[Verse 1]
Everything I own is everything I owe
If it's on the door can I keep my show?
Yo, I don't even know, I struggle just to cope
Hanging by a thread and you hang a rope

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm more than just the numbers on a pay check
Working hard, don't pay just to live less
Oh my God, I'm waiting for the recess
Give me strength to change, my love
I need this, I need this

[Chorus]
'Cause I believe I'll be free
One day I'll be free
Maybe I'm smoking that good shit
I believe I'll be free
One day I'll be free
No matter what time
The present ain't in my mind

[Verse 2]
Mama always said 'just enjoy the ride
The grass ain't always greener on the other side'
Well
I don't got no cry, these concrete jungle boys
I don't see no grass unless I'm smoking it

[Pre-Chorus]
It's more than just the numbers on a pay check
Working hard, don't pay just to live less
Oh my God, I'm waiting for the recess
Give me strength to change
I need this, I need this

[Chorus]
'Cause I believe I'll be free
One day I'll be free
Maybe I'm smoking that good shit
I believe I'll be free
One day I'll be free
No matter what time
The present ain't in my mind
Save me, save me
No matter how hard the times
I keep my head high
