Thought that I was trapped in a cage
But I was so wrong
Cause I’ve come to realize
That I been free all along


Free to be what I want
Free to choose the life I live
Free to make any kind of songs
Free to let go of a grudge and forgive
I’ve been caught up with the what ifs
To not appreciate what’s happened
I’ve been too caught up in past shit
To realize I can change my fate if I take action
No mistakes made except made by me
No purchases made except those that were paid by me
I feel as if I can finally see
That I am who I strive to be
I am free to improve
I am free to grow
I am free to snooze
I am free to unload
My baggage onto others
Or carry the weight of the world
I am free to play the keys
That ignites the dancers to twirl

Not enslaved to
Not made to
Be afraid
I am free to reject hate
I am free to embrace pain
I am free to be open to change
The only prison that can chain me
Are the doubts of my mind that refrains me
From being the best me that I can possibly be
No one is stopping me from sowing and planting the mustard seed
I don’t got to give into peer pressure
I am free to give an honest effort
I can choose to play chess over checkers
I can season up my role with life’s salt and pepper
I can love those who are leper
I can love those who are greedy
I am free to make my life fun
I am free to make my life be easy
