"Finally Free" lyrics - LECRAE
Lord I pray
You wash away
All these things
I've got on me Cause
I'm afraid to walk away
From the man
I used to be
So break away all these chains
So I can finally be free I'm finally free [2x]
They go platinum around the world
I go wood in the hood Still good if
I can't be what they think I should Shoot
I used to work security that was my night job
Hating every minute of it hoping
We got robbed Mad at my bosses
Taking plenty losses
Sick of seeing these drug dealers riding by flossing
What I go to school for? Just to pay these school loans?
Plotting on the hustle but I'm knowing that ain't cool though
One of my friends got sentenced for years
I ain't right enough I was being selfish it's clear Yo E if you listening I apologize I was running from the old me
Tryna follow Christ You was with me in them streets
You took them blows for me
The least I could done was try to hold you down my G
I got love for you hoping you see what happened in time
We both guilty I just been acquitted of mine
I'm free
Lord I pray
You wash away
All these things
I've got on me Cause
I'm afraid to walk away
From the man
I used to be
So break away
All these chains
So I can finally be free
I'm finally free [2x]
Hey yo this verse is for my siblings
Wish that we was closer
Momma said she think that it will happen
When we older But truth be told
We would prolly be close
If the old me was still here but now
He's a ghost I know
I was the catalyzer starting all the trouble And now my life changed and I'm steady on the hustle
Be wanting to call more but I don't know what to say
But your name is on my lips every night that I pray
Know you thinking I'm a preacher man
I'm just tryna live in the light of the son who's so faithful to forgive
Wasn't first to get married but I'm first to have kids
Let me be first to apologize for anything I did
It's hard to walk away from the only life that you know
The closer I get to God the more I learn and I grow
Hope you seeing my life you know I been changed
I ain't do this on my own man God intervened I'm free
Lord I pray
You wash away
All these things
I've got on me Cause
I'm afraid to walk away
From the man
I used to be
So break away
All these chains
So I can finally be free
I'm finally free [2x]
Lastly to every lady that I dated or manipulated
I hate to say it but my commitment was overrated
I was dedicated to being free
I thought that I could find it somewhere between you and me
But I was wrong I kept moving on treating you like an object
But you know that I've grown
I finally found the freedom unlike any I had known
You were never the problem it was me all along
And now I thank my wife for dealing with my past
Our covenant's 'til the death promised that we would last
If that was the old me the first sign of trouble I'd flee
Thank God I'm finally free that's real
Lord I pray
You wash away
All these things
I've got on me Cause
I'm afraid to walk away
From the man
I used to be
So break away
All these chains
So I can finally be free
I'm finally free [2x]
