Bada$$, Joey - Land Of The Free Lyrics






Yeah
You know sometimes I think they don't truly understand me, You know cause they don't

Can't change the world unless we change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
Three K's, Two A's in Amerikkka
I'm just a black spade spawn out the nebula
And everything I do is and say today is worthwhile
Went for showing and inspire action in your first child

I'll begin my verse now
Sometimes I speak and I feel like it ain't my words
Like I'm just a vessel channeling inside of this universe
I feel my ancestors arrested inside of me
It's like they want me to shoot my chance and change society
But how do I go about it? Tell me where I start?
My destiny rerouted when I chose to follow heart
You told to follow suit, but tell me what it do for you?
Except weigh you down, now you trapped inside the cubicle they built for us
The first step in the change is to take notice
Realize the real games that they tried to show us
300 plus years of them cold shoulders
Yet 300 million of us still got no focus
Sorry America, but I will not be your soldier
Obama just wasn't enough, I just need some more closure
And Donald Trump is not equipped to take this country over
Let's face facts cause what's the real motives

In the land of the free, it's for the free loaders
Leave us dead in the street then be your organ donors
They disorganized my people, made us all loners
Still got the last names of our slave owners
In the land of the free, it's for the free loaders
Leave us dead in the street then be your organ donors
They disorganized my people, made us all loners
Still got the last name of our slave owners

Can't change the world unless we change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
Three K's, Two A's in Amerikkka
I'm just a black spade spawn out the nebula
And everything I do is and say today is worthwhile
Went for showing and inspire action in your first child

Trickery in the system, put my niggas in prison
All of our history hidden, ain't no liberty given
We all fit the description of what the documents written
We been lacking the vision and barely making a living
We too worried to fit in while they been benefitin'
Every time you submittin', we all guilty admit it
The lord won't get you acquitted, but you still askin' for forgiveness
Put opiates in syringes then inject his religion
How many times do I gotta tell you I'm a man on a mission
Many times I gotta tell you I don't need no permission
Or human supervision, ain't no livin' condition
I'm reaching out to my children, just hoping that they will listen
Start a new coalition against corrupt politicians
Its not enough pots to piss in, too many murder convictions
Another family evicted, another black man a victim
That's as real as it's getting, you should take recognition

In the land of the free, it's for the free loaders
Leave us dead in the street then be your organ donors
They disorganized my people, made us all loners
Still got the last name of our slave owners
In the land of the free, it's for the free loaders
Leave us dead in the street then be your organ donors
They disorganized my people, made us all loners
Still got the last name of our slave owners

Can't change the world unless we change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
Three K's, Two A's in Amerikkka
I'm just a black spade spawn out the nebula
And everything I do is and say today is worthwhile
Went for showing and inspire action in your first child

    I love this, but the beat and the lyrics are so far apart. The beat is happy and welcoming, the lyrics explain themselves.

    C.... (....

    It forces you to listen to the true meaning of the lyrics.

    Thank you Joey

  24. K.... R....

    "We can't change the world, unless we change ourselves" couldn't be more true.

  25. d.... ....

    Deep and inspiring song

  26. C.... W....

    Spread the message, love is the only law. We must break the chains of mental and governmental slavery. Keep your heads high and love eachother like family. I love anyone reading this

  27. D.... G....

    2020 💪

  28. R.... U....

    I didn't feel like a modern slave here, also we are already free, its just we make our lives worst by our poor decisions

    R.... U....

    No. Have you researched on "projects"? do you know the history behind the suburbs? The general population of African Americans were forced into poverty following the end of the civil war. Sure we were free from individual ownership but we were still slaves to the system deliberately set by Caucasian Americans. However slowly but surely we are escaping that trap and ascending.

    R.... U....

    @BILL REX nope, still doesn't feel like a slave, we are treated the same by the system, people have a lot of problems lately even with police but still we are not modern slaves. If we are then why we are not treated like back then?

    R.... U....

    @RedWarrior600 UTTP AVGCP it's not literal slavery. Its slavery as in being stuck in projects and raised in a place where it is way more likely to end up dead or in prison.

  29. L.... ....

    This is real hip hop salute! Respect peace love and abundance. Eye feel you! Ashe

  30. A.... f....

    Africa is great

    All the racist fucks dislike smh

  36. I.... G....

    He is so beautiful I feel his essance wow..damn I want😍😘😋😁😊🌎🌍🏝️🌄☀️☀️☀️

  37. A.... K....

    Gatekeeper of flow 💯

  38. M.... Y....

    dis is great shit

  39. G.... S....

    I used to think rap was like trap, just empty words...



    Thank you for showing me how completely wrong I was

  40. h.... ....

    deep and meaningful unlike many others

  41. M.... M....

    Came here from ATEEZ Mingi :)

  42. a.... ....

    This is real talk. Childish gambino can take notes.

  43. N.... ....

    Noticed that Joey didnt let the american flag touch the ground when he "died" with it. Small detail I think might A) just be not to piss people off. B) To show respect for the "land of opportunity" for what it SHOULD be. A land of constant change. Thats whats so great about humans, we just never stop changing. Hopefully always for the better :D

    N.... ....

    NagsterTheGangster that’s the thing you got from the whole music video instead of the meaning behind the actual lyrics?

    N.... ....

