Freedom Lyrics

Uggh!
Pull, pull
Wuh! [Sung sorta like Michael Jackson]
Come on!
Uggh!
Solo, I'm a soloist on a solo list
Alive, never on a floppy disk
Inka, inka, bottle of ink
Paintings of rebellion
Drawn up by the thoughts I think

Yeah!
Come on!
The militant poet in once again, check it

It's set up like a deck of cards
They're sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds
They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit
More like the murals that fit
Don't turn away
Get in front of it

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Yo, check the diagonal
Three brothers gone
Come on
Doesn't that make it three in a row?

"Anger is a gift"

Come on!
Uggh!

Check that!
Uggh!
Come on
Yeah
Uggh

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Yo, check the diagonal
Three million gone
Come on
'Cause they're counting backwards to zero

Environment
The environment exceeding on the level
Of our unconsciousness
For example
What does the billboard say?
"Come and play, come and play"
Forget about the movement

"Anger is a gift"

Yeeeaaahhhh!
Uggh!
Awww, bring that shit in!
Uggh!
Hey!

Freedom...yea...
Freedom...yea right...
Freedom...yeeeaaahhh!
Freedom!
Yea!
Freedom!
Yea right!
Freedom!
Yea!
Freedom!
Yea!
Right!

ALright Let me try this..

First verse is about the indian guy who is mentioned already by someone else as a response and because of what happened to him, zachs thoughts come out..he is the militant poet..

Second verse ...Diamonds r Diamonds, clubs r clubs (police clubs)and a spade is a slang term for a coloured person.

Brotha, did ya forget ya name? Did ya lose it on the wall Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Another song on govt and corporation control over the people. Often used for the fight to free Leanard Peltier, a Native American accused of rebellious acts and incarcerated unjustly for more than 20 years.

"accused of rebellious acts".

what crap. he was convicted of murder.

the question is whether he got a fair trial and whether his parole is being blocked by the FBI.

He was convicted of a double murder which years later Rob Robideau (who was initially aquitted) admitted to. But because of US law, Peltier cannot be tried twice despite the fact that his innocence is blatantly obvious now. I think that answers the question as to whether or not he got a fair trial.

Btw, what the hell are the lyrics posted?

Not Valid

The anger is a gift bit - Stating the fact that if people never got angry, they wouldnt protest, make their voices heard. Maybe even fight for a just cause.

Best progressive Rage song probably, I just love the breakdown to the quiet solo.
