J. Cole - Be Free Lyrics






And I'm in denial
And it don't take no x-ray to see right through my smile
I know, I'd be on the go
And it ain't no drink out there that can numb my soul
No, no

All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free

Can you tell me why every time I step outside
I see my niggas die,
Ooh, I'm letting you know
That it ain't no gun they make that can kill my soul
Oh, no

All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free

Are we all alone fighting on our own
Please give me a chance
I don't wanna dance
Something's got me down
I will stand my ground,
Don't just stand around
Don't just stand around

All we want to do is take these chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free

All we want to do is take these chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free

    I Hate That Racism Is A Thing, If I Existed When Racism Was In every person.... just know if you were racist, you wouldn't wake up the next time u slept. and don't call the police for saying that imagine that racism is around now, what would ya do?
    Let people shoot you? Let them just call you something else when you are a human? or maybe you would let someone beat you then realize that your dying slowly, what im saying is STAND UP FOR YOURSELF and be yourself, don't let anyone get inside of you and wreck that beautiful soul that's hidden within your body.

    The editing to match this song is so perfect. Being Mexican i get some sort of racism towards me but never as worse as my brothers across from us.. touched my heart. this is not a song. This is not a rap. This is a poem, from one of the greatest rappers, one of the greatest poets of all time. God bless.

    O mankind! indeed, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know one another. Indeed, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Indeed, God is all-knowing, all-aware. (The Qur'an, 49:13)

  67. K.... J....

    All 288 people who dislike this song are probably ignorant racist tobacco chewing retards 🤷🏾‍♂️ or just doesn't know music at all. And anyone else who doesn't like this song. Hey that's just my opinion who TF am I? 😅2019 🖕🏾

  68. A.... G....

    Dang that’s sad the police killed unarmed men by their appearance

  69. G.... G....

    this song shows just how fucked up is america and all those racist fucks!!

  70. S.... F....

    These guys Kendrick and J Cole release these kinds of songs, they ignore them but as soon as they release turn ups , you start to see those very people you didn't even think listened to hip hop on posts busy commenting on how dope the beats are and stuff. Stop trying to appeal to other peoples consciences in regards to your problems they are touched today and forget tomorrow, stop relying on God(s), instead work 10x as hard as you do now, establish yourselves, attain power and influence, then bring about the changes you wish to see happen in this harsh world.

    S.... F....

    Facts💯

  71. C.... D....

    This song is soul no doubts

  72. L.... H....

  77. K.... P....

    RIP - BLACK KINGS AND QUEENS. JUDGEMENT DAY WILL COME.

  78. M.... K....

    Always fucking cry hearing this song... a white dude right here, grew up with people I watched get fucked over on some dumb shit, when I was doing the same shit getting passes... the fear of the “black male” (they even dehumanize that shit not even calling the dude a man) by police and society in general just ain’t right... I’m still praying I see the day it’s gone... RIP to all those who lost their lives, and I’ll stand wherever y’all tell me to until this ends

  79. T.... 1....

    2019 and nothing changed it’s getting worse😬 my people we need to get together and be for eachother

  80. J.... H....

    Touch my mind,heart and soul.

  81. G.... M....

    The first time I watched this was last year, I was 15 y-o. My brother showed it to me and it was heartbreaking, I cried the hole video, so I've never watched ever since. I've decided to watch it now again and still, it is such a deep, true, brutal video. I'm a white teen, and if it is this horrific to me, I can't even imagine how difficult it is for a black person to watch it. J. Cole really is more than a musician, he is a poet, he is a story teller.
    I hope some day this racist bs will stop, and my prayers are with all those who have been a target of this epidemy and with their families.❤️

  82. G.... E....

    Rip to anyone dying to these crooked and racist cops smh can't go anywhere black in 2019

  83. B.... U....

  85. A.... W....

    Even though I'm a white man, I feel nothing but hatred against those racists and feel whole heartedly sorry for every black man that died unnecessarily due to a white man. Wish I could do something to prevent that shit from happening

  86. L.... ....

    It’s crazy how they can cuff a dead man.

    Billions to trillions of years of evolution. We are constantly improving our technology and healthcare. And yet we still are too dumb to respect each other and be equal.
