Lyrics A Story of Freedom - A-natural

Fifteen, he was in a weird place
Caught between the truth and tryna save face
Doing right by his family practicing his faith
Never knew why this thing would always elevate
Girlfriend on his arm, a good plan
Couldn't tell nobody except his best friend
The truth about each other would stop the whole world
But for now, couldn't risk letting go of his girl
One night the secret came out
It didn't matter who, it only mattered how
Would everybody react to seeing the truth now
Daddy broke the door down to snatch the knife out

Do you know the way to get to freedom, freedom oh
Do you know the way to get there?
Do you know the way to get to freedom, freedom oh
Can somebody tell me what's there?

Years later the boy became a man
Free in how he thinks and doing the best he can
Still looking for love but what he found instead
Was some niggas that only wanted some ass and money spent
Truth is he sympathized with the pain
They wanted to live free but still rocking old chains
Of what a real man is supposed to be
Never knowing true love can't begin til you're free
One day I pray they finally see the light
Open their eyes wide enough to finally find
That it ain't about the labels, the tables already set
The battle is the Lord's and She don't care about sex

Do you know the way to get to freedom, freedom oh
Do you know the way to get there?
Do you know the way to get to freedom, (Anybody know the way)
Freedom oh
Can somebody tell me what's there?

At a time that's so unsure
Can we be authentic to who we are?
Can we love each more
Or will differences become a war scar?

Oh
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
(Free to be me)
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
(You can be free too)
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
I just wanna be free
(Take it up)
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
(Oh, I pledge allegiance)
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
(To my independence)
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
(Nobody holding me back)
I just wanna be free
(And baby that's a fact)
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
(Free yeah)
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
(I wanna be free yeah)
I just wanna be free wit ya baby
I just wanna be free
