0:09I just wanna be free

0:14Free

0:17Free

0:20I just wanna be free

0:24Yeah, look

0:27Albany Marina, they done served us a hundred subpoenas

0:30I done got my shit inside arenas like Gilbert Arenas

0:33I remember lobster ravioli up at Serafina

0:36I was in a dream hotel before I was in the Loop like a carabiner, yeah

0:42And shout to all the sweet tings from Willamina

0:44Who tell me at the white party, "Drake, I love the album, man, well, I mean, you're kinda genius"

0:49And like Dipset, they really mean it, yeah

0:53I need compliments 'cause lately, it's just falling-outs and disagreements, industry is really evil

1:00And I faced the way they paint me, but it Hurts just like the Philly Eagles

1:04L.A. love the sound, I could play a show for a million people

1:06Don't be surprised, you see the whole YM in CA just like The Village People

1:12These niggas measurin' they dick size in millimeters

1:15I rack up a tab in Chanel 'cause I do buy everything like I'm Middle Eastern

1:20But I realize it's gotta get a little deeper

1:23Other than me talking 'bout the way I'm flippin' dough like Little Caesars

1:27I'm tryna catch one of you boys stargazin' in the field like little leaguers, yeah

1:32And ain't no passes for you Crip walkin', all of that diss talkin', kiddo, beat it

1:36I'm supposed to be my brother's keeper, so don't make us hit another buzzer beater

1:41And don't be suddenly eager to hit me up and have no discussions either

1:45Now you gotta plan a meeting with me just like the Russian leader and shake my fuckin' hand in front of other people

1:51Yeah, fuck the chatter

1:53Since 2009, as I climb the ladder

1:56They envy me like Nevada, but it never mattered

1:58My nigga run a phone soon as you check into prison

2:01Your nigga run and talk to Hov for a second opinion

2:05Me, I stood ten T's and accepted the mission

2:08'Cause I'd much rather death than submission

2:11How can you press the ignition and let some memories of the past affect your decision?

2:16I love you 'cause of the history, but if we bein' real, I could never forgive you

2:20And you never called me back, but destiny's written, for real

2:25Fuck a big three anyway, there was too many chefs in the kitchen, it was a mess to begin with, yeah

2:31And now they got a new GOAT and we gotta test the position

2:35Damn, who is this guy for real? I guess a magician

2:38Hundred million streams vanished, no one got questions for niggas

2:42Well, maybe I'm best as the villain

2:43'Cause I got real numbers on niggas who say they got billions

2:47I got all the chains that they ever repped in Virginia

2:49I got niggas' prized possessions, I get posessive on niggas

2:52I am pressin' everything, I'll get impressive on niggas

2:55I got problems with people who I would've never dreamed

2:58And that's draggin' people in who don't wanna get in between

3:01Dog, I was aidin' Ross with streams before Adin Ross had ever streamed

3:05And, Khaled, you know what I mean

3:07The beef was fully live, you went halal and got on your deen

3:10And your people are still waitin' for a free Palestine

3:13But apparently everything isn't black and white and red and green, damn

3:18I'm seein' everyone's true colors, for real, I'm sensin' a theme

3:22I'm greater than everybody like some shredded cheese

3:25I was in Hazelton at the One before I was in the Loop like a set of keys

3:30Shout out to Cherokee Dee and Skyy Black

3:33'Cause they was at my birthday when I was searchin' big-booty ebonies, jeez

3:38Now the penthouse in Bahamas is right next to Jordan like I'm Lebanese

3:42And apparently niggas' souls is for sale like the seven seas

3:46I gave you everything you ever need

3:48But let me find out that Amex the only ones that credit me for makin' y'all everything you could never be

3:54My sixth sense is kickin' in 'cause all I hear is people that are dead to me

3:59And that's why I'm turnin' on my read receipts

4:01To let you know that everything that's said to me will forever be stored in my memory

4:06I'm better off independent, they should let him leave, yeah

4:11'Cause I just wanna be free

4:19Free, free, free

4:26Free

4:29I just wanna be free, free, free, free
