Jussie Smollett - Need Freedom Lyrics

Too many guns on the streets
And my heart can't take it no more
Like Stevie said love's in need
My heart cries out for Orlando
Philando, Alton, Sandra, Mike Brown, Garner, Trayvon
Why? Too many people gone too soon

(Get Free) Tell me how this happen
(Get Free) Where did we go wrong?
(Get Free) Say we stand together
(Get Free) Yet we choose to walk alone
(Get Free) Blood covers our streets
(Get Free) Hatred fills our homes
(Get Free) Gotta get this message out
(Get Free) Before I'm dead and gone

Gotta make it better, something's gotta change
The world needs your voice just to make it through the rain
When I think of what's going on in this world
Oh, it hurts me to see my sister not free
My sister, my brother, here with me

[Chorus]
Need freedom
The world is crying, no more sirens from guns and violence
Need freedom
We can't keep dying, way to quiet, no more silence
Need freedom
Stop this evil, free my people, we're all equal
Need freedom
The world gets brighter, keep on trying, keep on fighting for freedom

(Get Free) As I sit and think about
(Get Free) All that's going on
(Get Free) My soul cries out
(Get Free) Can you tell me please?
(Get Free) Tell me who's to blame
(Get Free) For causing all this pain
(Get Free) The ones we call to help us
(Get Free) Turn and kill us every day
(Get Free) See war is not the answer
(Get Free) Love is what we need
(Get Free) Take the chains off
(Get Free) Break the bondage, set my people free

Gotta make it better, something's gotta change
The world needs your voice just to make it through the rain
When I think of what's going on in this world
Oh, it hurts me to see my sister not free
My sister, my brother, here with me

Need freedom
The world is crying, no more sirens from guns and violence
Need freedom
We can't keep dying, way to quiet, no more silence
Need freedom
Stop this evil, free my people, we're all equal
Need freedom
The world gets brighter, keep on trying, keep on fighting for freedom
Need freedom
The world is crying, no more sirens from guns and violence
Need freedom
We can't keep dying, way to quiet, no more silence
Need freedom
Stop this evil, free my people, we're all equal
Need freedom
The world gets brighter, keep on trying, keep on fighting for freedom
