lyrics

Freedom come
Freedom ring
Freedom go
Freedom fly
Freedom float
Freedom runs
Freedom knows
Freedom makes
Freedom takes
Freedom fakes
Freedom steals
Freedom raps, sings, drums, kneels
On a one two rhythm freedom dances
And manages to handle necromancing
Can't stand it when the demon only comes to take
Doesn't give anything when you respond to fate
Nay

I want to escape this place
I want to get out of here

When freedom attacked I got a bit overwhelmed
Tried to make a statement
Ran too fast and then I fell
Right into hell
And I use that word loosely
Like hell is when you wanna write
But you don't have looseleaf
"Knock knock"
Who's there?
"Noc"
Knock who?
Nocturnal Poet, Nocturnal Truth
The truth is I miss home and eating good food
If I was home I'd be sleeping
Not speaking to you
No offense
You're still my favorite audience
But now I'm rapping because I need it
Not because it makes sense
Now it's getting late
And dreams seem to be around the way
I wanna close my eyes and say peace today

I wanna escape this place
I wanna get out of here
I don't know where I'm going
But I know that I'm not scared

Found God in a half remembered dream
He was on the floor
Trembling
Hugging his knees
He didn't have the Power
To explain himself
But I could tell by his eyes that he needed my help
Then I woke up
Like I had enough rest
Time to restart my quest for a little Happiness
Don't sweat
But if you do Don't Hate
Which is hard when the heat likes to escalate
See I'm a featherweight
Acting like a Soldier
Trapped in a hotbox like it's never over
It's been a Wonderful Adventure
Sarcastic and clever
But my people are done with taking drastic measures
Together, is a fragile little word
At least that's what I heard from the hummingbird
Democracy is another
A widowed mother
Armed and bitter
You better run for cover

I want to escape this place
I want to get out of here
I don't know where I'm going
But I know that I'm not scared
This life you've given me
I know that it's not fair
I know that it's not fair
I know that.
