I eat and breath just like you

I even bleed just like you

I′m just like youI got my own fam just like you

And I'll do anything I can for em just like you

I mean

I know we all want the same for our kids

A future that is better than the life that we lived

Praying to a higher power hoping something would give

Not knowing if it even exists

Yea I′m just like you

But I didn't grow just like you

So I don't know just like you

I was never taught to read how can I succeed just like you

I wish that I could dream just like you

I know it′s crazy but

It′s easy to see you don't have to agree

When you dig into the roots we all apart of the tree

The only difference in you and the person in me

Is I ain′t from the land of the free just like you

Land of the free

Land of the free

Imagine everything I could be

If I was only from the land of the free

Land of the free

Imagine everything I could be

If I was only from the land of the free

I hear a lot of y'all are upset there

Saying we dont have the right to step there

But if everything was fine where we are then nah

We wouldn′t all be dying tryna get there

You hear the stories and what they say

You see the photos and look away

They're picking our bodies up everyday

Tryna make it to the land of free

We′ve been deprived of our peace

Ain't no food for a feast

Been no sleep since the gangs over ran the police

They raping all of the women kidnapping kids in the street

They shut down all the schools so there ain't no one to teach

They tell me I gotta join or I′ll be dead in a week

It′s nothing I can avoid cuz they gon' mark me as weak

I got a daughter that′s 2 and I don't want her to see

This side of life I just wish she could be

From the land of the free

Land of the free

Land of the free

Imagine everything she could be

If she was only from the land of the free

Land of the free

Imagine everything she could be

If she was only from the land of the free

Theres a lil me in all of us

Can′t Imagine how scared my daughter was

A thousand miles to border was the distance

So for instance we were walking from New Jersey to Florida

That's a long way ain′t it

Yea I know

Imagine not being able to use the road

Cuz the second that your spotted your cover forever blown

And that's the moment your whole family is gone

It's not a game

More than tired

Delusion is creeping into my brain

Carrying my kid cuz she weak from the hunger pains

But we would of already been dead if we woulda stayed

So I′d rather risk it all tryna make it another day

And I don′t know what's in store

But we gon′ make it for sure

Even if I gotta swim us to shore by any means

I refuse to sit back and be a victim of war

I'll break my back to give my family more

You tryna tell me

If the place you call home wasn′t safe anymore

And your country didn't have any law

With no future for your kids while y′all sat there starving and poor

You wouldn't die tryna make it across?

Just like me?

For the land of the free

Land of the free

Imagine everything that we'd be

If we′d of made it to the land of the free

Land of the free

Imagine everything that we′d be

If we'd of made it to the land of the free
