This is for the kid who was told he wouldn't be much
This is for the kid who didn't listen to teachers
This is for the kid who couldn't sit in the bleachers
Instead he's in the pews and listening to the preachers
Read us some Jesus for the kid who believed it
More for the kid who would eventually leave it
This is for the kid who never stopped the dreaming
This is for the kid who realized he's all he needed
This is for the kid who made it
For the kid who would always feel a little hated
For what he did and said even if he didn't say it
He would still see the punishment precipitated
He got obliterated
This is for the kid who waited
And kept a smile on but could have been a little jaded
Problems would pile on but never got intimidated
For the child who has grown into a thing of greatness
They said that you'd never make it now look at you liberated
Yeah, yeah, you liberated
Liberated, liberated, liberated, liberated
Yeah, you liberated
Well
Welcome
This is for the world but intended for the boy
The little one inside who would do anything for joy
The itty bitty kid who didn't get too many toys
And had to go door to door just so he could get employed
Yeah, this is for me but I'm sharing it with you
And anyone else who might be going through it too
Who had to do whatever you had to do
Yeah, this is for you, you, you, you, and you
This is for the rose that sprouted from the crack in the concrete road
They doubted because he lacked any H2O
But now look at him act like I ain't got woes
Like how did I do that
This is for the old man who didn't let go of his young soul, man
A little retro
Now he just holds hands with his best girl and watches the whole plan unfold
Like oh damn, I'm liberated
God damn, I'm liberated
Motherf*cker, I'm liberated
Well
