Freedom

A pump A pump Wuh!
Come on!
Uggh!
Solo, I'm a soloist
on a solo list
All live, never on a floppy disk
Inka, inka, bottle of ink
Paintings of rebellion
Drawn up by the thoughts I think
Yeah!
Come on!
The militant poet in once again, check it
It's set up like a deck of cards
They're sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds
They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit
More like the murals that fit
Don't turn away
Get in front of it
Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?
Yo, check the diagonal
Three brothers gone
Come on
Doesn't that make it three in a row?
[Your anger is a gift]
Come on!
Uggh!
Drop back!
Uggh!
Come on
Yeah
Uggh
Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?
Yo, check the diagonal
Three million gone
Come on
'Cause ya know they're counting backwards to zero
Environment
The environment exceeding on the level
Of our unconciousness
For example
What does the billboard say
Come and play, come and play
Forget about the movement
[Your anger is a gift]
Yeeeaaahhhh!
Uggh!
Awww, bring that shit in!
Uggh!
Hey!
Freedom...yea...
Freedom...yea right...
Freedom...yeeeaaahhh!
Freedom!
Yea!
Freedom!
Yea right!
Freedom!
Yea!
Freedom!
Yea!
Right!
Freedom - Rage Against The Machine
Released on the band's self-titled debut album, 'Freedom' stands as a defining track in Rage Against The Machine's catalog, blending their signature fusion of rap-rock with political urgency. The song features a driving, repetitive guitar riff that anchors the track's aggressive yet melodic structure, characteristic of the group's approach to alternative metal and hip-hop. Thematically, it addresses the struggle for liberty and the suppression of free speech, reflecting the socio-political climate of the early 1990s. As a cornerstone of their discography, the recording exemplifies the band's commitment to using music as a vehicle for social commentary, influencing countless artists who followed in the post-grunge and rap-metal movements. Its enduring presence in their live performances and compilations underscores its status as an anthem of resistance.
