verse 1: Beyoncé
Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder, tell the storm I'm new
I'm a wall, come and march on the regular, painting white flags blue
Lord forgive me, I've been running, running blind in truth
I'ma rain, I'ma rain on this bitter love, tell the sweet I'm new
Pre-Chorus 1: Beyoncé
Ooh-ooh, I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away", oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
May the last one burn into flames
Freedom, freedom, I can't move, freedom, cut me loose
Freedom, freedom, where are you, cause I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself, won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I'ma keep running, cause a winner don't quit on themselves
verse 2: Beyoncé
I'ma wade, I'ma wave through the waters, tell the tide, "Don't move"
I'ma riot, I'ma riot through your borders, call me bulletproof
Lord forgive me, I've been running, running blind in truth
I'ma wade, I'ma wave through your shallow love, tell the deep I'm new
Pre-Chorus 2: Beyoncé
Ooh-ooh, I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away", oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
May the last one burn into flames
Freedom, freedom, I can't move, freedom, cut me loose
Freedom, freedom, where are you, cause I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself, won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I'ma keep running, cause a winner don't quit on themselves
verse 3: Kendrick Lamar
Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practice
Channel 9 news tell me I'm movin' backwards
Eight blocks left, death is around the corner
Seven misleadin' statements 'bout my persona
Six headlights wavin' in my direction
Five-O askin' me what's in my possession
Yeah I keep runnin', jump in the aqueducts
Fire hydrants and hazardous, smoke alarms on the back of us
But mama don't cry for me, ride for me, try for me, live for me
Breathe for me, sing for me, honestly guidin' me, I could be more than I gotta be
Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy
Code on me, drive on me, wicked, my spirit inspired me
Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert
Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression
Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs
And when they carve my name inside the concrete, I pray it forever reads
Freedom, freedom, I can't move, freedom, cut me loose
Freedom, freedom, where are you, cause I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself, won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I'ma keep running, cause a winner don't quit on themselves
