Lyrics
I Want My Independence Ooh yah, yah As a black man I'm going to say yeah, how I feel. Woah, yah yah (Don't hold me down) I'm going to cut through the bull cramp. Oh, baby, I'm going. I am going to tell you how I feel. As it is as a black man In 2021, 2022 & 2023 yah, yah As I sit here and sing this song to you Woah, Woah Bombs are bursting in the air. over my head, in the background of me (Don't hold me down) (Based on my credit) I stand here, decades away from 1776 (Based on my color) Woah, Woah (Based on my past) From a future, I have no idea (Racism) You got your independence. Now, I want my independence too. For the future, I have no idea (Racism) Just like you, you You need to stop this. systematic racism hold us back, holding us down Woah, Woah You got your independence Now, I want my independence too For the future, I have no idea (Racism) Just like you, you Ain't nobody hurting you You're hurting, you're hurting, you're hurting yourself. (With this) systematic racism As our Black dollars As our Brown dollars Are strong, strong Woah Woah, As our White dollars are strong when they're backing us too Woah Woah, Don't you, don't you hold me down As a Black man What I'm trying to say What I'm trying to say There are only a few of you. Don't want us live our life yeah, yeah, You know who you are, are They're trying to hold us back. Trying to hold us down. with this systematic racism yeah (for the color of our skin) (Gerry-Gerrymandering) Woah, Let me just break it down one more time (for you) If you didn't understand the first verse Let me speak it right now. If you don't have an education Don't be lazy in your mind (Please) You know what is right You know what is right. Woah Woah (Racism) You got your independence. You, you Now, I want my independence too. Just like you, you Woah, Woah
