Freedom Lyrics
I used to think Freedom was light skinned
Better yet, white
I used to think Freedom had blue eyes
That would look up to the night sky and smile
Can't tell what the colour is as those eyes are colour blind
I used to think Freedom was hair i could pull my fingers through so effortlessly
Without extending my dueces to my roots
Shame
I thought Freedom was a body light enough to walk in so i didn't have to explain
In other words, i thought the Freedom available was to be numb
To feel no pain, not necessarily the absence of pain
The pain of a police baton
The pain of another one gone
The pain of another job i never got
https://www.elyricsworld.com/freedom_lyrics_muyiwa.html
The pain of another man that couldn't and wouldn't love me
Freedom isn't just equality
Don't give a man of height and a man of ground the same stool
Because although you have given equally
One will still not be tall enough to see what Freedom looks like
Dear Music
Freedom must sound like you.
