lyrics

We risk life, love, peace, blood for the taste of freedom
but there won't be any freedom if we cant bring any healing
We risk life, love, peace, blood for the taste of freedom

freedom.
can u feel it ring?
feel it pulsate throughout your being.
seeing truth, feel the joy it brings,
rich like the pitch the GoldenLover sings

La La La La Let freedom ring

you know?
hot like the love glow
oh, ability to let go
yo, genuinity you just know the instant you meet an individual who's free flow
you dig?
heart so big
ride on the vibe as you dance at the gig
taste the good life, sweet like the fig
check the bright aura shootin out the wig
freedom.
to be free
to be u to be me we gotta be
just be be we gotta be
gotta be gotta be gotta
gotta be free. sing.

We gotta, we gotta, we gotta be free
we gotta, we gotta, we gotta be free

yea we gotta we oughtta its..
so easy
in theory but clearly its teasing
we struggle with the puzzle wonderin whats the reason
we can't catch that freedom
so available but yet a little out of reach
i gotta shed the dead so i can practice what i preach
shed the dead so i can practice what i preach
i gotta shed the dead so i can practice what i preach
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta BE FREE!

What is “phreedom”?
For him/her, you or me…
Speak low, sing flow or rap fast & live simply…

You feel it surge,
A primal dance with words…
Gratifies the urge,
As mystic movements merge…

Vibrations free to rise,
Earthbound spirits do drive bys
Modern rituals untie ties,
& The music gets us high…

Do you kill them softly… in every breath of your song?
Do you speak up for the oppressed or Chant down the rivers of Babylon?

Have a jig,
shake it down,
break on through & open minds…
Get your groove on,
bust a move & color outside the lines…
ready to get your freak on,
tear it up & cut a rug…
Cause in this temple,
even haters can find the phreedom… to love! LOVE… LOVE… LOVE!

Freedom is a place
Freedom is the space that I travel to
when I need to get away
grindin' on the day to day
cause I live the life of an artist but I'm tired of starving
Need to make my mark but failure haunts
Want to leave my job but my boss is calling
I yearn to be a bird but the sky is falling
Want to save the world but the problems daunting

I hear you I gotta face my fears too.
Gotta look ahead and stop checkin in the rearview.
Wanna fly high but i can't get off the ground.
I'm feelin what u said and I'm diggin on the sounds Geri

I’m feelin’ that
A paradox so wack
Gotta budget to live
Avoid the money traps

Still learnin’, livin’
Within our means
Not been’ their slave
Just loving’ free dreams

I know you right
Cause I cant keep my purse strings tight
I'm trying to stack dollars with my nickels and dimes
but this change of mine
still changes lives
cause we still gotta eat in these changing times

and despite how hard i try things just aren't what they same.
it's hard to find a balance between a budget and a dream
The more i think about it i see it's bigger than me
this mental epidemic haunts humanity

Phree-dome lost
Now here’s a meditation
capital punishment
Around the nation

Is it Retribution?
Or Rehabilitation…
We got the highest Rate
for Incarceration

We risk life, love, peace, blood for the taste of freedom
but there won't be any freedom if we cant bring any healing

Do you kill them softly… in every breath of your song?
Or do you speak up for the oppressed & Chant down the rivers of Babylon?
Phree your dome…

I know it's a decision but its difficult for me
we gotta crack the shackles people set your mind free!
