Free spelled F R double E
Emancipated, segregated, shot and then investigated
What does it mean to be free?
Slave to jobs that repalce us in a week
To fears that make courage blind
To anxieties that make me leave success behind
To pleasures of the flesh tender yet bittersweet
And yet as a black man I still feel FREE
FREEDOM is a mindset not just a physical state
People who don't come from a history of bondage can never relate
Free the mind and the rest follows that's the God inside
Because Hell on Earth is the biggest lie
Life should be heaven you shouldn't have to die to get it
FREEDOM, Hell and Heaven coexist
But FREEDOM doesn't protect from the bad in life
Some days my body doesn't feel like a vessel
But a hollowed shell exiting heaven and manifesting hell
FREEDOM allows me the choices that really matter and we should all consider
FREEDOM is the power to destroy or build
FREEDOM is the power to love or kill
Free spelled FR double E
A place in my mind, Earth, and heaven
That is where you'll find me

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
