a billion dollars

Inflating numbers like we ′posed

To be happy about this

We was praisin' Billboard but we were young

Now I look at Billboard like ′Is you dumb?'

To this day, Grandma ′fraid of what I might say

They gon' have to kill me Grandmama

I'm not they slave (Ha-ha-ha)

Check out the bizarre rappin′

Style used by me the HOV

Look at my hair free, care free

Niggas ain′t near free

Enjoy your chains, whats your employer

Name with the hair piece?

I survived the hood, can't no Shaytan rob me

My accountant′s so good I'm

Practically livin′ tax free

Factory, that's me

Sold drugs, got away scot-free

That′s a CC, E-copy

Guilt free, still me

And they expect me to not

Feel a way to this day

You would say y'all kill me

Sucker free, no shuckin me

I don't jive turkey

Say "Happy Thanksgiving"

Shit sound like a murder to me

Smoke free

All of y′all calling out toll free

Labels rob you for millions yet

You wanna put a hole in me

Sugar free, seasoned but I′m soft for you

Lay a hand on Hov, my shooter shoot for free

I promise World War three

Send an order through a hands free,

Kill you in 24 hours or shorter you

Can't ignore the hand speed

On god, it′s off the head this improv

But it's no comedy

Sign I fail, hell naw (Ha-ha-ha)