    @Y Dub I wasn't saying it was the only thing I got from the song :p I just figured it was an observation one might not technically think of without watching a bunch of times. Awesome song, worth the rewatches

  44. L.... H....

    dax has that tupac energy but joey has tupac's whole being

  45. L.... ....

    OK I'm glad I clicked. Like damn I was skeptical this is soo good

  46. J.... K....

    It would have been nice at the end to see little white and black and all races playing and laughing together. It’s a great song and sheds so much light I love it so much, not all white people are rascist. I understand the meaning behind this. It’s history. It’s beautiful. I can’t wait hopefully in my lifetime for there to be no races anymore. It separates people. We are all one.

    J.... K....

    Jessica Krohn

    we actually aren’t the same they rewrote history and we most definitely aren’t the same y’all can’t be in the sun without sun screen also black people are physically stronger than anyone y’all from another planet most definitely

    J.... K....

    Jessica Krohn

    weapons is what caused bad history

    J.... K....

    there will always be differences in people. but it shouldn't be a reason to be racist

  47. k.... ....

    He predicted WWIII a decade ago. Damn.

  48. Y.... M....

    SORRY AMERIKKKA BUT I WILL NOT BE YOUR SOLDIER!! 2020 And still hits HARD!!

  49. M.... L....

    I can't get over this song

    01 January 2020 🙏🙏🙌

  51. U.... C....

    If I had the opportunity to listen to the last song in my life, it would be this one...

  52. J.... T....

    He’s so handsome. & his flow is different from a lot of fake rappers now a days also his message. Rappers now are trash

  53. Q.... T....

    I cried.......

  54. J.... W....

    Happy New Years people 🔥❤️ 2020,Jan 1

  55. b.... h....

    We need more songs like this. I’m tired of hearing how many bitches and drugs rappers do. I want more politically conscious rap

  56. k.... ....

    Or....it’s simply history? The Spanish conquered the Philippines. Many Filipinos have Spanish last names. You don’t see them complaining.

  57. Y.... ....

    Still here💪

  58. I.... ....

  59. a.... I....

    I'm white and I wish I could have black friends I would if I could find a black person who is 11yr old (my age) but I've never found one also wen I grow up I want to be a song writer and at least one of my songs would be on the topic of all raseis of people being equal and put my life twards things like that thare was really no reason why I rote this comint but still I did so.. ye bye have a good day and a holesome day

    a.... I....

  72. h.... ....

    god bless the old good r.a.p

  73. b.... t....

    i chose to write an english paper on this song, lots of evidence!

  74. A.... ....

    "Trickery in the system, put my niggas in prison
    All our history hidden, ain't no liberty given
    We all fit the description of what the documents written
    We been lacking the vision and barely making a living
    We too worried to fit in while they been benefitin'
    Every time you submittin', we all guilty admit it
    The Lord won't get you acquitted, but you still ask for forgiveness
    Put opiates in syringes then inject his religion
    How many times do I gotta tell you I'm a man on a mission
    Many times I gotta tell you I don't need no permission
    A human with super vision, ain't no livin' condition
    I'm reaching out to my children, just hoping that they will listen
    Start a new coalition against corrupt politicians
    It's not enough pots to piss in, too many murder convictions
    Another family evicted, another black man a victim
    That's as real as it's getting, you should take recognition"

  75. 1.... h....

    Does anyone know where this was filmed

  76. S.... ....

    even tho im an indian i feel his pain.... the lyrics are just so beautiful funny how songs like this never get much recognition...... BEAUTIFUL POETRY

  77. V.... I....

    USA is not a country, it's a corporation...

  78. B.... O....

    I don’t know why but this song just came in my head and I had to listen to it again

  79. L.... O....

    This is my favorite song of all time

  80. P.... P....

    *I B E F L O S S I N'*

  81. B.... ....

    This deserves much more attention

  82. B.... ....

    Three K’s Two A’s in AmeriKKKa

  83. y.... l....

    Honestly this is underrated I think this could be more than it is

  84. m.... b....

    This jams way better then chance the rappers. Talks about more shit and has a better vibe. Idk why I haven't heard this song yet. 💯👌🔥

  85. A.... S....

    This will forever vibe
    #2019

  86. K.... D....

    This is so fire 🔥

  87. E.... M....

    Fuck the governments. Together we are strong enough to take all the corruption down but they keep bombarding us with what we have to think, separating the big masses into smaller groups of people that hate each other for dumb reasons (such as racial discrimination, personal tastes such as music and art in general, sports teams, video game consoles, political parties and so on). We should stop believing what we hear and see on the tv and radio. We should be mentally free

  88. g.... T....

    This joey bada$$ just told the truth respect but all lives matter every race r supposed to helpbeach other but racism happen n killin y can we all be together as one

  89. O.... J....

    Powerful message to our people people my brother love and peace

  90. T.... M....

    " 3 K's 2 A in a AmeriKKKA."

    2020 Joey's Year

  92. J.... B....

    This album has made him one of my favorite rappers of all time!

  93. J.... B....

    This song is the truth.

  94. B.... S....

    2017 and a black man still act like he himself felt in slavery! but i get it .. his extraordinary emotions forces him live though the pain he never felt over and over again!
    every race was at once point slaves! ever wonderes where the name slave even comes from? i mean you use it so frequently .. you should know his origins! but handle with care .. it could hurt oyur feelings!

    B.... S....

    Betrogene Seelen blacks never enslaved whites as a nation. Whites enslaved us for 400 years. Get out of here with that, Gods coming to judge the world for what they have done to his people.

    B.... S....

    @Silas Brown whites did enslave whites, just like how blacks enslaved blacks.
