"Freedom"

(Hook)
So, I'm gon'(heyyyyy-ahh-heyyyyy!) close my eyes,
And I'm gon' live my life (oooh-ooh), (this is my life).
Despite what you think,
I'mma be free (oooh-ooh-hoo-ooh!), 'cause I'mma be me, yeah.

(Hook)
Said (eeh) I'm gon'close my eyes (yeah-hey-hey!),
And I'm gon' live my life (ooh-ahh-la-hoo-yeah-hey).
Despite what you think (yeah, yeah),
I'mma be free (yeah-hey), 'cause I'mma be me (mmm-mmm), yeah.

(Verse 1)
See, I ain't never think I would have a situation
Where the people around me just envy, I must replace 'em.
See, I always thought the people that watch me grow,
Would wanna 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.

(Bridge)
And all that jealousy and hate,
Could 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.

(Hook)
So, I'm gon' close my eyes (eyes),
And I'm gon' live my life (life).
Despite what you think,
I'mma be free, 'cause I'mma be me, yeah.

(Hook)
Said I'm gon' close my eyes (eyes),
And I'm gon' live my life (life).
Despite what you think,
I'mma be free, 'cause I'mma be me, yeah.

(Verse 2)
See, everybody wanna have something to talk about,
So they pointin' their fingers and always runnin' their mouths.
No matter how you try to satisfy someone else,
Givin' so much of yourself, yo' love, but it's never enough.
The more you give, the more they want, and 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 wanna hear by now it's too late.

(Bridge)
And all that jealousy and hate,
Could 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.

(Hook)
So, I'm gon' close my eyes (eyes),
And I'm gon' live my life (life).
Despite what you think,
I'mma be free, 'cause I'mma be me, yeah (yeah)!

(Hook)
Said I'm gonna close my eyes (eyes),
And I'm gonna live my life (life).
Despite what you think,
I'mma be free, 'cause I'mma be me, yeah.

(Verse 3)
See, what they don't understand is
That I'm a keep livin' my life and survivin',
And I'mma keep pushin', and strivin', and climbin', and grindin'.
'Cause ain't no time to be crying;
I been providing with the strength to carry my way (carry my way).
And I'mma be ok (I'mma be ok), 'cause I'm gone live my life my way,
You can say what you wanna say, it won't affect the way I'm living.
I'm winnin' by being free again, yeah.

(Hook)
So I'm gon' close my eyes (eyes),
And I'm gon' live my life (life).
Despite what you think,
I'mma be free, 'cause I'mma be me, yeah.

(Hook)
Said I'm gonna close my eyes (eyes),
And I'm gonna live my life (life).
Despite what you think,
I'mma be free, 'cause I'mma be me, yeah!

(Outro)
Yeah, yeah, heyyy... 'cause it's my life...
My life... my life... my life, my life, my life, my life...
Yeah-yeah.
