Kongos Speak Free Lyrics

[Refrain]
Speak free, speak free
Be free, be free
But only if it's good what you're making me feel
Only if it's good what you're making me feel

[Verse 1]
No I don't know what you been told
You can keep your paper, I'll take gold
Your sleight of hand is pretty slick
But I know you know it's nothing but a magic trick

[Verse 2]
Your lips tell a very good story
But your eyes tell it differently
That's a big flame you got there cooking those books
Careful now, before the people know they been took

[Refrain]
Speak free, speak free
Only if it's good what you're saying to me
Be free, be free
But only if it's good what you're making me feel Only if it's good what you're making me feel

[Post-Chorus]
If I could see the way it is
Then I would be, be more than this
[Verse 3]
Now I know I know it's a little taboo
And I'm likely to step on a toe or two
We're about a minute too late to recognize
That the sound that our mouth makes has been weaponized

[Refrain]
Speak free, speak free
Only if it's good what you're saying to me
Be free, be free
But only if it's good what you're making me feel
Only if it's good what you're making me feel

[Post-Chorus]
If I could see the way it is
Then I would be, be more than this
