lyrics

i'm a freak of the industry
frequently on my own frequency
freaking beats to find freedom and release
freestyles on this life i breathe
everyday's a big cipher to me
writing raps like Frida painted
pain into medicine
we freeze the moment and edit it
fire in penmanship
feel it all, don't run from
energy it comes from
native tongues
stolen drums
culture
made of where i'm from
celebrated by everyone
but just in small pieces
these are the freedom calls
heard from African villages
far from the continent
they call it Hip Hop?
it's a house
on a house
and that house got robbed
we are volcanic rock carved
Lalibela
temples in our own right
bees recognize it
your life is priceless
they gon try to buy it
deny it
and cause violence
i'm freestyling til we feel freedom from fear
from a frequency that you could barely hear in your ear
it's genetic code
my grandma's mom engineered
and these are moments that we should all hold dear
i'm a spirit in a shell
and i don't know who steers
a freak and a follower of funk and of soul
of punk and of folk
and genres unknown
just destined to flow
the only time i feel freedom tho
is freeing these songs
free in these songs
i'm a freak of the industry
frequently on my own frequency
freaking beats to find freedom and release
freestyles on this life i breathe
everyday's a big cipher to me
