Freedom

Ashanti - Freedom

so I’m gone close my eyes

and I’m gone live my life

despite what you think Im’a be free cause Im’a be me.

See I ain’t never think I would have a situation

where the people around me just envy I must replace them

see I always thought the people that watch me grow

would want to see me blow fa’sho but little did I know

they ain’t never really wanna see me smiling.

they couldn’t take the fact that I was really shining

and in my heart I knew they was wishing I was stop

cause they don’t me to rise and be on top.

and all that jealousy and hate

can be right in front of your face

and it’s gone hurt for you to see

but it ain’t your fault just let it be

See everybody wanna have something to talk about

so they pointing their fingers and always running their mouths.

no matter how you try to satisfy someone else

giving so much of yourself yo love but it’s never enough.

the more you give them the more want they ain’t happy

and they don’t see all you do to make ’em happy

they don’t appreciate it till you walk away

but you don’t want to hear by now it’s too late.

but it ain’t your fault just let it be.

What they don’t understand is

that Im’a keep livin my life and surviving

Im’a keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding

cause ain’t no time to be crying

I been providing with the strength to carry my way

and Im’a be ok cause I’m gone live my life my way

and u can say what u wanna say it wont affect the way

I’m living I’m winning by being free again

END
