[Chorus]

There ain't nothin' like this freedom, how can I explain?

I feel so free, I'm gonna fly, I mean buy a plane

I'm free for you to need me, I'm comin' right away

It could be night or day, I'll always find the time to play


[Verse 1]

Free to get signed, shit, I mean start a label

Thirty-six floors up, white ash on my table

Now I'm free to make a living, God knows I'm grateful

And I'm due to make a killing, God knows I'm able

Right now, I'm just maintaining and I'm semi-stable

But I'm free to take you spa, let you get a facial

They ain't gotta ask, they know I'm with the play ball

'Cah just the other day I was ticking eight balls

I put that white girl on a break like Ross and Rachel

Now I'm free to separate, free to elevate

Get a pеppered steak

I'm my own boss, I ain't еver late

I made it out the hood, I ain't ever safe

Or second place

Free to reconcile

I'm free to reconcile if you go the extra mile

And now you call me, I wonder who you used to dial

I'm taking care of shit, I wish my nan could see me now

I'm free to drop the top and blow it straight up to the clouds

If I G check him, I don't think it's gonna bounce

'Cause I'm free to make sure they're going straight to his crib

I'm free to come home and go straight to my fridge

And my neighbours are cool, they don't bait where I live

I really came from nothing, course they hate how I live

'Cause I'm free from that Hell, but I came from the pit

I'd really trade it all now to feel your face on my lips


[Chorus]

There ain't nothin' like this freedom, how can I explain?

'Cause I don't even think you get me, let me try again

I'm on the A13, playing Purple Rain

And I'm free to make sure you never hurt again


[Verse 2]

Ain't no more, "Say hello to mum for me"

She lives comfortably, used to hold guns for me

I'm free from self doubt, who'd you help out?

I run these companies and still keep you company

I'm free to talk less, free to do more

My sisters wanna shop, I send 'em New York

They always used to tell me, "All in due course"

Now I'm free to play Nipsey in this blue Porsche

They take you for granted when you're clean hearted

But never be disheartened, finish how you started

Free to be creative, free to be an artist

Let's be equal partners, onto greener pastures

Let me clean my glasses, let me see the farthest

Tell 'em raise the invoice and I need it sharpish

You want all the answers, you want all the chances

All the pain I harness holding me up like a harness

There ain't nothin' like this freedom, how can I explain?

I told Muni in that cell, "Can we try escape?"

Free to not be a number, call me by my name

Now I'm free to run the game 'cah they ain't what they claim

Free champagne, I don't ever drink

But free to make memories, let's not reminisce

I'm too hit, I never miss

Still tryna make up for the deficit

So if I doubt you, I ain't giving you no benefits

There ain't nothin' like this freedom, every day's like an achievement

I know I give you gems, but I would never tell your secrets

I ain't got friends, I got family that's immediate

I just want everyone around me to be decent

Driven and ambitious and appreciating freedom

We're eating Pan-Asian and we're driving European

Free to put my trap phone in the museum

I felt like a gladiator in the Colosseum


[Chorus]

There ain't nothin' like this freedom, how can I explain?

I feel so free, I'm gonna fly, I mean buy a plane

I'm free for you to need me, I'm coming right away

It could be night or day, I'll always find the time to play

I'm free to separate, free to elevate

Free to reconcile, go the extra mile

I'm on the A13, playing Purple Rain

And I'm free to make sure you never hurt again
