Little Simz – Is This Freedom? lyrics

[Chorus]

I woke from reality
And tell the world the shit was made for me
I wish you saw what I could see
Maybe you're not meant to, yeah, I believe
You think you know the half of me
Please don't believe in everything you see
I control your universe, just let me be

What does it mean to be free?
What does it mean to be free?
What does it mean to be free?
What does it mean to be free?
What does it mean to be free?

[Verse 1]

Oh please, control your mind
Enemies is all we see
We just want peace within this land
How to breathe is beyond me
The shit ain't easy where we stand
Just release this energy
That I've been holding in my hands
Yeah I know, I know that this is not a front
You will not defeat our purpose
You can scream it all you want
I've been told I will reap the things I saw
Blow some trees, get in my zone
What is freedom as we know it
I believe it's in my soul
Oh, far beyond despair
From the start gave you my heart
That it's my art, but do you care
I don't know
Played my part and this my role
Scars just from my cast but not the time
Of where I go, no
I've been challenging my mind right
Just tryina get my mind right
Searching for something special
Man I got what you can't find right
This my time, tryina remember faces
It's like forgetting the basic
Shit this life well i embrace it

[Chorus]

I woke from reality
And tell the world the shit was made for me
I wish you saw what I could see
Maybe you're not meant to, yeah, I believe
You think you know the half of me
Please don't believe in everything you see
I control your universe, just let me be

What does it mean to be free?
What does it mean to be free?
What does it mean to be free?
What does it mean to be free?
