_ _ _ How does this stand for [C#] freedom of your mind and your soul?
[D] Yo, half the [B] story has never been told
Ladies, [C#] you got to demand what you want [D] and what you want is what's [B] right
[F#m] Yo, listen up on the track, [C#] listen up and deal with it [Em] right
Freedom [D#] for time for the sisters
[F#] _ [C#m] Chakers, watch [D] this
Here we go [D#] now
Listen [F#] if I'm fool for rule I be the ruler like [C#m] sick grip
Get [D] with this quick with it
Don't need to swear and [F#] shit
Pop we got a brand new bag
[C#m] I'm a got a brand new [E] jag, go tag
I ain't [F#] no old hag
I represent not only in the kitchen and the bedroom
But [D] also in the boardroom
So give me more [F#] room
Deny my opportunity, you in jeopardy
Yo, you [D] set me free, don't hinder me, [D#m] let me be
[F#] I'm fighting for freedom, I got the heat in case [C#] you need em
Straight [D] soldier, ain't nobody told ya
[F#] Hold up on your eyes, I know you're gauging your [C#m] plans
Do whatever you [D] can to oppress the [F#] man
But when it's time to drop the bomb
You're gonna phone any [C#m] soul
You say you're never mad, a [Dm] sister so strong
You're wrong now, [F#m] how can we be free
It takes you and it [C#m] takes me
To blend [D] together in harmony [D#] and [F#] peace
And love and all of the [C#] above
Sisters coming [A#] together representing one [F#] love No disrespect
But we gotta get it [C#] together
No matter what [Dm] the weather
Sisters gotta stick [B] together
And sisters be strong, [C#] don't let em steal your world
Hold on, [C] cause this is got it going on [B] here
Spread your mind and [C#] your soul
Don't let no guys come [D] take control
[B] Cause you're young and you play the role
[C#m] And out the [D] story has never been told
Whoever said these are the [F#] things that you can do
And the [C#] things you ain't supposed
So where my [D] brother when I think I'm getting [D#m] closer
[F#m] That's when I tend to think of Rosa
[C#] Howards that took a seat to make a [E] stand
But now it's standing
[F#] We've got a mozart man
Then they never thought and planned
And that a [C#m] ruse for us to sit would be a [D] dozer
Just fucking roll [D#m] a poster
[F#] Whether tradition or religion
Why you [N] question my decision
Why you spend up all your [B] time trying to get into my mind
Why everybody and they [F#] mama got to add to all my drama
Mad [D] drama, hell if I'ma keep my [D#m] drama
Naming [F#] feminists and hell creating crazy sexy
Black ass in the palms of your player hater's stairs
My only chance of being free
Is to [C#m] fly within me and it's [D] illegal
To kill a fucking [D#m] [F#] eagle
A bird is never more important than [C#m] my people
I guess we didn't need him so I took a wing
My way [F#m] is free
Because free your mind and your soul
[C#m] No guys can [D] take control
[D#m] Because [F#m] you're young and you play the role
[C#m] And I'm not [D] sorry
I's never been [C#m] told
My spiritual awareness leads me to believe
That kids out in [E] the distance can come with the [F#] breeze
We've been together since I created [C#m] Borda
The African [D] Borda
Celebration is [F#] in order
Pop the cork
Give champagne [C#m] to the stork
That [Dm] brought the light [F#] to my mama in New York
I'm African I come again and [C#] again
You keep me down I [D] come back up
I'm coming back in multiples of [F#m] ten
You know where I come from
[C#m] Sprung from the belly of the [D] beach
Used to speak [D#m] African tongue
[F#] So I showed her next one [C#m] Borda
Sprung the devil [D] over my shoulder
I'm [F#] getting over cause I'm bolder
Than the next time in [C#] London
Cause I speak the real [D] truth from the text
[D#m] Who's next to flex [F#] with this S-I-S-T-E [C#m]-R
The sun, the moon, the [D] moon, the star
Wanna see how [B] open you are
Bring your brain and your soul
[C#m] Don't make no dice, come [D] take control
[D#m] Cause [F#] you're young, I know you play the role
[C#m] But right now you're over, [F#] let them know
[F#] Come and take a walk with me
[C#m] Close a walk with thee
[D] See what only I can [F#] see
Nobody knows the trouble I [C#] see
So it's back to [D] the womb of everlasting [F#m] life And truth
Let the heaven of [C#] a sister embrace you
[D] And praise among her [C#] gods
Come and do the light, let it shine
[C#m] Blackness is proud of [F#m] the blackness of your skin
The blackness of your mind
I am who I am and that's who I [C#] be
And I don't give a [D] damn if your eyes can't [F#m] see
If you can't see what I can't see
[C#] That you're blind, baby
[G] I'm a woman who's [F#] black
So back up, back up, close the zone
[C#] I'm a tough strong woman
[D] With the world that we're [D#m] living on
It ain't [F#] who you know, it ain't [C#m] what you drive
It's about [F#] how you feel about yourself
On the inside
When your self-esteem is [C#] low
And they call you a [D] ho, then you think you's the [F#] ho
But that ain't what the Lord God made you to [C#m] be
I need you to [D] see
You're black and [F#m] you're free
Just bring your mind and your soul
[C#m] Don't let no guys come [D] take control
[B] Because you're [F#m] young
And I will play the role
[C#m] And out that [D] story has never been [B] told
Bring your [F#] mind and your soul
[C#m] Don't let no guys come [D] take control
[F#m] Because you're young
And I will play [C#] the role
