Gangstagrass - Freedom

If you’re not sparking Gangstagrass, I recommend you sample the new strain of that good ? 

  Gangstagrass - FreedomVerse One: Dolio the SleuthLast night I saw a bright red comet in the skyI asked for its purpose, and it gave me a replyIt said "soon come the day massa dies, but first you must prepare, keep your eyes on the prize"Through the beat of the drum, by the light of the fireWe decide to be free as a bird when it fliesSo we ready every axe, and we sharpen every knifeGet our people inside ready and willing to take a lifeThere are none worth saving, we'll be soon done slavingfor now we must behave as usual while we're makingOur plan to to reach the promised land of liberationwe'll be breaking chains before the beast dem awakenWatch the houses ablaze with flames before they cave inNo more will our pleas to the sky be forsakenAll praises due there'll be much celebrationPlantation will be gone by the day's endChorus: GangstagrassAin't gonna wait no more to get this freedom,Ain't gonna wait no more to get this freedom,[Dolio] Gonna take this axe, and plant it in yo' backAin't gonna wait no more to get this freedomI ain't gonna wait no more to get this freedom!Verse Two: R-SON the Voice of ReasonTime to be about the challengeSitting at the counter to create some counter balanceBroken windows, folks doing damageJust to keep a black man from having a sandwichNot even that damn famishedPromising Dr. King, hoping I can manageTo keep it peaceful in the midst of this evilIt's too much to take, damn it I can't stand itMight be time to go another routeHere come the pigs trying to drag a brother outComing with the cuffs but man I had enoughSo that fist-in-the-air just punched him in the mouthRunning through the South fleeing for my lifeFighting against wrongs cuz we're needing our rightsBut even passing laws ain't enough for y'allWhose souls are too dark to even see the lightChorus: GangstagrassAin't gonna wait no more to get this freedom,Ain't gonna wait no more to get this freedom,[R-SON] We started on this march now we gonna tear this mess apartAin't gonna wait no more to get this freedomI ain't gonna wait no more to get this freedom!Verse Three: Dolio the Sleuth & R-SON the Voice of Reason[Dolio] Learned from the past, there'll be no more marchingThe demons the same as the day that he darkenedThe shores of our precious, blessed mother continentStole our ancestors and put them on the marketThey stayed fanning the flames that they sparked withThe evil intentions they've had from the startIf we still have to fight, then we'll tear this apartPeace will be found with a spear through the heart![R-SON] Another plan is a brother man in power positionsSisters in greater control of our conditionsEven when it happens a doubt you're going to listenBut somehow consider yourself a ChristianI'm on a mission to take these levels tiltedStraighten it out for all my elders that built itDon't care whether or not guilt you feel itNot going to keep us from the freedom we will getChorus: GangstagrassAin't gonna wait no more to get this freedom, (come on, I said)Ain't gonna wait no more to get this freedom,[R-SON] Take this system and we kill it, then we flip it and rebuild it, 'cause IAin't gonna wait no more to get this freedom, (no sir)I ain't gonna wait no more to get this freedom! (naw man)I ain't gonna wait no moreI ain't gonna wait no moreI ain't gonna wait no more to get this freedom!([R-SON] Freedom songs for the sake of my fam)Download or stream here:Gangstagrass - Freedom
