I'm Seeking

I'M...SEEKING...
MILLIONS RATHER THAN PENNIES FOR MY THOUGHTS
THEY SPEAK OF 5TH AMENDEMENT BUT FREEDOM'S WHAT I SOUGHT
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, AS A MEANS TO FREE MY MIND
FREEDOM'S ALWAYS SPOKEN OF, BUT NOT CLEARLY DEFINED
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE, LISTEN, I'M LEADING THE BLIND
SHADES OF GREY, THE WAY THAT THEY'VE DESIGNED
FREEDOM, SUPPOSEDLY SUPPOSED TO BE FREE TO MANKIND
YOU CAN LOOK, YOU CAN SEARCH, BUT FREEDOM YOU'LL NEVER FIND
BUT WHEN MY VOICE BELTS IT OUT, GOVERNMENT CALLS IT BLASPHEMY
LABEL ME A PROBLEM AND THEY'RE QUICKLY OUTCASTING ME
KILL THE LEADER, KILL THE MOVEMENT, THE MIND STATE THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. X AND KING AND MAY I ADD?
REMEMBER JFK? DAMN SHAME! SINGLE BULLET THEORY?
NO WONDER ALL THE LEADERS, TEND TO BE SO WEARY
BUT I'M ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL, ON A DIFFERENT PLATEAU
IN THIS DOG EAT DOG WORLD, WHERE DO ALL THE CATS GO?
SPARKING THE MIND OF THE YOUNG, MOTIVATING THE OLD
BRAINWASHED BY THE GARBAGE THEY'VE BEEN FED AND BEEN SOLD
NICKEL AND DIMING, HOPING THEY'LL MAKE CENTS
HOPING FOR CHANGE AND WAITING IN SUSPENSE
SICK AND TWISTED MENTALITY FRUSTRATION TURNS TO BRUTALITY
FRIENDS AND FAMILY TAKEN FROM US, UNFORTUNATE CASUALTIES
MAMA DOWN ON HER KNEES PRAYING FOR BETTER DAYS
RUNNING THE NEVER ENDING WHEEL OR, STUCK IN A MAZE
AND STILL I'M AMAZED, THEY AIN'T REACHING FOR FREEDOM
WAITING IN VAIN HOPING SOMEONE WILL FREE THEM
COMMUNITY LEADERS LIMITED IN THEIR ABILITY
QUESTION THE PROJECTS, THEY SAY BE THANKFUL FOR STABILITY
LIQUOR STORES ESTABLISHED, PRODUCING THE TRANQUILITY
THEY NEED US TO DISPLAY TO DERAIL OUR MOBILITY
YOU SEE THEY PUT US IN PROJECTS, SUBJECTED TO POVERTY
LETTING YOU BUY THE HOUSES, BUT BANKS TAKING YOUR PROPERTY
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY? WELL TELL ME WHERE'S THE EQUALITY
WHILE THE RICH ARE GETTING RICHER, WE STILL SUFFERING WITH THE ECONOMY
EVERYTHING ON THE RISE, EXCEPT OUR PAY
STILL THEY TELL US BE PATIENT, AND WAIT FOR THE DAY
WHEN THINGS'LL GET BETTER, BUT HERE'S WHAT I SAY
WE WEREN'T MEANT TO EVER LIVE IN THIS WAY
FREEDOM IS RINGING...SO LET FREEDOM RING
KUM BUM YA'S WHAT THE PEOPLE, GATHER TO SING
WE DESERVE BETTER WAGES, BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS
FREEDOM TO PURCHASE OUR HOUSES, WITH NO OTHER REMISSIONS
THREE LITTLE WORDS YES WE CAN
I HAVE A DREAM DIDN'T DIE WITH THE MAN
A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME AND YOU
IF FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM'S WHAT WE MUST DO.
