Story behind the song
I wrote this one for all the ladies who believe they have to wait for some thug boyfriend who was dumb enough to get himself locked up.
Lyrics
Free
I don't mean to be bold, but your dude I been told
he's been detained as of late, as a guest of the state
Don't deny your needs, every dove needs her seeds
It's his crime and his dime
Don't you dare do his time
'cause you're free, (free)
Free, (free), free, (free)
Free
When you're sending commissary and you count down every day
Do you feel vivacion, creation time slip away?
Was the last time somebody touched ya' just a frisk on visiting day?
Ooh, it's a crime, it's your prime
Don't you dare do his time
'cause you're free, (free)
Free baby, (free), free, (free)
Ooh, free
Now I ain't tryin' to make you cry my dear
But sometimes the truth is really hard to hear
'cause before (brother went in)
dude was (stressin' you back then)
He was (comin' in late)
Tellin' lies (he couldn't keep straight)
5-0 was (kickin' in your door)
'cause he put (yayo in your drawer)
Hey, then the boys in blue (threw you on the floor)
How could you (try to ignore)
Ooh, it's a crime, it's your prime baby
Don't you dare do his time girl
'cause you're free, (free)
Free baby, (free), free, (free)
Ooh, say it wit' me ya'll
Free, (free), ooh that's what's good, (free)
Do you baby, (free), go on and live girl
Free, (free), huh, get your hair did, (free)
Ooh get your toes done, (free)
Go on have fun. You are (free)
You are (free). You are (free)
Ooh, free
Great Retro sound and you fit it so well with your vocal style here! Love the feel and your approach. You sell an "old" song and make it new again. Like that.
