Freedom Writers Lyrics by Vi Finesse

2016

[Intro]
I never thought I was meant for this
Never thought how deep I would enter this
Only artist out here getting dents for this
He got a stage, started talking feminist

[Verse 1]
Nah, it's always been this way; never ashamed
Funny how my writing's changing up the game
Funny how you come around and acknowledge me
Yet all rap is nothing more than misogyny
And so it seems, the change I want is my aim
More than three months in a cell, it's a shame
Feeling like they dying when I never mention names
Divisive is the language, hate's the only blame
Freedom Writer flow, did it since the sixth grade
Back in Dozier Middle, I would misbehave
Then I met this woman, now I'm feeling saved
Heading out of school, got my city on a wave

[Hook]
(and I ain't got bands, I'm always rich in spirit
And if the money's nothing, then we hear the lyrics
If my soul is the pen with I wrote...
If the world is full of pain that we hold...)
If I found another key in my note
Maybe, maybe, maybe we could have some hope
If I found another key in my note
Maybe, maybe, maybe we could have some hope

[Verse 2]
White privilege is being able to turn away
Crossed wood and lynchings, we burn away
Pray these kids will learn today
Tomorrow is better and Lord, I pray
My cousins don't ever face what I faced
They can make it in any place
They can make it to any field
And will never struggle for any meal
And never know how it feels
To rub that brimstone against them heels
But, we all slaves; feeling like another time
Kill us all over nothing, but it ain't a crime
Sit down for the anthem, but we crossed a line
When rapists running loose on that Turner time
People going to them learners, cop a burner nine
But they never gotta serve that murder time
So I'mma pray to God 'cause I really need it
English took my family, getting beat for reading
Knowledge is the Devil's literature; talking Forrest Whitaker
An educated black youth is sinister; discipline administered
And if they take my body, I'll be rich in spirit
'Cause my father heard me cry, hear my pain in lyrics

[Outro]
You see, I'm very much alive; I'm very much devout in my faith
Very much aware of the situation and aware of this nation
And how things are going from you know...
Things like gender equality to racial disparity
And I just don't feel like we can overlook one particular issue
I feel like these are all issues that face us on a daily basis
And it's just, there's really nothing more to say about it
