Freedom Lyrics: Chorus: Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Ras Kass Verse 1: Free Leonard, Free Leonard, Free Leonard Yo! Oglala, Lakota, Mass Murder In South Dakota White militia at Pine Ridge Rez 61 Native Americans dead Nobody cared about the people protesting Another broken deal, another broken treaty, another land steal So, energy companies keep their hands filled Rape resources, chanting “drill baby drill” Crack for resources, they kill baby kill Who’s the hero when the villains the Navy Seal? Took a man to take a stand, and take A.I.M., American Indian movement Defending his rights in ‘75, citizens shot it out with the FBI Two officers died; prosecution lied Sentenced to life even Barack Obama denied Appeals for Clemency, beaten in prison and mistreated Parole hearing in July 2024, he’ll be 79 Stand with the innocent man, rally, and cry Say Free Leonard! (Free Leonard!) Can’t Unite when all this hating divide, Religious symbols spelling co-exist When you see a brother, let me see you pump your fist and scream: Chorus: Freedom! Free-dom! Freedom! Free-dom! DJ Free Leonard Verse 2: Damn!!! Ras Kass that’s one hell of a summation As I observe some Ravens it occurs to me How my Mom was born on the reservation Originally a place of incarceration Not a palace or a tourist destination At the intersection of Personal memories and social history Distracted by a pop culture mentality Attractive actresses or current events But I need rapid ways to curate rent They said to me “your cause is outrageous” Fortunately fighting for unjust laws is contagious Some try for extortion and freeloading While the Real want exoneration So, Leonard Free (break) While racism still is the reason Leonard in prison Don’t be prejudiced, be quick to test a fundamentalist No matter how it sounds The truth is always profound These days it's assimilation via a simulation Sure to give you stimulation And elimination of your traditionally metaphysical thoughts Cause remember, Leonard came through for the poor and oppressed To address the civil unrest Most would never guess Even the prosecutor of his trial Asked for Pardon him from jail Don’t overlook with subjectiveness When the system is the real symptom The real symptom is the system Chorus: Freedom! Free-dom! Freedom! Free-dom! Repeats x3 as it slowly fades out
