Yuh, ayy
Ayy, 2000 EST
Yeah, O-C-O-E-E
Yeah, ayy
I'm the definition of a free man, woken
Now, I'm movin' cautious, 'cause I know it cost me a lot, uh
Lost it all, it made me feel nautious
I guess, that's the price that you pay when you get out that bondage
My soul was tied, like a knot up on a shoelace
Lied too many times, I had forgotten how the truth tastes
Life like a fiasco, was movin' just like Lupe
My heart was in a cast but my mind was on that D'usse
Finessin' clothes, just to wear it for the school day
We were takin' kicks, just to ball, like it's 2K
Was hittin' licks, so they could tell us we was cool Jay
For their approval, I was doin' what a fool would say
Wanted my neck and wrist on water, like a pool day
I wanted Penny Proud to see me in them cool greys
Got out of school, no one around, not even two names
Can't name a soul that stuck around
Lord, thank You for this healin', 'cause You brought me out
I was tryna be the trendin' topic, to be talked about
I was tryna be the main attraction, 'til You talked me down
Now, I live to give the glory to the One who walked it out
I'm the definition of a free man, mortgage
'Cause, G-O-D went and gave me the keys, no organ
Had to dive deep in the well, no Tauren
I was locked up, 'til he crossed like Jordan
I'm the definition of a free man, mortgage
'Cause, G-O-D went and gave me the keys, no organ
Had to dive deep in the well, no Tauren
I was locked up, 'til he crossed like Jordan
I'm the definition of a free man, talkin'
Watch my words often, I know it cost me a lot, yeah
Words lead the life or the coffin
I guess, that's the price that you pay when you gain more knowledge
Study the Word like a test comin' up in college
You ever heard common sense ain't common?
You could turn a verb to a bullet or a promise
Speak life, speak death, you only got two options
Everythin' you say, comes around, goes around
That's why I never play with a verb or a noun
Power in the Name, so I gotta say it loud
Chains breakin' when I speak, you can never keep me bound
Thank You for this healin', 'cause You brought me out
I was tryna be the trendin' topic, to be talked about
I was tryna be the main attraction, 'til You talked me down
Now, I live to give the glory to the One who walked it out
I'm the definition of a free man, mortgage
'Cause, G-O-D went and gave me the keys, no organ
Had to dive deep in the well, no Tauren
I was locked up, 'til he crossed like Jordan
I'm the definition of a free man, mortgage
'Cause, G-O-D went and gave me the keys, no organ
Had to dive deep in the well, no Tauren
I was locked up, 'til he crossed like Jordan
