Made to Be Free
Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beast, I'ma beast, I'ma beast on the east coast
Feast, young nigga feast, tryna get the big flow
Your girl want me, pull her like meistro or miestro (Yeah Yeah)
Gone off the word so I gotta grow
(Breathe)
Yeah, I'm too young with the OG's, The rookie with the pros see
Niggas tryna show me, The ways of the ropes (Jeez)
I don't need no proceeds, you give 'em to the old me
Flew into the sun became the one with the most heat
I told 'em, I'm on a new path, new mental
I been teething for a moment we ain't talking dental
I cut off some of my shawties with my own stencil
My only outlet is the page I can vent to
When niggas tryna silence and politic how I'm living
Society tryna get all of us caught with infringements
I see my fate, it's distant, but I know I'm gifted
My higher visions is mainly the reason why there's friction
Between my family and friends, been too independent
Focused on penmanship, all of this finna give us pension
I'm going crazy with finding spaces that I still lay in
But I been losing myself, now get me back to basics, cause
Do you wanna be happy
Do you wanna be free
Do you want to feel bliss
But do You wanna be free
Do you wanna be happy
Do you wanna be free
Do you want to feel bliss
But do You wanna be free
Major trauma I memorized
My dog, looking up to me, seen the fear in his eyes
My auntie, gone from cancer I wrote her my last goodbyes
I been alone with this freedom I feel like it's my demise
Everything I build will crash, I accepted the fact
I ain't hopeless but niggas notice I'm keeping my scraps
What's your motive when everything mounting up on your back
Deal with coping through COVID I gotta go the depths
Often reflect my mirrored past
Seeing us getting distant I can't trust nobody back
I seclude myself from everyone that I lap
I still cover scars with love I know won't last
That's a major setback, that's a true downfall
Tryna meditate to balance out my biggest outcome
I been too Ill-minded wondering when I'm wrong
I'm headstrong so help me, I'm dead wrong unhealthy
(Damn)
Do you wanna be happy
Do you wanna be free
Do you want to feel bliss
But do You wanna be free
Do you wanna be happy
Do you wanna be free




Do you want to feel bliss
But do You wanna be free

Overall Meaning

In Ray’s song “Made to Be Free,” he presents an image of himself as a beast on the East Coast, trying to make a name for himself and earn a big flow. Despite his youth, he rubs shoulders with the OGs and pros, who try to show him the ropes. Ray, however, is independent and needs no support or handouts from anyone. He is on a new path with a new mental state, focusing on his penmanship to vent and ease the friction between himself and his family and friends. He aims to be happy, free, and feel bliss but acknowledges that the journey to achieve these states won’t be easy.


The lyrics convey Ray’s struggle to overcome past traumas, cope with COVID, and find true happiness, which he knows will face many setbacks. He reflects on his low points, from losing loved ones to maintaining relationships and covering up his scars with love. The chorus, consisting of the repeated question “Do you wanna be happy, do you wanna be free, do you want to feel bliss, but do you want to be free?,” emphasizes Ray’s desire and struggle to overcome his past to find happiness in the future.

Lyrics:
I've never really been the one who's worry
always been the one who's keeping it cool
the kinda guy who chill while others hurry
I didn't that know that i've been the fool

I've been telling lies about something real
But I know love is based on honesty
kept thinking how we loves your feel (?)
knowing that it's not just you, it's me
cause I was made to be free

I am made to be free (2x)

I was made to be free

Well, I am made to be free

Been thinking about myself and myself only
I've been like that since I was a kid
I've always put my feet wherever I wanted to
Before I saw who I could be

Kept thinking where did I go wrong
Then realizing where I do come from
Was asking how we loves your feel (?)
knowing that it's not just you, it's me
cause I was made to be free

I am made to be free (2x)

Well, I am made to be free
That's my choice
What i need
To be free

Still thinking how we loves your feel (?)
When i know that it's not about you, just me


Cause I was made to be free (3x)
