2Pac - Wake Me When I'm Free lyrics
[Babatunde Olatunji]
Please.. wake me when I am free
I cannot bear captivity
Where my country, I am told, "Hold no significance"
I withered and died in ignorance
but my inner eye can see, a race,
who reigned as kings in another place
The green trees were rich and full
and every man spoke of beautiful men and women together as people
2Pac - Wake Me When I'm Free - http://motolyrics.com/2pac/wake-me-when-im-free-lyrics.html
War was gone because all was at peace
but now like a nightmare, I woke to see
that I live like a prisoner of poverty..
Please.. wake me when I am free
I cannot bear captivity
For, I would rather be stricken blind
than to live without expression of mind
