Hate you, you hate me, I ain't let you break me
A slave? No, that ain't me
I'm just tryna break free
Dug a whole waist deep but I'm feeling a thief
I've been thinking lately I just need to break free
More than what you made me, a game, you played me
The same time you saved me forcing me to break free
Now that you should leave, I come back, you believing
If not, you don't need 'em
The search for your freedom.

Searching from freedom
Search for your freedom
Searching, searching
Searching, searching

Shackled, thoughts gave me bad food
Back against the wall feeling speckled, I ask you
What am I to do, the slave man is a part of me
It's really all I know, I gotta get these chains off of me
I feel like lately I've even learned to hate me
The goal was to break me before I broke free
Planning my escape I was blinding the way you'll see
It's your loss, I'm here to win faces
Subliminal thoughts between the lines that I like to read
Help me realize the life I lead ain't the life for me
I need more hoping you won't think less of me
It's not right, you took all that was left of me
So now my mind's made up, kicks waist up
Let it burn alcohol on a fresh shape up
I'm leaving, you're barely breathing
And you're the reason, a slave to the law, searching for freedom.

Hate you, you hate me, I ain't let you break me
A slave? No, that ain't me
I'm just tryna break free
Dug a whole waist deep but I'm feeling a thief
I've been thinking lately I just need to break free
More than what you made me, a game, you played me
The same time you saved me forcing me to break free
Now that you should leave, I come back, you believing
If not, you don't need 'em
The search for your freedom

Searching from freedom
Search for your freedom
Searching, searching
Searching, searching

The elder told me go North, young man
You follow the stars, no time to follow your heart
I follow my smarts learning to keep everything I learned intact
Determine that, for me there's no turning back
A new world and now I bought something
At first I trembled at the thought of it so I never thought of it
Decisions they made, it was hard as the pavement
But what you call love, I call enslavement
The days came and went that I would yearn to hold you
It's like we out the hood now them good times it's over
Weight off my shoulders, ain't weight on those soldiers
I moved out, new route, ain't wait on no roaches
And they see wake up call was all hex and balls
I profit with the lock picks, now the shackle's off
The bridges burned, figure I would never need them
The rivers pause looking off, searching for freedom
Hate you, you hate me, I ain't let you break me
A slave? No, that ain't me
I'm just tryna break free
Dug a whole waist deep but I'm feeling a thief
I've been thinking lately I just need to break free
More than what you made me, a game, you played me
The same time you saved me forcing me to break free
Now that you should leave, I come back, you believing
If not, you don't need 'em
The search for your freedom

Hate you, you hate me, I ain't let you break me
A slave? No, that ain't me
I'm just tryna break free
Dug a whole waist deep but I'm feeling a thief
I've been thinking lately I just need to break free
More than what you made me, a game, you played me
The same time you saved me forcing me to break free
Now that you should leave, I come back, you believing
If not, you don't need 'em
The search for your freedom

Searching from freedom
Search for your freedom
Searching, searching
Searching, searching.
