[Intro: Saudi]
I just want these shackles off of me, want to be free
Freedom is coming tomorrow
[Verse 1: Emtee]
I wanna be free from these chains that are binding me
So I can release all this fire that’s inside of me
I don’t wanna live life ducking bullets
I wanna live life to the fullest
Cause, I did it when they said I couldn’t
And, I did it when they said I shouldn’t
Free, is all I wanna be, ayy
Peace, is all I wanna see, yeah
Free, is all I wanna be yeah
‘Cause I see blessings all around me
[Verse 2: Saudi & Tamarsha]
War still isn’t over, some of my people still ain’t free
Tsotsi taal tryna bridge the gap
[?]
Ngizok’ yeka njani ngiyazi kuthi konke kwakho ngo wami?
[?] keep what belongs to me
Still remember hustling, [?] on the streets
January 1st feel like it’s Christmas eve
(Freedom)
I’d give everything I have in this world, you’d be anybody but me
As long as I win
[Chorus: Tamarsha & Emtee]
Freedom is coming tomorrow
Get ready mama, prepare for your freedom
Freedom is coming tomorrow
Get ready mama, prepare for your freedom
Freedom is coming tomorrow
Get ready mama, prepare for your freedom
I wanna be free from these chains that are binding me
So I can release all this fire that’s inside of me
[Verse 3: Gigi Lamayne]
This is the elevation of the new school
This is the revelation of the hood
You gon’ change your stance an every stride, every move
Like Letta Mbulu be amused to this muse
Freedom came and she saw, she conquered
For every little girl graduating out of college
They walked and we flew
Was a long road too
Now I’m yelling in the streets
Zozibini what’s good?!
Yo, wa khal’ isgubu
Ba khal’ umkhulu
Tell them to remember that they grew from these roots
And they never should deter from the [?] that they come from
We gon’ sing another sing-song
Walking to Soweto with our martyrs and they latch on
Singing to the heavens and they heard your fears
When you’re yearning for a future, you have nothing fear
[Verse 4: MJ Machaba]
M-Jeezy in the building
I came from the village
I was looking for a million
Just to stack it to the ceiling
But freedom had other plans
[?], that Mercedes Benz
[?], then stack them rands
There’s eagles, spreading out their wings
Nikhensa ku kateka (Hosi ya mina)
Mali yan’ fanela (Hosi ya mina)
Mfana lo sakeka (Hosi ya mina)
Nikhongelela Africa (Hosi ya mina)
[Chorus: Tamarsha & Emtee]
Freedom is coming tomorrow
Get ready mama, prepare for your freedom
Freedom is coming tomorrow
Get ready mama, prepare for your freedom
Freedom is coming tomorrow
Get ready mama, prepare for your freedom
I wanna be free from these chains that are binding me
So I can release all this fire that’s inside of me
[Verse 5: Blaklez]
Crocodile tears tsa Sarafina
Ha di wela mo fatshe, di sutlhwa ke nna
‘Phelo bothata, modimo o supa tsela
Kgale ba thata, shapa thupa fela
The heroes, would’ve liked to meet them
But the fact is blood is the price of freedom
From the dojos, trying to find a life with meaning
You were born to win, so don’t fight the feeling
The new wave looking for a new way
Explore both sides of the coin but don’t be two-faced
Squeezing out the tooth-paste
Poverty is the tooth ache
Take you to the promised land, nkase le jute
[Verse 6: Reason & Tamarsha]
I refuse to view this lock-down as a sentence
I will not loose my hair from this extension
‘Cause I see many are following, I’m still standing
Gotta keep it moving and not lose the momentum
Real love will cover the distance (Real love)
Just let go of the tension (Let it go)
Forget about all of your mentions (Prepare for your freedom!)
No one knows what the future holds and what is next but
Lord behold, if you’re safe at home, you should think about it (Think about it)
Are you taking in what you give out? (Are you?)
Are you in jail or in a safe house?
[Chorus: Tamarsha]
Freedom is coming tomorrow
Get ready mama, prepare for your freedom
Freedom is coming tomorrow
Get ready mama, prepare for your freedom
