Ashanti lyrics - Freedom

album: Concrete Rose (2004)
genre: 

[chorus]
So im gone close my eyes and 
I'm gone live my life 
Despite what you think imma be free 
Cause imma be me [x2] 
 
See I aint never think that I would have the situation 
Where the people around me just envy, I must replace em 
See I always thought the people that watch me grow 
Woud want to see me blow 
Fa' sho, but little did I know 
They aint never really wanna see me smilin' 
They couldnt take the fact that I was really shinin' 
But in my heart i know they wishin I would stop 
Cause they dont want me to rise and be on top 

And all that jealousy and hate 
Could be right in front of your face 
And its gon' hurt for you to see 
But it aint your fault just let it be 

So im gone close my eyes and 
I'm gone live my life 
Despite what you think imma be free 
Cause imma be me [x2] 

See everybody wanna have somethin' to talk about 
So they pointin they fingers and always runnin' they mouths 
No matter how you try satisfy someone else 
Givin so much of yourself, your love 
But its never enough 
The more you give the more they want 
And they aint happy 
And they dont see all that you do to make them happy 
They dont appreciate it 'til you walk away 
But you dont wanna hear it by now it's too late 

And all that jealousy and hate 
Could be right in front of your face 
And its gon' hurt for you to see 
But it aint your fault just let it be 

So im gone close my eyes and 
I'm gone live my life 
Despite what you think imma be free 
Cause imma be me [x2] 

What they dont understand is imma keep livin my life and survivin 
Imma keep pushin and strivin and climbin and grindin 
Cause it aint no time ta be cryin, i been thru a lot, witnessed strength 
To carry my weight 
And imma be okay (and imma be okay) 
Cause imma live my life my way 
And you can say what you wanna say 
It wont effect the way Im livin 
Im winnin by bein free again 

So im gone close my eyes and 
I'm gone live my life 
Despite what you think imma be free 
Cause imma be me [x2] ]
