Kanye West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take it from me, someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, someday we'll all be free
Just wait and see, someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, someday, someday, someday

Wakin' up to, "I can't do this anymore" texts (woo)
And the Bible said I can't have any more sex 'til marriage (woo, woo)
No drip 'til Paris (Paris)
The meek shall flourish (flourish)
So where's my heiress? (Heiress)
You wouldn't understand ('stand)
How thin this air is (air is)
Your friends just starin' (starin')
Everyone's a Karen (Karen)
Claimin' that they care and (care and)
Wasn't given a fair hand (fair hand)
Gettin' called from parents (parents)
God calls for prayer rants (prayers)
Thou strong for their hands (yeah)
I forgot what fear is (yee)
I forgot what fear is (woo)
I forgot what fear is (wee)
Other than the fear of the almighty Yashua
Who knew you before you knew who you was
Wear a Donda tee 'fore you respond to me
Y'all know honestly, y'all all honor me
I know 'cause the headlines why she wanna leave
You knew I follow God, so you should follow me

(Take it from me, someday we'll all be free)

I ain't never rocked with none of y'all, no way (no way)
And I'm pullin' up in that white OJ
Used to wear watch filled with the O'Sheas



Jackson if you nasty
Tweeted, "Death Con" now we past three
(It won't be long, take it from me, someday)
Tweeted, "Death Con" now we past three

(Free, it won't be long)
(Take it from me, someday we'll all be free)
(Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me)

Can we just kind of say like, you like
You like the uniforms? But that's about it
There's a lot of things that I love
That I love, that I love, that I love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kanye West's song "FREE" touch on various themes and emotions. The chorus emphasizes the idea that eventually, everyone will be free. It suggests that despite the struggles and challenges faced in life, there is hope for a brighter future. The repetition of the phrase "someday we'll all be free" conveys a message of optimism and resilience.

The lines about receiving texts saying "I can't do this anymore" and the biblical reference to abstaining from sex until marriage hint at moments of despair and the conflict between personal desires and religious beliefs. The mention of not having drip (fashion) until Paris suggests a longing for validation and status, which is juxtaposed with the notion that the meek will flourish. The line about not understanding the thinness of the air may symbolize feeling isolated or misunderstood.


Kanye also criticizes societal issues in the lyrics. He references people staring and acting like "Karens," claiming to care but not being genuine in their intentions. The line about having a fair hand implies a sense of injustice. Additionally, he mentions being called by parents and God's call for prayer, which could highlight the pressures and expectations placed upon him.


The last part of the song reflects on Kanye's individuality and his ability to overcome fear. He suggests that he has forgotten what fear is, except for the fear of a higher power. He implores others to embrace their faith and follow him as someone who follows God.


Overall, the lyrics of "FREE" explore a range of emotions and experiences, from personal struggles to societal criticisms, and ultimately convey a sense of hope for a future where everyone will be free.
