I breathe the free man's air in these city streets
Every glorious inhalation's a symphony
‘cause here, the smartest people in our nation's history
Gathered to start a party and suddenly had epiphanies
What if we were kings?
How amazing it would be
It was a vision seen for you and for me
So no matter what I'm wearing when I'm spitting things
Underneath my similes I always wear my Liber Tee
There's a convention up in Philly tonight
So raise that star spangled banner in the shimmering light
I keep a copy of the Constitution in my left pocket
And a stack of bills in my right next to the Bill of my Rights, aight?
And when I'm not in my apartment writing parchment
I'll be raising up the roof of both the chambers in the congress
I'll be colonizing all these minds until they know we're sovereign
Looking at the competition, we're the hottest on the MARKET (street, show sign)
Now let's celebrate our individuality
No such thing as destiny when I'm in office mentally
The government can let me be, but also be protecting me
We can live united when the power's divvied separately
We're bound together by a common sense morality
Next time, don't go having tea parties without me!
Please
‘Cause no matter what I'm wearing when I'm spitting things
Underneath my similes I always wear my Liber Tee
Let's come up with something so the country can function
Let our difference of opinion be the subject of discussion
If the government's humongous then we run into corruption
So give power to the people's representative republic
Yo, we must confer the public sir!
Rationally, that must occur
But rashly, and it's just absurd
Let's ratify a couple words
May all men and women keep the rights that they can champion
Like life liberty and pursuit of happiness
We the people just established that we're living free
Secured our blessings and declared a new ability
To sweep away the throne beneath a tyrant with nobility
And transfer the power from the crown to the citizenry
If you don't wanna join the party then I pity thee
But even if you're not American, you can sing with me
See?
‘cause no matter what I'm wearing when I'm spitting things
Underneath my similes I always wear my Liber-T
The Fathers were smart, and from the bottom of heart
They knew that Natural Law is what surpasses them all
Being conceived on planet earth is where equality starts
And opportunity is key for innovation to spark
So I'mma take off my hat
And give a pat on the back
To the guys who knew that man was born without a saddle on back
And even though it took some time to make that kind of magic happen
When their fingers snapped, a more perfect union had been drafted
People take it for granted, but it's a blessing
If you've never lived without it, then it's easy to forget it
See? ‘Cause
Freedom means that you can do what you want
As long as you don't harm another, and the circle goes on
That's the reason I can fight what's wrong
Rhyme so long
Or even get to write this song
Just know that I thank God
For helping guide us all
To where we might belong
And you're invited, c'mon!
See, no matter what I'm wearing when I'm spitting things
Underneath my similes my Liber-T will always ring
