I'm Free

from Rebirth by Kamille Carondelet

about

When the actions and opinions of others no longer affect you, you become free. Free yourself!

lyrics

Chorus:
No shackles on my hands
No shackles on my feet
No chains around my brain
I can truly say
I'm free x5

Verse 1:
Not subject to words that no longer apply
Even though there are laws that I have to abide
Don't care what you call me. I give no reply
I give no attention to somethin' so sly
Don't give up free rides. So, get off my back
Still standin' tall. Still have my spine in my back
And you should call me white. Shouldn't call me black
'Cause I reflect your negatives. Not absorbin' that
A refusal to be bound
I'll break the chains you bring around
Uplift my people. Not bring them down
Bring positivity all around
'Cause that's what broke all the chains
That I had around my brain
Made the shackles disappear
'Cause I no longer live in fear

Chorus

Verse 2:
Not subject to actions that no longer apply
Even though there are laws that I have to abide
I'm not a robot. Not a pantomime
I'm not a ditto that you can catch this time
You can set your snares. You can fill 'em with drugs
I'll just run paradiddle 'fore you can hit me with slugs
I know, to you, I must really bug
But I don't care. Put that in the hole that you dug
Groupthink is somethin' I really don't like
I will resist it with all of my might
You can just try and just try and just try
I will not let you take over my mind
It ain't because I just have too much pride
I was just taught I should have my own mind
I am so sorry. You can't have me back
I like am where I am. I'm not turnin' back
