I want to live with no eyes on me
I want to wear braids and be carefree
You wear those for fun but oppress me
You steal culture and take from us constantly
Constantly, Oh
Heartlessly, You
Angrily I cry out in disbelief
Envision all the reasons why we grief
Home of the brave, but you're cowardly
Land of the free, but we're hardly free
Hardly free, Oh
I wanna be free (Free)
I don't wanna live my life despondently
Prejudice and power, you oppress me
I don't understand why you wanna be me
Don't want my skin but you want to be me
Want to be (Be)
Be, Be Free
Free
Be Free
