[Intro – 2 bars]
Feelin’ free, feelin’ light, can’t confine what I be
Let the rhythm in my soul, let the real ones see
Soft echo trail on “see…”)
[Verse – 12 bars]
Used to run from the truth, now I lean in deep
Had to sit in the dark just to rise on beat
I was bound by doubt, now I move on peace
Like the keys in jazz, let the silence speak
Broke chains, broke pace, broke out that script
Now the voice in my chest never tells me quit
I was holdin’ my breath, now I let that rip
Got my roots in soul, and my crown don’t slip
(Low harmony on “never tells me quit”)
(Soft BGV: “don’t slip…” airy, female or falsetto)
I ain’t ask for the lane, I became that road
Let the past all fade, now I claim my gold
Got fire in the pen, and the pen don’t fold
Yeah I write with light, watch the truth unfold
(Harmony on last 2 lines; double “truth unfold”)
[Chorus – 8 bars]
Feelin’ free (Harmony above)
I let light in deep (Below)
Can’t cage no queen (Echo: “nah, never fold”)
I just breathe, I just be, I just know ( Doubled)
Feelin’ free ( Full stack)
Keep my feet on peace ( Gentle trio)
Ain’t no shade on me ( “I glow” background)
I just breathe, I just be, I just grow ( Trail echo)
[Outro – Spoken Flow]
Freedom ain’t loud — it’s a quiet fight
Found the truth in the pause, in the silent nights
To the self I was, and the one I’ll be —
Sayin’ clear to the world: I was born to be free
(Soft loops of “Feelin’ free…” fade out under final beat)
(Final “free” – harmony stack, long reverb, fade out)
