Freedom

Ashanti - Freedom
[00:10.69]so Im gone close my eyes
[00:13.73]and Im gone live my life
[00:16.61]despite what you think Ima be free cause Ima be me .
See I aint never think I would have a situation
where the people around me just envy I must replace them
see I always thought the people that watch me grow
would want to see me blow fasho but little did I know
they aint never really wanna see me smiling.
they couldnt take the fact that I was really shining
and in my heart I knew they was wishing I was stop
cause they dont me to rise and be on top.
and all that jealousy and hate
can be right in front of your face
and its gone hurt for you to see
but it aint your fault just let it be
[01:13.02]so Im gone close my eyes
[01:16.22]and Im gone live my life
[01:19.25]despite what you think Ima be free cause Ima be me .
See everybody wanna have something to talk about
so they pointing their fingers and always running their mouths.
no matter how you try to satisfy someone else
giving so much of yourself yo love but its never enough.
the more you give them the more want they ain't happy
and they dont see all you do to make em happy
they dont appreciate it till you walk away
but you dont want to hear by now its too late.
and all that jealousy and hate
can be right in front of your face
and its gone hurt for you to see
but it aint your fault just let it be.
[02:15.57]so Im gone close my eyes
[02:18.80]and Im gone live my life
[02:21.76]despite what you think Ima be free cause Ima be me.
What they dont understand is
that Ima keep livin my life and surviving
Ima keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding
cause aint no time to be crying
I been providing with the strength to carry my way
and Ima be ok cause I'm gone live my life my way
and u can say what u wanna say it wont affect the way
Im living Im winning by being free again
[03:05.60]so Im gone close my eyes
[03:08.85]and Im gone live my life
[03:11.88]despite what you think Ima be free cause Ima be me.
