[Pre-Intro: TOBi]
They would rather see you cry than see themselves smile
That’s how I know the devil is not in exile
Turn the flesh of a reptile into a textile
Snakeskin leathers when i step out, Raaaaa
Daytrip took it to 10, hey!
[Intro]: TOBi & Haviah Mighty
Freedom, freedom
I’m just tryna get in your arms tonight
(I’m just tryna get in your arms tonight)
I know it's cold out here
I know it all please have no fear
[Verse 1]: Haviah Mighty
Haviah Look
I ain’t even flagged up
I ain’t even ganged up
Mighty gang no handguns
I don’t need your handcuffs
Black skin on a backspin, ‘cause they don’t understand us
Our narrative abandoned
Replaced with propaganda
Disentangle all these messes
Hard to handle all these stresses
You have the right to remain silent ... and then they cancel all these blessings
But ay, who the fuck Miranda
Walking onto my Veranda
Saying I gotta put my hands up
Making all of these demands, uh
It’s panoramic, every angle off
But I ain’t finna get ran up on
And I be muting these Babylon
‘Cause I ain’t putting these shackles on
Ankle monitors the same
I know you probably wanna slave
So all my partners gon’ behave...
Free or fall into my grave, still riding
[Hook]
Still ridin, till ridin
Still lookin lookin
Still ridin, still ridin
Still lookin for me
Where you at?
Where you been?
Doing work all day
Where you at
Where you going
Tryna get home safe
Still ridin, till ridin
Still lookin lookin
Still ridin, still ridin
Still lookin for me
Where you at?
Where you been?
Doing work all day
Where you at
Where you going
Tryna get home safe
[Verse 2]: Shad K
Its a fine line
Its a fine line still
Always gotta walk it straight
Plus we gotta climb hills
Plus the place a minefield
We just tryna find meals
Hurt from time
While they say that time heals
Pushed to leave home
Then stopped when we behind wheels
Then they sign the crime bills
We can't always sign seal
We need real jobs
No
Need to redefine real
I recall when i was small
Like 1999 till
It was
“Hands in your pockets (yeah)
Everyones watching
I know they do it
But that’s not an option (yeah)
Show caution
Don’t let it show though
Keep up your grades
Clean up your fade
Make em all laugh
Take a seat and behave
You need to be brave”
We still afraid though
[Hook]
Still ridin, still ridin
Still lookin lookin
Still ridin, still ridin
Still lookin for me
Where you at?
Where you been?
Doing work all day
Where you at
Where you going
Tryna get home safe
Still ridin, till ridin
Still lookin lookin
Still ridin, still ridin
Still lookin for me
Where you at?
Where you been?
Doing work all day
Where you at
Where you going
Tryna get home safe
[Verse 3]: Jazz Cartier
I hear things
I feel things
Fuck the fake love
Want the real thing
We caged birds
Song still sing
We caged birds
Songs never see the light of day
Come at me soft and i fly away
Crossing the street being stopped by police and
I pray that they gon leave me not today
Gimme the right of way uhhh
More peace and less war
Screaming fuck Doug Ford
JLF the brute force
But ain't the one they root for
False promises from false prophets
Far from perfect
Sensei bean got my jaw locking lord stop it
[Verse 4]: TOBi
BIG gone 24
Fred Hamp 21
HOV came 26
Now look what he become
Imma be a legend in my next fucking 24
Imma see some blessings in my next fucking 24 ahhh
Watch the game from the floor seats that all season
4th quarter we can’t stop till the score even
News cycles got mamas traumatized
No such thing as a long term plan when you can’t see 25
Maradona wrote this with the hand of god
See the snakes even through the camouflage
Politicians taking pictures with the kids
Same time they rob they parents blind
Ahhh never mind
Real leaders and not no pretenders
Public policy with private agendas
Corporate interests
Foreign investments
I can tell you will not be remembered
Telling me “just ride on
Let bygones be bygones”
But these arms get tired
Fuck that I write on
Way i craft this perfect picture it deserve
A Pulitzer or Cy Young
Say the good gone die young
But I hope we get
[Outro]
Freedom
I’m just tryna get in her arms tonight
Daytrip took it to 10, Hey!
