Lyrics for Freeman

It feels good to be a free man with clenched hands I used to pray to find a way to make a label advance (every day) But nowadays 100k ain't even getting my glance (hell nah) Ain't even setting up no meeting 'til they meet the demands An undisclosed amount from Netflix, invest it I turned the set into a movie set for all of the kids To see who you can be if you believe you're bigger than this (yeah) Don't be no crab in the bucket, be a Crip at the Ritz Them crackers see me in the Sweden, try to call up the pigs But we know they don't fly, the time flow way too high, feel like the time flew by Been ten plus years, lost love (shed blood), lost peers (lost blood) Shed blood, shed tears Cheers, grab a glass I'll never find an equal mind, I'll settle for the fattest ass (for real) I'm tryna make a way And all she say is, "Bae, you make me laugh" (what's so fucking funny?) Heavy is the hand that reaches past the plates to pay the tab But niggas gotta eat, right? Right? It's all good It's all good It's all good Yesterday, this lady told me that she feel like we homies Love the music, love the way I'm moving, watchin' me closely Wanna see me on the GRAMMYs stage, holdin' them trophies (hell nah) I responded, "As above, so below me," she said, "Explain" It's the power of the human brain, we trapped in our dreams I understand I'm just a grain of sand and life is a beach Only Heaven knows whichever way I blow in the breeze I'll be a fool to think it's left up to me But I appreciate the love, loved one, still young They tryna figure out the ins and outs of where we from (ay, where you from?) Heal the blocks that we spun, the concrete crack Hey, we steppin', niggas won't get back, right? (Boom, boom, boom) It's all good It's all good It's all good It's all good It's all good (it's all good) It's all good (it's all good) It's all good It's all good
