Free To Be Me - Rick James

I’m up, down, middle of my room

Someone got excited, someone dropped the spoon

A joke, a smoke, I’m crawling on my knees

I’m feeling paranoia, someone rock it, please

A place, a space, any box will do

Just don’t let the sun in, please, until I’m through

A room, a tomb, with all those doctors there

Asking crazy questions, aren’t they well aware?

I’m free to be me

I’m wild as a cat, busy as a bee

Free to be me

I do what I choose, I done paid my dues

I’m free to be me

Ask me why I dare, I’ll say I don’t care

I’m free to be me

Until the end of time, I’ll say what’s on my mind, baby

Day and night, there’s always someone there

Watching like an angel, do angels really care?

I stand, I fall, just one day at a time

I keep my life together, but I can change my mind

I love, I lust, but even more I care

Sex is not a fashion, something that you wear

The truth, the lies, I hear them all the time

Coming from a stranger, a real good friend of mine

I’m free to be me

I’m wild as a cat, busy as a bee

Free to be me

I do what I choose, I done paid my dues

You can say what you feel

I paid dues to be for real

I can afford to wave my freak flag high

Free to be me

A funky millionaire, my God has placed me there

Free to be me

When I’m on the down, He brings me back around, baby

Free!

Sing it to me, baby-baby-baby-baby-baby…

Free!

Free!
