[Intro: Daishanay]
How you gon fight oppression
When you still fighting depression?
[Chorus: Thomas Burgundy]
Free your mind
You'll be alright, you'll be alright
Free your mind
You'll be alright, you'll be alright
X2
[Verse 1]
I got a lil too much on my mind
And I kinda wanna be a kid again
And I know I can't press rewind
But I really miss when life was innocent
But now I just blur all the lines between wrong and right
Choking my conscience because he can't fight
Tryna justify all this sin in my life
As if I'm the exception, I'm just tryna sleep at night
Man how you tell someone how to live their life?
When you don't even know enough about yourself?
Tryna be the one to always give advice
But deep down everyday you doubt yourself
And you doubt your faith
And surround yourself
In your own inflicted pain
That you found yourself in
Just the other day and going out don't help
Nah
So you just stay at home and tell yourself to
[Chorus]
Free your mind
You'll be alright, you'll be alright
Free your mind
You'll be alright, you'll be alright
[Verse 2]
I done spent all this time tryna find myself
But I just find myself lying to myself
Cause when I'm by myself
I'm nothing by myself
I'm just a synthesis of all my influences
So all this penmanship I write in parenthesis
Because it's just as definite as my perspective is
I'm just an inner city kid
With some inner city blues
My anxiety meets society's really shitty views
Man I wish I could exemplify what God's whispering
Damn
But I'm not listening
Momma what's wrong with me?
As the song repeats
I lip sync the devil's verses til I fall asleep
And I been worried bout some things
That are out of my control
And I forget to pray
Tryna do it on my own
Man I know God got some plans
I'll never understand
Unless I'm present
But I'm stressin'
It's affecting communication
I think He's saying
[Chorus]
Free your mind
You'll be alright, you'll be alright
Free your mind
You'll be alright, you'll be alright
