ദൈവമേ …
മതിവിഭ്രമത്തില് നിന്ന് മോചിതരാവാന് ഈ വേദന നമ്മേ സഹായിക്കട്ടെ.
J. Cole Performs ‘Be Free’ Live on The Late Show with David Letterman
Be Free
J. Cole
And I’m in denial
And it don’t take no x-ray to see right through my smile
I know, I be on the go
And there ain’t no drink out there that can numb my soul
Oh no
All we wanna do is take the chains off
All we wanna do is break the chains off
All we wanna do is be free
All we wanna do is be free
Can you tell me why
Every time I step outside I see my niggas die
I’m lettin’ you know
That there ain’t no gun they make that can kill my soul
Oh no
All we wanna do is take the chains off
All we wanna do is break the chains off
All we wanna do is be free
All we wanna do is be free
Forget this chain, ’cause this ain’t me
Though I’m eternally grateful to Jay Z
Was so elated, we celebrated like Obama
Waited until his last day in office
To tell the nation, brothers is getting their reparations, hey!
A man can dream, can he?
No disrespect, in terms of change
I haven’t seen any
Maybe he had good intentions
But was stifled by the system
And was sad to learn that he actually couldn’t bring any…
That’s what I get for thinking…
This world is fair
They let a brother steer the ship
And never told him that the ship was sinking
But I got other shit to think about…
Like my bank account
Forget that watch, you paid too much for it
You ought to be ashamed
When brothers back home be dreading when the seasons change
Cause they ain’t got no heat
And they ain’t got no AC
WalMart distribution fired my homie
He just had a baby
You wonder why it’s been so many B and E’s lately
While brothers from the hood shooting like it’s TNT lately
Since all the ballers leaving college early
I turn on the TV and don’t see no brothers with degrees lately
Are we all alone, fighting on our own
Please give me a chance, I don’t wanna dance
Somethings got me down, I will stand my ground
Don’t just stand around, don’t just stand around
.
[Eyewitness account from Dorian Johnson:]
So now it was like the officer is pulling him inside the car and he’s trying to pull away. At no time the officer said that he was going to do anything until he pulled out his weapon. His weapon was drawn and he said, “I’ll shoot you” or, “I’m going to shoot” and in the same moment, the first shot went off. We looked down and he was shot and there was blood coming from him. Then we took off running
[Eyewitness account from Dorian Johnson:]
As we took off running I ducked and hid for my life, because I was fearing for my life. I hid behind the first car I saw. My friend, he kept running, and he told me to keep running because he feared for me too. So as he was running the officer was trying to get out of the car, and once he got out the car he pursued my friend but his weapon was drawn. Now he didn’t see any weapon drawn at him or anything like that, us going for no weapon. His weapon was already drawn when he got out the car. He shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, and started to get down, but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and he fired 7 more shots and my friend died
