lyrics

Something of freedom
Something to believe in
Something worth fighting for
That's all I really want
Something of freedom
Something to believe in
Something worth dying for
That's all I really want

Agreements of allegiance
Pledged daily by kids and teens and
Our taxes paid by workers made up
of good people seasoned
To do what's right "Your futures bright
Just follow don't ask for reason
Help the cause follow the laws
You'll reap the benefits in the end"
But the pensions gone, gambled away along
With your home and job, It's just the same old song
Elected leaders won't be seen
They sold their allegiance on your grievance
Now tell me when the dollar rules
What are we left to believe in?

Something of freedom
Something to believe in
Something worth fighting for
That's all I really want

(BOS the Rapper)

American dream high up on a pedestal
Overtime every week, just like I said I'd do
80 hours every week, barely covers medical
Taxes slashing my check, backbreak inevitable
Sloggin through a system that's designed for me to fail
Underweight and underpaid but grinding for a meal
reppin for the flag but I'm kneeling for what's real
Still Standing for what's right and it dont matter how I feel
When you Separate the people, soldiers from the scholars
you fightin with fools, you thinking with the cowards
While you Watching all the dramas and the rich are gettin richer
House is playing with my money while the sick are getting sicker
Sick of Sittin in the cold, worn calloused and broke
circus is thick with the thieves and the clowns run the show

Something of freedom
Something to believe in
Something worth fighting for
That's all I really want
Something of freedom
Something to believe in
Something worth dying for
That's all I really want

Something of freedom
Something to believe in
Something worth fighting for
That's all I really want
Something of freedom
Something to believe in
Something worth dying for
That's all I really want
