Freedom lyrics
Written by Deitrick Haddon
1st verse
I bust through the doors of the church on the run
My pastor said son where have you been what have you done
I hear helicopters and police surrounding my church
I said I know I'm a heathen but I still believe that prayer still works
They're claiming my finger prints are on the gun
And I know they're convinced that I'm the one.
Pastor I need your advise- I'm looking at 25 years to life
and I just don't want another man making love to my wife

B section
Don't tell me the truth will set you free
Cause there ain't no justice for a black man like me
I already got homies of mine doing time
So pastor please forgive me
Sometimes I just don't believe that
The truth with set you free

2nd verse
I said momma please find me another attorney
Cause the one that they gave me don't care too much for me
He be judging me
Momma please
forgive me for calling collect
If it's one thing I know
you and Jesus never failed me yet

Got down on my knees
In my jail cell
The next thing I knew they just said you posted bail

B section

Bridge
Sometimes I don't believe
The truth will set you free now
Sometimes I don't believe
The truth will get you freedom

Vamp
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
I said I know I'm a heathen but I believe that prayer still works.
