Freedom
Lady Zamar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My strength, my resurrection, rebirth?
My God, me and man both come and return to dirt
You gained your wings in heaven, I gained my wings on earth
I came a long way in my grove
Realized beauty in the heart and the soul
The worm got a glow that the world don't know
And the stripes that I earned, it made me bold
Came out warm when the world was cold
I got my wings and I spread 'em out
To cover you with love, I gotta talk about it
Gotta change the rider, gotta take the throne
That's where beauty like me belong
For the motherland, a mother man
Right or wrong and I'm still praying
With both hands that you see the butterfly
And the caterpillar too and its wings spread
I'm a fly chick and I'm righteous
My own resurrection taught me what life is
Love supreme, worth the fight
With a gentle soul, with a brightness
We can brighten this dark world
Take a flight even if the wind twirls
And the day curls, it's night still
I'ma shine bright like the sun feels warm
My butterfly came from the storm
I got my wings and I kept going on
Don't forget about the night
And the chrysalis that kept you warm
'Cause love's inside
Push yourself for the light
Show the beauty and the might within
Your life's divine
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
I've got paper, I've got stakes
Crystalizing tokens of memories here
In my head, the price has been paid
I've been dead, I’ve done learned to oh yes learned to
See myself, I can see myself
And what you won't give my destiny's made
Recover from sin rescued from hate
I'm glad I was made, I'm the happier yeah
I remember the day you threw some shots
You called me ugly, you threw some rocks
Still had to climb though, you put up blocks
Rose from the bottom, now I live on top
Negativity, I can't be a prop
I can't be in locks, I'm too free a box
Float like a butterfly, big ass shot
It's a process I counted on the clock
You've couldn't process my transformation cost
The fight, the tears, I still ain't lost
Freedom, I rose despite the cross
Thank God for the wings to my broken heart
The boss king matriarch
Freedom is when you love who you are
Where we end ain't where we start
Freedom is when you find a light in the dark, go
Don't forget about the night
And the chrysalis that kept you warm
'Cause love's inside
Push yourself for the light
Show the beauty and the might within
Your life's divine
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme, gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
Gimme freedom
The lyrics of Lady Zamar's song "Freedom" are a powerful tribute to the journey of self-discovery and self-love. The first verse addresses the beauty and strength that the world fails to see and appreciate. The singer acknowledges the transient nature of life, how all things eventually return to dirt. However, while you may gain your wings in heaven, she found hers on earth. The second verse emphasizes how the singer discovered beauty in the heart and soul, despite societal definitions of beauty. She reminds the listener that despite the struggles and hardships she faced, she emerged stronger and bolder. She spreads her wings to "cover you with love," and urges the listener to recognize the power of transformation and the beauty of both the caterpillar and the butterfly.
The chorus drives home the theme of the song, "Gimme freedom." The singer is not asking for freedom from an external force, such as oppression or tyranny. Rather, she wants the freedom to be herself, to fully embrace her divine purpose, to find and love herself. She acknowledges the hardships and challenges that come with the journey of self-discovery, but insists that she has gained her freedom despite them.
The bridge is a declaration of self-worth and self-love. The singer affirms her own value, recognizing the price that she has paid for her transformation. She acknowledges the negativity and criticism that she has encountered, but refuses to be held back by it. The final verse is a powerful proclamation of the freedom that comes with self-love. The singer tells the listener to push themselves for the light, to show the might and beauty within themselves. She reminds them that freedom is when you find a light in the darkness and embrace your true self.
