Hear The Song
Freeway Lyrics

When you hear the song (feel me)
If you truly listen to the song, you can understand me and what I have gone through.

Will you cry (uh it's all real baby)
Does my pain and struggle move you to tears? Because this is very real and personal for me.

Cause you know you wrong(you know you wrong)
Have you done something that weighs on your conscience, something you know you shouldn't have done?

Will you cryyyy (Holla) will you cry...
Will your emotions show? Will you express empathy and realize the gravity of what I have been through?

Yo, say hello (sup)
Greetings, allow me to introduce myself.

To Mr. Ain't gon' be shit
I am a man who has nothing to lose.

Get a job, get your kids somethin' for Easter
Advocating the importance of being a responsible parent, who can provide for their children.

Knowin' I just came home ain't got nothin to eat with
I have just been released from jail without any means of sustenance.

Bitch outta line -
This woman has crossed a line or boundary that I can no longer tolerate.

Hoe been drove me outta my mind
This woman's actions have had such an impact on my mental state that I am no longer myself.

She like, I shoulda knew before I lay down and slept with him (slept with him)
This woman regrets her decision to have sex with me.

Now she wish that she could sleep with him (sleep with him)
She regrets losing the chance to be with me now that I have become successful.

Take a stroll with him
She wants to walk around with me and be seen with me.

want to creep with him (with him)
She also desires to have a secret affair with me.

Roll with him (with him)
She wants to go out and have fun with me.

And turn to a freak on him
Sexually, she wants to be wild and free with me.

Ain't have no patience with him when the ceilin leaked on him
She never supported me while I was going through tough times.

But I'm a boss baby you crossed the line
As a boss or someone in charge, she crossed a line and I won't tolerate it.

No orders go rock to hit all your girls
I will tell all her friends about her behavior and how she has wronged me.

From the bed to the tub, bathtub to the ceilin
She has now become irrelevant and I am rising up to greatness.

Killin' the world... holla!!
I am now owning and conquering the world.

I ain't big but scrap you dead wrong
Although I may not be physically imposing, you have made a mistake by crossing me.

Ya'll coulda scrapped it out
There was a better way to handle the conflict other than murder.

He was never known for shootin' the toola packin' the chrome
The person who was killed was never known for being violent or carrying weapons.

He was known for shootin' the hoops up
He was known for playing basketball and not for being violent.

Little hustle nigga grind (grind)
He was just an average guy trying to earn some money.

To get his jeans and boots up
He was just trying to buy clothes and shoes for himself.

At the summer league game D game rough
Things got violent during the basketball game.

And the summer heat had ya'll niggaz feelin' like ya'll so damn tough
The extreme heat made the situation even more tense and aggressive.

Wrong words, couple of shoves, park full of hoes
The violence escalated due to a few wrong words, some shoving and the presence of women.

Had his hands all in your mug
He was getting in your face and provoking you.

How could you roll with pride in your way
You let your pride cloud your judgment and lead you to violence.

You drove with your .38 to the place where he stay
You brought a gun to his home, which ultimately led to his death.

Said, ?say hi to the pearly gates and scrolls.?
At the moment of the shooting, you reveled in your newfound power and control over life and death.

Now I pop beers reminisce with your bro
I am now reminiscing about your life with your brother and remembering you in a positive light.

You can't make it to the show
You can no longer attend concerts or participate in life because you are dead.

And niggaz make it to the jail
Instead of living life, others have ended up behind bars.

Shed a tear
Despite your actions, there is still sadness and regret surrounding your death.

Oh look
I am now addressing someone different; someone who would talk down to me.

Who could it be, Ms. Lee
The listener should understand who I am referring to: a teacher who doubted me.

Think harder, Freeway L. Pridgen
I am now referring to myself by my full name, including my last name, to show my success and rising above the odds.

Shit you used to tell me make me want to work harder
Although you doubted me, it only fueled my desire to prove you wrong and succeed.

At gettin' crack spots sent me to prison
I have gone to prison because of my involvement with selling drugs.

Said I'm never gonna be a thang
You thought I would never be a success, but you were wrong.

So I listened and skipped school
Instead of pursuing traditional education, I put my faith in the streets and illegal activity.

Had them thing distributed
I was successful in distributing drugs and criminal activity.

Fuck class, on the block all day
I chose to engage in illegal activity instead of going to school.

My science was choppin', baggin', dividin', addin', the math
I learned how to run a successful drug operation by calculating measurements and profits.

How my teacher gonna tell me I'm dumb
Despite my success, you still think of me as dumb and beneath you.

Had me feelin' like a sore thumb
I felt like a total outcast and a failure in your eyes.

Clown of the class (uh)
I was looked at as a joke in the eyes of my peers and those around me.

I got graded most hated with guns
Despite my success and criminal activities, I was still looked down upon by society and hated.

But now I made it to the life
Despite my background and struggles, I have been successful and have elevated my life.

Couldn't make it to the class
But despite succeeding, I have still not been able to achieve in a traditional school setting.

If this nigga chew your ear
If someone is talking bad about me behind my back.

That's an oh for you to hear
This is an opportunity for you to learn and educate yourself.

Kiss my ass!
I don't care what others think of me anymore, I will do what I want and be successful.

This is dedicated to all, all the motherfucker out there
This song is dedicated to everyone, especially those who may have struggled or doubted me.

You, you, and you mothefucker who did something wrong
This is for everyone who has done something wrong and must live with the consequences of their actions.

All y'all niggaz out there what else y'all gon' do something (the ignorants)
For those who continue to make mistakes and act foolishly, what further will you do to get in trouble?

or there is something wrong right now
If you are not in a good place in your life, what can you do differently to make it better?

You know you wrong (don't you cryyy)
You know when you have done something wrong, so don't pretend otherwise.
