Description
Sorry for not being around as of late, but between work and this music project I have had little time to make it here. This is a song I have had for sometime and decided to post here since I haven't brought anything to the table in a while. With the political atmosphere the way it is I wanted to revisit a song that was in part inspired by the 2004 election year. I re-recorded the vocals here and remade the beat. The original Freedom can be found here
and there are many remixes done by the talented individuals here on MJs.
Along with new cuts and beats I added a segment of Senator Obama's speech given at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. This more than anything I believe placed him in the national spotlight and helped encourage him to do the things he is doing now.
Enjoy.

Lyrics
Freedom; for all the righteous trapped in the pin
Freedom; for those who know the struggle wont end
Freedom; to see mistakes and try to correct
Freedom; to take up arms and try to protect
Life and liberty, Im in pursuit of it
Doing it
And guard against those who try to ruin it
Foolishness
To think that it wont come at a price
Wether you pray to Allah, Jah, Buddha, or Christ
Everyone struggles
Singles and couples
Through the good times and troubles
The plight could be exaggerated or subtle
But freedom is a state we have a right to claim
That might explain why some fight despite the pain
While others might refrain
We don't fight the same
Some fight with words
Others fight with deeds
Some might concede
While many sacrifice till the end of their life indeed
Protest the war
Support the troops
Stop the violence
report the truth
Wether you are an American soldier on these Baghdad blocks
Or a Palestinian armed with nothing but rocks you want
Freedom; a God given right for all
Freedom; most willing to fight and brawl
Freedom; the real meaning of being empowered
I'd rather die like a man, than live Like a coward
Who's to blame for the hate that hate created
And led us down this crooked path that fate created
We suffer and die everyday while they debate it
Dishonoring the memories of our great belated
What's the real threat to freedom within our nation
Terrorism or our mismanaged education
Is it Al-Queda and these jihadist monsters
Or these crooked politicians with corporate sponsors
Im not blind to the evils that men perform
Putting pressure on us all to then conform
I will end the storm
And pursue a life where my own mind is free to begin to form
Some are trapped cause they're over their heads in debt
Junk food, drugs, Alcohol, cigarettes
It's a persuit for completion
From the streets of Mississippi to the Dafur region they want
Freedom; to live a lifestyle free of strees
Freedom; against the wicked that would opress
Freedom; to give aid to those neglected
Freedom; to be me and you to accept it
Freedom; for those who know the struggle wont end
Freedom; to see mistakes and try to correct
Freedom; to take up arms and try to protect
Life and liberty, Im in pursuit of it
Doing it
And guard against those who try to ruin it
Foolishness
To think that it wont come at a price
Wether you pray to Allah, Jah, Buddha, or Christ
Everyone struggles
Singles and couples
Through the good times and troubles
The plight could be exaggerated or subtle
But freedom is a state we have a right to claim
That might explain why some fight despite the pain
While others might refrain
We don't fight the same
Some fight with words
Others fight with deeds
Some might concede
While many sacrifice till the end of their life indeed
Protest the war
Support the troops
Stop the violence

Wether you are an American soldier on these Baghdad blocks
Or a Palestinian armed with nothing but rocks you want
Freedom; a God given right for all

I'd rather die like a man, than live Like a coward

Well said. And timely. There is a lot of fear being spread around today. We need to hear more about Freedom!
Thanks
