Ziggy Marley Free Like We Want 2 B Lyrics

Free like we want 2 B

Sometimes you want to get off
(Free, free)
Leave the work and take off
But the boss man say, you're gonna lose your pay
[Incomprehensible]

No chain on your feet now
Nine to five got your beat now
You're working hard to save
Inflation like a tidal wave

Are we free like we want 2 B?
(Are we free?)
Tell me are we free like we want 2 B
(Are we free?)
Are we free like we want 2 B, now
(Free like they wanna be)
Tell me are we free like we want 2 B
(Free like we want 2 B)

Racist get defeat
Black Man vote and take your seat
Now them think we gonna quiet
Maybe we start a riot

What happen to the diamond they stole
The innocent blood run cold
Do we still have to live in poverty
Now they say we're free to be poor

But are we free like we want 2 B?
(Are we free?)
Black Man, are we free like we want 2 B, now?
(Are we free like we wanna be?)
Tell me, are we free like want 2 B
(Free)
Are you free, are you free?

Kept in emotion will cause an explosion
Let your love go, let me know
Some people expect that's not what them get
Become no slave of them evil and wicked ways
Are we free like we want 2 B?
(Are we free?)
Are we free like we want 2 B?
(Are we free?)
Are you free like you want 2 B? You need the power
(Free like we wanna be)
Are we free like we want 2 B now? Wait I was getting it

Can't walk the streets late at night
Without fear of parasite
Everyone has a inborn right
A inborn right to life

Who gave us the reason to fight
By promoting negative vibes
Who taught us of drugs and crime
Now they say, we're free to homicide
Committing genocide
We freely homicide, committing genocide

Man, are we free like we want 2 B?
(Are we free?)
Black Man, are we free like we want 2 B, now?
(Like we wanna be)
Tell me are we free like we wanna, wanna be, yeah
(Free like we wanna be)
Are you free like you want 2 B, now?
(Free like we want 2 B)

We want to be free, free like we want 2 B
We want to be free, free like we want 2 B
We want to be free, free like we want 2 B
We want to be free, free like we want 2 B

We want to be free, free like we want 2 B
We want to be free, free like we want 2 B
We want to be free, free like we want 2 B
We want to be free, free like we want 2 B
