SET ME FREE by Excuseme47 Lyrics
[VERSE]
I often wonder if I could afford the fancy things
Sometimes I think about the pleasure that it really brings
And if I had to think about the Pharaohs and the Kings
This mental slavery would have me wearing golden chains
This path I've chosen as an artist its my only flame
I'm still in college education entering my brain
The repercussions that we paying when we smoke and drink
Can you remember when the memory loss is setting in
We value money to a point where people suffering
Society build a propriety and then you win
But if I lose I got a message to reveal for free
With all of this will all my people really make it free
[HOOK]
Can you set me free
I don't want to be friends
This love is lost forever
So sad this is the end
But I'm glad you set me free
This showed me who I am
And now I'm doing better
You don't have pretend
Like you didn't set me free
[VERSE]
It nice to know I got some friends who really got my back
And if they make it to my shows I'll bring them to the front
That way they get to see up close just how I really stunt
Materialistic but that's not the way I wanna flaunt
Id rather show you through the melodies
It seems like you get more free shit as a celebrity
But what is money to man who never made a dollar
It doesn't matter if he reads then he'll become a scholar
[high/low] I'm tired of the raps talking bout the drugs
Cus if we in the trap can we make it to the love
With a dirty state of mind I'm just tryna get a scrub
If ya your momma raised you well then welcome to the club
Cus the money that we spend shows the power we pretend
That it seems we really have but it's missing like them dads
Good ol Father Time is the only thing I had
So it's ironic when I say that my moms is like my dad
[HOOK]
Can you set me free
I don't want to be friends
This love is lost forever
So sad this is the end
But I'm glad you set me free
This showed me who I am
And now I'm doing better you don't have pretend
Like you didn't set me free
[VERSE]
Now everybody lemme see you put your hands up
Now everybody lemme see you put your hands up
This is for my people if you ever been jammed up
Thought that you was lost and you'll never make it out
That's why I made this song see I wanna help you out
If I lend a couple dollars will that really help you out
But if I bless with you with this knowledge will you take a different route
I was raised in New York but I lived in the west and south
Georgia what It do cali what It do
I promise I'll be back when I'm on tour rolling through
Tryna be the best the only way I power through
Feel like neo in the matrix cus he had the power to
Change the way we think so we could be more powerful
Never giving up that's something that a coward do
If I was in for the money would the passion be the same
Could the point of this issue is be im tryna make a name
Just set me free
[HOOK]
Can you set me free, (I wanna be free)
I don't want to be friends, (no more)
This love is lost forever, (not to be found)
So sad this is the end, (we parted ways)
But I'm glad you set me free, (here I am)
This showed me who I am, (I recognized)
And now I'm doing better, ( yes I am)
You don't have pretend
Like you didn't set me free
I often wonder if I could afford the fancy things
Sometimes I think about the pleasure that it really brings
And if I had to think about the Pharaohs and the Kings
This mental slavery would have me wearing golden chains
This path I've chosen as an artist its my only flame
I'm still in college education entering my brain
The repercussions that we paying when we smoke and drink
