Freedom
[intro: Zack de la Rocha & Gil Scott-Heron]

Killing in the name of
Kill, killing in the name of

You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials, because
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will be live

[verse 1: Zack de la Rocha & Beyoncé]

Uh!
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
Come on!

Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder
Tell the storm I'm new
I'ma walk, I'ma march on the regular
Painting white flags blue
Lord, forgive me, I've been running
Running blind in truth
I'ma rain, I'ma rain on this bitter love
Tell the sweet I'm new
[Chorus 1: Pharrell Williams & Beyoncé]

Freedom
Breathe in
Freedom
Breathe in
Hold on to me
Don't let me go
Who cares what they see?
Who cares what they know?
Your first name is Free
Last name is Dom
Cause you still believe
In where we’re from

Freedom! Freedom! I can't move
Freedom, cut me loose! Yeah
Freedom! Freedom! Where are you?
'Cause I need freedom, too!
I break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey! I'ma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves

[verse 2: Zack de la Rocha]
Uh!
Killing in the name of
Kill, killing in the name of

Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses!

[Chorus 2: Pharrell Williams, Beyoncé, & Zack de la Rocha]

Freedom
Breathe in
Freedom
Breathe in
Hold on to me
Don't let me go
The cheetahs need to eat
Run, antelope
Your first name is King
Last name is Dom
Cause you still believe
In everyone
Freedom! Freedom! I can't move
Freedom, cut me loose! Yeah
Freedom! Freedom! Where are you?
'Cause I need freedom, too!
I break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey! I'ma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves

Come on!

Yeah!
Hey! I'ma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves

[verse 3: Pharell Williams & Zack de la Rocha]

Uh!
Atoms in the air
Organisms in the sea
The sun and yes, man
Are made of the same things
Freedom!
Come on!
Freedom!
Come on!
Freedom!
Come on!
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
