( Daddy-O )
If I gotta die to be free
Then I guess it gotta be
Cause I never been a s**er, see?
I can't stand for a man tryin to hold me down
Then again I've never been a clown
Countdown (Freedom or d**h)
'88, and everything ain't well (Freedom or d**h)
Prepare for a war and war is hell (Freedom or d**h)
And if you think about coppin a plea (Freedom or d**h)
Don't even waste your breath (Freedom or d**h)
Cause this time it's freedom or d**h (Freedom or d**h)
Conceptually to be free means
To do what I please, but please
Cause even overseas in my native country
I still get robbed and raped in the face
For gold and all (Freedom or d**h)
My people are poor (Freedom or d**h)
For the sake of a thrill (Freedom or d**h)
My people get k**ed (Freedom or d**h)
And we'll be k**ed till there's nobody left (Freedom or d**h)
Unless we understand it's freedom or d**h (Freedom or d**h)
It only takes one side to declare war
And if the other side ignores
They get mapped, or should I say off the map
Like a stain's washed out in a laundromat
Wartime, brother, wartime, sister (Freedom or d**h)
We can't wait because they won't wait (Freedom or d**h)
And we've been through so much sh** to date (Freedom or d**h)
That we're losin this war and I hate (Freedom or d**h)
To say that, but it's true, so I say to you
You better learn to defend yourself
Right hand and left
In the east and west
Time for war, freedom or d**h
If I gotta die to be free
Then I guess it gotta be
Cause I never been a s**er, see?
I can't stand for a man tryin to hold me down
Then again, I've never been a clown
Countdown (Freedom or d**h)
'88, and everything ain't well (Freedom or d**h)
Prepare for a war and war is hell (Freedom or d**h)
And if you think about coppin a plea (Freedom or d**h)
Don't even waste your breath (Freedom or d**h)
Cause this time it's freedom or d**h (Freedom or d**h)
