#LittleSimz #Free #openmic

[Refrain]
Wishing that the love will set us free (Ah)
Wishing that the love will set us free (Ah)

[Verse 1]
I think that love is forgiving yourself
I think that love is offering your immediate help
I think that love is everything that we need in this world
I think the key is being honest and being yourself
I think love is understanding that people can change
And loving them anyway through every stage
I read All About Love then I gave it to Jade
Love is sharing knowledge, there's so much to gain
Love is every time I put pen to the page
If I don't love what I'm doing, then I'm hardly engaged, yeah
God, you love me though, I am flawed
I know I'm not an innocent child, but I am yours
And if you're with me, you is safe
I know my body isn't immortal, but I am brave
I think you know it's real love when it's sincere
I'ma show 'em I ain't scared, eradicate fear, yeah

[Refrain]
Wishing that the love will set us free
Said that we would never ever
Crash, fold under pressure (Ah)
Love getter, use it to do better
Wishing that the love will set us free
Love is somethin' that you can't measure
No judgment, no pressure (Ah)
It's your letter, your words for whomever

[Verse 2]
I think that fear is not trusting yourself
I think that fear is keeping true information withheld
I think fear can be exposed in abundance of wealth
And then creeps in when you're not loving yourself
Fear can be dressed in the form of protection
Fear can be the culprit of slowing progression
Can be impulsive and be an obsession
I think we fear all the answers, so we don't ask the questions, yeah
I think that sh*t is a lethal weapon
I think we fear being naked from the fear of rejection
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Then why are we obsessed with seeking perfection?
Fear'll probably hear this and feel exposed
Fear works best when love isn't close
But love will never judge you because of your pain
Look in the mirror and say I'll love you unconditionally every day (Ah)

[Refrain]
Wishing that the love will set us free
Said that we would never ever
Crash, fold under pressure (Ah)
Love getter, use it to do better
Wishing that the love will set us free
Love is somethin' that you can't measure
No judgment, no pressure (Ah)
It's your letter, your words for whomever
Wishing that the love will set us free
Said that we would never ever
Crash, fold under pressure
Love getter, use it to do better
Wishing that the love will set us free

[Outro]
Can't hold me down 'cause I've always been free
Why they always wanna hate when the love is free
Hear me now, mic check, it was one, two free
One MOBO weren't enough so I had to get free
I remember when they said nothing in life is free
Evil spirits cannot enter when your soul is free
MJ said he got the tunes I should pull up at free
Every time I bust a lyric, I be feeling so free
Every time I'm on the stage, I be feeling so free
Auntie Simbi what she call me when my niece turned free
Used to bump the train to college I would travel for free
Never miss a countdown it was five, four free
Two, one, take off in the air, I'm free
Shout my brothers locked in the can tryna get free
There's a war outside, pray the people go free
Shout my brothers locked in the can tryna get free
There's a war outside, pray the people go free
Shout my brothers locked in the can tryna get free
Said there's a war outside, pray the people go free
Shout my brothers locked in the can tryna get free
There's a war outside, pray the people go free
