Free - Gregory Porter

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Knew she could make it right

Working late every night

Got to make money to put food on the table

And Daddy had to do the same

He knew he had to do his part

So none of his children would get caught up in the game

So I’d be young and free

Daddy made a way for me

He paved a road so my burden is lighter

And Momma did just the same

Dropping love just like rain

She said guard your heart for from it come the issues of life

Free

Free

Free

Got to do well in school

Obey that golden rule

Treat another man like you want to be treated

Share with your brotherman

If needed, give him a hand

For in the end, you might just need him

So I’d be young and free

Daddy made a way for me

He paved a road so my burden is lighter

And Momma did just the same

Dropping Love just like rain

She said guard your heart for from it, come the issues of life

Free

Free

Free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Though they both left this earth

I want to thank them for my birth

And all of the gifts they left for a lifetime

It truly was a sacrifice

They didn’t even think twice

Seven of Eight

And Gregory would be his name

So I’d be young and free

Daddy made a way for me

He paved a road so my burden is lighter

And Momma did just the same

Dropping love just like rain

She said guard your heart

But from it come the issues of life

Free, free, free

Free, free, free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free

Want to be free, got be free
