[Chorus: Beyoncé]Freedom! Freedom! I can't moveFreedom, cut me loose!Singin', freedom! Freedom! Where are you?Cause I need freedom too!I break chains all by myselfWon't let my freedom rot in hellHey! I'ma keep runningCause a winner don't quit on themselves
[Verse 2: Beyoncé]I'ma wade, I'ma wave through the watersTell the tide, "Don't move"I'ma riot, I'ma riot through your bordersCall me bulletproof
[Refrain: Beyoncé]Lord forgive me, I've been runningRunning blind in truthI'ma wade, I'ma wave through your shallow loveTell the deep I'm new

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practiceChannel 9 news tell me I'm movin' backwardsEight blocks left, death is around the cornerSeven misleadin' statements 'bout my personaSix headlights wavin' in my directionFive-O askin' me what's in my possessionYeah I keep runnin', jumpin' the aqueductsFire hydrants and hazard dustSmoke alarms on the back of usBut mama don't cry for me, ride for meTry for me, live for meBreathe for me, sing for meHonestly guidin' meI could be more than I gotta beStole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisyCode on me, drive on meWicked my spirit inspired meLike yeah, open correctional gates in higher desertYeah, open our mind as we cast away oppressionYeah, open the streets and watch our beliefsAnd when they carve my name inside the concreteI pray it forever reads
