Renea, Priscilla - Land Of The Free Lyrics






Little Jimmy grabbed his toys
And went outside to play
How was he supposed to know
That he might die today

The officer, he told the judge
"Jimmy had a gun"
Now another mother
Will be burying a son

If you don't believe it's true
I guess I wrote this song for you
You'd think I'd say these words because I hate America?

No
That's just life for me
Living while black in the land of the free
Yeah what it's like to be
Living while black in the land of the free
And I'm not gonna be quiet
Make a little noise and they call it a riot
Ain't no sympathy
Living while black in the land of the free

There's enough to go around
For everyone to share
But a check from Uncle Sam
What would that repair?

All the broken families
Fathers in a cell…
Slavery's abolished but it's
Still alive and well

If you don't believe it's true
I guess I wrote this song for you
You'd think I'd say these words because I hate America?

No
That's just life for me
Living while black in the land of the free
Yeah what it's like to be
Living while black in the land of the free
And I'm not gonna be quiet
Make a little noise and they said its a riot
Ain't no sympathy
Living while black in the land of the free

No
That's just life for me
Living while black in the land of the free
Yeah what it's like to be
Living while black in the land of the free
And I'm not gonna be quiet
Make a little noise and they call it a riot
Ain't no sympathy
Living while black in the land of the free

That's just life for me
Living while black in the land of the free
Yeah what it's like to be
Living while black in the land of the free
And I'm not gonna be quiet
Make a little noise and they call it a riot
Ain't no sympathy
Living while black in the land of the free

    Heard you on NPR yesterday. Hope you don't mind that I share your talent with my US History classes.

    Wowwww. Beautiful message and the guitar solo was one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

  5. S.... W....

    I love how narrative this song is. So much country music is narrative and I definitely see that at play here. It's such a powerful thing and will hopefully help the people who you wrote the song for understand what you are saying and see the truth. Good for you for standing up. And a truly beautiful song 💜

    Here from the NPR article. Keep speaking truth to power. People need to hear the message. ❤

    Phenomenal

    Hello. I 'm a new fan after the NPR interview. Country music is yours to make it what you will as a music artist. As I'm sure you already know, artist are their own worst critics so Ignore the noise of the outside critics, they don't buy anything anyhow. Your satisfaction will come from within... and Sales.

    Did the guitar player channel the spirit of Jimmy Hendricks on the guitar solo? Now more than ever we need music like this!
