Ziggy Marley & Melody Makers - Free Like We Want 2 B
Some time you want to get off,
Leave the work and take off.
But the boss man say: " You gonna lose you pay."
No chain on your feet now,
Nine to five got you beat now.
You working hard to save,
Inflation like a tidal wave.
Are we free like we want to be?
Tell me, are we free like we want to be?
Are we free like we want to be, now?
Tell me, are we free like we want to be?
Racist get defeat,
Black man vote and take you seat.
Now them think we gonna quiet, (no)
Maybe we start a riot, now. (yeah)
What happen to the diamond they stole?
The innocent blood run cold.
Do we still have to live in poverty?
Now they say: "We're free to be poor."
But are we free like we want to be?
Blackman are we free like we want to be?
Tell me, are we free like want to be?
Are you free, are you free?
Kept in emotion, will cause an explosion.
Let your love go, let me know.
Ey! Some people expect,
That's not what them get.
Become no slave, of them evil and wicked ways!
Are we free like we want to be?
Are we free like we want to be?
Are you free like you want to be?
Are we free like we want to be?
Can't walk the streets late at night,
Without fear of parasite.
Everyone has an inborn right,
An inborn right to live.
Who gave us the reason to fight?
By promoting negative vibes?
Who taught us of drugs and crime?
Now they say we're free to homicide.
Committing genocide,
We freely homicide, committing genocide.
Man are we free like we want to be?
Black man are we free like we want to be, now?
Tell me are we free like we wannna be?
Are you free like you wanna be, now?
We want to be free.
Free like we want to be.
