Free Yourself lyrics

Oooohhhh
This is me
[speaking] this is who i am..
[verse one]

I'm still tryna make it out
Cause i'm still just another girl from the ghetto
There's so much in my life
I break down cause i'm so deep in the struggle
(there isn't sun in rain. there ain't joy in pain.)
Thought i found my way out then i'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings

(feat. Missy Elliott)

[Intro Missy Elliott:]
I dont need anybody else
But you
Come on

[weird voice]

[Fantasia:]
[verse 1]
Boy
Stop playin tricks on me
Cuz when i think i found the right one
I end up lonely
So dont judge me
Before you get to know me
I dont wanna say your love
Make me your one and only
Ooh
[chorus]
Come on
I dont want nobody else
I want you to myself

[Fantasia (talk):]
I mean i'm not gon' beg you
I see, i see you just ain't ain't actin right
It's ok

[Verse 1:]
Everytime i need someone to be there when i had me one of them crazy days (i ain't gon' beg you)
Everytime i want someone to treat like they always said they were gon' treat like (i ain't gon' beg you)
[Hook:]
Because i let you slide before
But i see you ain't gon' learn

[Verse 1]
The things you told me I
Had me open
Gave you something I gave nobody else
Led me to believe you had had just what i need
Now i see its game guy been dragging my name
You put on a show keep the music slow
Got all up in my ear saying things that i love to hear
Tears came to my eyes but im not gonna cry
Everything that you ever said turned out to be all lies

[Chorus 2x]

Ooooooo
Ooooooo

Summertime
When the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high
You’re daddy’s rich
And your mom is good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise up singing
Then you spread your wings
And fly to the sky

But till the mornin’

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine

Little things I should have said and done, oh

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Baby we need to talk
I am not trying to start a fight but
Something with us is wrong
And you can not deny it
Please forgive me for saying
But i'm feeling like maybe your heart ain't in it lately
It's gon hurt me but i got to tell you baby

[Chorus]

Ridiculous (why we)
Don't talk that much (when i)
I love you when i give you (all i got)

[Chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

It's about time we had our own song
Don't know what took so long
Cuz now-a-days it like a badge of honor
To be a baby mama
I see ya payin' ya bills
I see ya workin' ya job
I see ya goin' to school

One sunny, sunny morning
When my man's right by my side
Held me closely, so close I felt love inside
Its like paradise when he
He called me his favorite girl
And for sure he's my favorite boy
And I'll be there when he needs me to be like no other woman gives you joy cause I
I'll give him
Good love to you
Sweet love to you (sweet love)
There when you say (there when you say)

[Fantasia (talk):]
I mean i'm not gon' beg you
I see, i see you just ain't ain't actin right
It's ok

[Verse 1:]
Everytime i need someone to be there when i had me one of them crazy days (i ain't gon' beg you)
Everytime i want someone to treat like they always said they were gon' treat like (i ain't gon' beg you)

[Hook:]
Because i let you slide before
But i see you ain't gon' learn

Have you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
And tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
And the magic that surrounds you
Can lift you up and guide you on your way

[Chorus:]
I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize

Baby you don't pay no mind
You act like you don't love me no more
Maybe you need space or some time
Your attitude is unpredictable
And I don't want to make you unhappy
If you're not happy then you're free to go on
'Cause I don't want you stayin' around
If I make you so miserable
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
(If you don't want me then don't talk to me)

Ah Oh Ah Oh

[Verse 1]
Ran into an old friend yesterday
Caught me by surprise when he called my name
He was a familiar face, from a chapter in my past
Talked for a while, I smiled and then
Said that he was seeing somebody and
Told me this was gonna last
Showing me her photograph
[Hook]
And all the feelings I thought were gone
Came rushing back to me at once

[Verse 1]
Just when I thought found me
Someone I can go with just
When I thought I found me
Someone I can go with that's
When my girl friend came to
Me said she told me that nigga
Ain't nothing I seen him in the
Club acting like he wont no
Where around that's when I
Found out that you was nothing
For me another love that you
Said that you said that you had

For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out, I'm just a link in your chain
Oh, you got me where you want me
I ain't nothin but your fool
Ya treated me mean
Oh you treated me cruel

Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools)

Every chain, has got a weak link
I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength
Oh, babe
(Woo, woo, woo, woo)
