Free At Last lyrics

(Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. from ‘I Have a Dream’ speech: *scratches* …will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!")

[Chorus]
It feels so good to be free, it feels so good to be free at last
It feels so good to be free, it feels so good to be free at last
It feels so good to be free, it feels so good to be free at last
It feels so good to be free, it feels so good to be free at last

[Verse 1]
Free at last were the words that were used by Martin
I didn’t understand it then but now that I’m startin’
To really get the message and the meaning behind that
Put two and two together now I see just where I’m at
A young black brotha in a world that’s vickin’
They hypnotizin’, tamin’ and trickin’
Really and truly, I don’t understand it
But it’s runnin’ so smooth, I guess somebody planned it
I’ll admit, I’ve done it all, I’ve sold and stolen
Hung with brothas high-post rollin’
Made it with ladies, visiting clinics
There’s nothing really left, homeboy, I’m finished
Now every hustler’s dream is just a smooth way out
Another chance to see, what life is really about
See, the cash is cool, a place to spend there’s sure to be
But what you really want in life is soul security
I’m saying that to say this, I looked at my past
And man, I’m gettin’ juiced, because I’m free at last
