FREEDOM'S COST
A strong soul that's seared with scars
Breaking free of indoctrinated bars
Admiring stars twinkling in the night
Viewing everything with telescopic sight
With the might of modern day Hercules
Standing tall rather than fall on my knees
It may cost me cause many don't see as I
But I'll only shed a single tear outta my eye
If I have to fly solo to reach emancipation
Go ahead and subtract me from the equation
No relation will ever be able to easily control
A Soldier who's willing to die to free his soul
Breaking free of indoctrinated bars
Admiring stars twinkling in the night
Viewing everything with telescopic sight
With the might of modern day Hercules
Standing tall rather than fall on my knees
It may cost me cause many don't see as I
But I'll only shed a single tear outta my eye
If I have to fly solo to reach emancipation
Go ahead and subtract me from the equation
No relation will ever be able to easily control
A Soldier who's willing to die to free his soul

Free your mind,eh?
I always thought those songs were just words set to a catchy beat.
Too busy dancing to look around me.
Hope I do better by those who look to me
