lyrics

verse 1
alright, new wave living in, swimming in, ladies
and gentlemen, you've been privileged to get
an invitation, to exaltation, 
a destination free of segregation
no prejudice, hatred; over race, sex, class or
orientation, a glorious nation populated by
a misfit renegade band of resistance
lift fists, elevate, stand for enlistment
forward march torridly charged, the phoenix 
aflame free of the cage, door is ajar and we
don’t purport to be God but all authority’s ours
love bizarrely, that’s what we assuredly are  
so we spread it over loops like a condiment
everybody's welcome to come be a part of it
promptly drop the carry-ons, unburden your arms
tarry on no longer, name of the song is      

chorus
live free! (repeat)

verse 2
put us in the mix and get bedlam
folks begging for another fix of what we fed them
heavy heaven slices, difficult to digest
treasure worth the troubles of the flesh but I digress
my set got the medicine for your systems
i mean sound and immune feel ‘em lifting
see there's no ground under you, be a witness
go ahead round up your crew tell 'em listen
dig in have a heaping of; it's more than just sweetened fluff
creme and crust, be in the number so to see and touch
the joy and freedom that we're speaking of
no war studying or worrying do we discuss
'cause we appreciate breath every second that we have it
death around the bend ain't no telling when it happens
so we're here to get it cracking, my people in the back
and in the front and in between, no fronting when we scream

chorus

verse 3
you and i unified through divine ties 
utilize fluid rhyme to remind why 
jewels applied to the fly music i find
and through it try to arise you from sideline 
too shy or full of pride, loosen thy mind
chew or pry through the binds you are tied by
then choose to rise, glue your eyes to the skies and
admire the beautiful shine, then move your behind 
'cause party's not over, youngins to the thirty 
and older card holders, get involved show love
go nuts etiquette, revelry and merriment
walls and defenses fall like confetti strips
a no petty clique separatist premises
everybody sweating in the pit, shedding heaviness
from the penniless to plenty rich, there's no
impediment to membership so enter in and

chrous

outro
ain't about clothes and it ain't about cash
ain't about race and it ain't about class
no longer enslaved by the ways of the past
all restraints off we're free at last
all restraints off we're free at last
all restraints off we're free at last (repeat)
