So Free - Maverick Sabre

We can be so free

Why’s it been so serious

We can be so free

Why’s it been so serious

Little kids with big sticks in projects

Prison systems inflict the poorest

Innocents they ain’t changed the laws yet

It’s criminal to engage with force yet wars are so lawless

Got to be cautious

Policemen will cuff you so thoughtless

Whether it be the colour your skin or the number of your trim

It’s never from what’s within, together we’re struggling

Don’t you cry, don’t you cry

All of my tears are for you

And I don’t know why, don’t know why

No one hears the truth

We can be so free

Why’s it been so serious

We can be so free

Why’s it been so serious

Lonely single mother trying to make it on her own

Nobody to love her or to put her on a throne

So she grows, beautiful queen, you’ll never know

How much that I am sorry for the men that came before

Beat up and raped, treat like a slave

He lost his way and you kept it brave

Give me your pain and we can both fly away

I don’t want to see us so divided

I don’t want to deal with all the violence

How we gonna heal if we keep silent?

Been going on for years through empires and kings

They don’t wanna teach us to be righteous

In school they’re never teachin' us the right things

Is the power worth the hate that’s in your eyes, kid

I hope this place will change before I’m in the grave

Don’t you cry, don’t you cry

All of my tears are for you

And I don’t know why, don’t know why

No one hears the truth

We can be so free

Why’s it been so serious

We can be so free

Why’s it been so serious

We can be so free (We can be, we can be)

Why’s it been so serious (Why has it been so serious)

We can be so free (We can be, we can be)

Why’s it been so serious (Why has it been so serious)
