Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practice
BC#m
Channel 9 news tell me I'm movin' backwards
BC#m
Eight blocks left, death is around the corner
BC#m
Seven misleadin' statements 'bout my persona
BC#m
Six headlights wavin' in my direction
BC#m
Five-O askin' me what's in my possession
BC#m
Yeah I keep runnin', jump in the aqueducts
BC#m
Fire hydrants and hazardous, smoke alarms on the back of us
BC#m
But mama don't cry for me, ride for me, try for me, live for me
BC#m
Breathe for me, sing for me, honestly guidin' me, I could be more than I gotta be

Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy
BC#m
Code on me, drive on me, wicked, my spirit inspired me
C#mG#m
Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert
C#mG#m7
Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression
C#mG#m7
Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs
C#m
And when they carve my name inside the concrete, I pray it forever reads
[Chorus 3: Beyoncé]C#mBC#mB
Freedom, freedom, I can't move, freedom, cut me loose
