06/meek mill, rick ross, and jay-z/what's free
"oh say can you see, can you tell me what's free?..."
free is when nobody else can tell you what to be. free is when the TV ain't controllin' what we see.
free is letting them know that, yeah you made a few mistakes, but they don't define you, you are simply human, and you are and deserve better. free is moving from a slave to a king in the land of the "free" where the blacks are enslaved ("three fifths of a man i believe's the phrase"). free is letting them know that when they bring up your name, they speak FACTS - no slave, no house nigga, FREE. they try to keep us out of sight, police our way of being, separate us when you got mike and prince's dna, all while expecting you to not feel some type of way. so they came through with that heat, running it down cause sometimes you gotta let em know; off the head, this improv, but it's no comedy. this that sucka free shit. six minutes of cinematic film noir excellence in the form of a song with three street disciples, battle scarred and now kings. that's free.
