youtu.be/ldhlMszmdp0Free Yourself Free is the slave Who is released From the imprisonment Of his captor Therefore, we are not free For the minds of some Are still enslaved By their possessors To reincarnate Ancient oppressors With them came Memorabilia of yesterday Chains, whips, ropes and hatred Disguised as gangs, drugs, Inferior Education and shady Politics of today They are designed to disarm The freedom fighters Within this never-ending war They are designed to cure The ailments of afflictions Which are forced upon us To mold us into A docile and divided people We’ve taken those chains To incarcerate our minds Within a conditioned Way of life We’ve taken those whips To cut up And Tear down Our own people We’ve taken those ropes To weave a tainted Mentality into our culture As ours slowly dies We’ve taken the hatred Of our tormentors Into our souls And have misdirected It upon our reflections No need for Master For we have Already been crowned We are of a rich And powerful heritage Which endured hatred’s love In order for us To be free So why have we married The suitor of plantations Only to become impregnated With perpetuation’s heir? Let’s remove all chains Let’s remove all whips Let’s remove all ropes Let’s remove all hatred And Free Ourselves ©Daboetry
