We come a long way
But I got a long way to go
Dangerous dude down in Louisiana
I don't do no more
I used to carry water
15 miles
50 cent a day
It's a shame A boy
Nine years old
Had to work so hard every day
I used to pick cotton in the cotton field
Where I used to live
Don't mind picking cotton y'all
If I own the cotton fields
Take a look in the mirror
Tell me, what do you see?
What you see in the mirror?
Could see me
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
Look at me
I got the shackles off my feet, chains off my mind
I'll tell y'all
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
Look at me
Got the shackles off my feet, chains of my mind
Ain't got no boss hounding me
Out here on the road
I'm fancy free
I don't need no politician telling me you what to do
I'm free to vote, and I can vote where I want to
Someday, we all gonna find
Get the shackle of the feet, chain of your mind
Look at my eyes
Tell me, what do you see?
Can't you see the freedom in me?
Tell y'all
I'm free?
Look at me
I'm free
Can't you see
That shackle of my feet chain of my mind
I'll tell y'all
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free, look at me
Shackles of my feet, chains off my mind
I'll tell y'all
I'll tell y'all
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
Look at me
Shackles off my feet, chains off my mind
I'll tell y'all
I'm free
I'm free
Look at me
Chains off my feet, chains off my mind
I'll tell y'all
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
Look at me
Got the shackles off my feet, chains off my mind
Ha, ha, ha
I got the chains off my mind
Got the chains off my mind
Chains off my mind
I'll tell y'all
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
Look at me
Shackles off my feet, chains off my mind
