[Chorus: Block McCloud]

(Freedom) This is my only escape but I make

And I know y’all can relate

(Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze

And all of these problems I face

(Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my fallout

The only thing I can believe in

(Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live

And this is the path to my freedom

[Verse 1: Sicknature]

Before the Snowgoons squad was build

Before better luck was revealed

Before getting props in the field from my productions with Bill

Before I tore off with some promotors, performances and posters

Before touring with La Coka

Before the various travels

Before my work with paz and the Pharaohs

I only had frustrations that I didn’t manage to channel

A rascal who looked for ways to escape from the lunacy

With great opportunity but impatiently usually

Too young and troubled, an obvious menace

I invited problems though I had to f**k off grimace

Society’s expectations left more room for insanity

Life was never met with horseshoes or rabbit feet

Then my brother bumped a tape with Run-DMC

My thoughts regained speed, my tongue became free

Bought a Public Enemy record and instantly wrote a rap

Felt it would take a whole nation of millions to hold me back

[Chorus: Block McCloud]

(Freedom) This is my only escape but I make

And I know y’all can relate

(Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze

And all of these problems I face

(Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my fallout

The only thing I can believe in

(Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live

And this is the path to my freedom

[Verse 2: Snak the Ripper]

I used to put my headphones on and image a life

Better than the one that I had 'cause I was having to fight

Constantly within the darkness tryna stand in the light

But all that shit just disappeared when I got handed the mic

I used to sit in my room and play my guitar

Making mixtapes on cassette, who knew I’d make it this far

Listening to everything from Nas to Slayer and [?]

I was like every other kid but now they say I’m a star

I used to run around the town painting my name

Looking for some recognition and the taste of the fame

Just a poor kid numb, my face in the rain

They gave me shelter from the pain that runs through my veins

I used to second guess the work that I would create

Feel like the world is on my shoulders and I carry the weight

And now I do it for the fans 'cause they say they relate

Music is my therapy, this is my way to escape, yeah

[Chorus: Block McCloud]

(Freedom) This is my only escape but I make

And I know y’all can relate

(Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze

And all of these problems I face

(Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my fallout

The only thing I can believe in

(Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live

And this is the path to my freedom

[Chorus: Block McCloud]

(Freedom) This is my only escape but I make

And I know y’all can relate

(Freedom) This is my only way out of this maze

And all of these problems I face

(Freedom) This is my fate, my love, and my fallout

The only thing I can believe in

(Freedom) This music is all I have to give to live

And this is the path to my freedom
