Free

Yeah-eah, umm-umm, yeah-eah
Yeah, yeah — yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh
Chorus (Cicero)
Playing in the park, video games, staying up after dark
Family over, house parties
School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»
Chillin' at home playing old CD’s, video games, colourful magazines
Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free
Verse One (Funky DL)
Trading Panini sticker books was Thug Life
Nico Claesen was like the hardest to find
Adidas Gazelles for some were the hardest to buy
1985, Thriller was out, I’m watching Michael as a Zombie
The Huxtables was Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad
With five kids, money in the bank, this a facade?
Immersed in the breakin' culture
It’s like Turbo had us spinning on our backs
Our heads to hand-claps, Ozone
School uniform was fresh on my first day
My favourite television show’s every Thursday'
Fist fights in many places and one we named Las Vegas
Around this time Tyson was the greatest
The Jungle Brothers on my playlist
Headphones with red foam and cassettes tapes you had to turnover
It was a time that slowly disappeared
Looking back on these years like another lifetime
Cos before I’d write rhymes I was…
Chorus (Cicero)
Playing in the park, video games, staying up after dark
Family over, house parties
School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»
Chillin' at home playing old CD’s, video games, colourful magazines
Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free
Verse Two (Funky DL)
On the flip-side, we older now
Obligations, responsibilities and paying tax is trying to hold us down
For some of us it’s too much, I seen friends locked up
Struggling with drugs and get shot
Lose they kids to the system, from care homes to prison
Could be a lack of wisdom, a lack of recognition
A lack of supervision, a lack of discipline
A lack of one parent as a participant
I’m listening to people making facts out opinions
And nothing supersedes making money for dominion
They want millions and millionaires want billions
And everybody’s on the Gram with their brilliance
Like «look at me, don’t I look good?
Here’s another picture of me that I took good
And see the number in the corner increase, that mean they like me»
And all this reminds me is that it’s unlikely that one day I might be…
Chorus (Cicero)
Playing in the park, (yeah), video games, staying up after dark
(ooh-ooh), family over, house parties
School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»
(yeah-eah), chillin' at home playing old CD’s
(yeah-yeah), video games, colourful magazines
Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free
Yo', can we take it back to?
Playing in the park, (yeah), video games, staying up after dark
Family over, house parties
School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»
Chillin' at home playing old CD’s, video games, colourful magazines
Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free
Outro (Cicero)
Playing in the park… chillin' at home…
Video games… old CD’s… feeling so free
