Tekst piosenki 'Free' wykonawcy Bazanji

Hrumph, yeah

Let me take it back to my first time when I started doing this thing
I had visions of my future self, I never thought I’d see them
I had no money, no following, so no one helping me then
Just recording all on my own, no one listened when I would send
Just left on read

Damn I still remember that day
Checked my latest song on my Soundcloud
Saw a couple thousand new plays
I saw my homie and let him know, he said: You came a long way
And we kept talking, till' he finally said that all the streams were fake
I said: No way
But it was true
He paid 20 for a thousand views
Cut him off right then and there
Never wanted that type of move
Only wanted the real thing, no shortcuts in my avenue
We never spoke since then but it’s something that I just had to do

I know
I made friends and I lost friends in my life
Some were my fault, some were their fault
But I'm never gonna think twice
'Cause I'm better now than I once was
Only really had one love
Gave it all to the music, now I see the shit that my mind does
My old dreams came real now
Crazy how this shit feel now
Finally got what I always wanted but somehow I still feel down

Life these days got many waves
Sometimes think I'm gonna drown
Sometimes I just feel amazed
I hope one day I’ll make it out
To my true self I never found
Believed in friends who let me down
Couldn’t ever just see it then
But looking back I see it now
Too scared to go open up
'Cause people wanna just leave my dry
Or maybe I'm just scared myself
But don’t believe that’s the reason why

'Lotta people on the internet look real happy on their Instagram
Finally met em in real life and I found out that it’s all pretend
Crazy 'cause that image was the shit that I was just chasing then
Thank God that I realized now I been focused on bigger plans
Do a lot for my people now
A lotta shit I don’t speak about
I don’t need to show everyone just to try to make me feel real now
I'm doing fine on my dopamine
Don’t need that life it’s make believe
You falling for their narrative
It’s a lifestyle that you can’t achieve

'Cause nobody really be perfect
But they making you feel worthless
Gotta go find what your worth is
Then you gotta put your work in
I built this all from the ground up
16 I got no love
Father moved to a new city
Knew then I had to man up
Got no time for that bullshit
Had to find what my truth is
I put my thoughts into my words now people everywhere use it

'Cause people been looking up to me
Can’t control but I gotta lead
Never post 'bout drugs or money
'Cause that’s not what I'm supposed to be
Always post my true self
Hope somebody can find help
Getting thousands of messages
Say my music saved 'em from mental health
Or suicide

Man, what a life!
The reason why I stay up at night
'Cause more fans means more pressure
One wrong step it’s do or die
But this the life that I chose
I can’t turn back anymore
I came so far it’s been insane
I'm thankful for every little thing
Got a long road that’s ahead of me
But everything was meant to be
I finally gotta just let it out
And with that I'm finally
Free
