If You Know That You’re Free
If you know you’re free
Then you’re free
If you’re still asking for freedom
Then you might not be
How high can you go
If you have no belief
How healthy can your soul be
When you worship a thief
If you know you’re free
Then you’re free
If your debt is out of control
Then you might not be
How high can you go
When stacking paper is your belief
Founded in 1492 by Columbus
Columbus was a thief
If you know you’re free
Then you’re free
If you still believe the propaganda
Then you might not be
How high can you go
When violence is your belief
The government bailed out Wall street
Wall street is a thief
If you know you’re free
Then you’re free
If you’re blindly patriotic
Then you might not be
How high can you go
When worshiping man is your belief
The war on terrorism
Is funded by a thief
If you know you’re free
Then you’re free
If you’re standing in line on Black Friday
Then you might not be
How high can you go
If consumerism is your belief
Corporate America funds the news you believe
The news is funded by a thief
This land is my land
My land is the land of the free
If you live in fear and with hate
Then you might not be
How high can you go
When the media controls your belief
How will you get to heaven
Believing the word of a thief
If you know you’re free
Then you’re free
If your life is fueled by love
Then YOU JUST MIGHT BE
There are no limits
When God is your belief
When you live with a purpose
You don’t have to worry about a thief
If you know you’re free
Then you’re free
You’re free
You’re free…
Get Up
Every time I fall down, I get up.
I get up for every nappy haired knock kneed boy who was called a nigger.
I get up for every little kid that came from a broken home.
I get up for every kid that was taught to get low at the sound of gunfire.
I get up for every student that’s had a teacher who didn’t believe in them.
I get up for every brother who’s been attacked, cuffed, pushed down on the street, and thrown in the back of a police car for not having a California license plate.
I get up for every human being who’s been told that they ain’t shit, will never be shit, and can’t do shit about it.
I get up for every person who’s been told they’re going to hell for not going to church.
I get up, for every person who’s ever had an unrealistic dream.
I get up, for everyone who’s ever been poor, oppressed, endured racism, and fought through sickness without health care.
I get up for everyone who’s too afraid to get up.
I get up every time I fall so that you know,
Lying on the ground is no place for a child of God, regardless of what man thinks about you.
I get up for you.
