A Bigger Picture Called Free Lyrics - Common

Living in a glass bubble, the fast hustle 

The masked struggle that I'm in 

The same one that you in 

I knew inside when I was outside on the south side 

Had to take it a step further 

The way that Ralph tried 

Oh that's my stepfather 

He stressed harder to make that bed and lock them doors 

For the perfect picture, I forgot to pose 

Used to rock Jabos and go out with bros 

Tryna get lots of hoes till I got exposed 

To a bigger picture called free 

In the picture, it was me 

Al-Hajj Malik Shabazz, Muhammad, and Noble Drew Ali 

A side of Erykah Badu and Andre 3000 

Telling me what I can't be 

But you can't paint me 

Black is the color of my true love spirit 

And I do love lyrics 

And I used to love Harold's Chicken 

And I dance pretty good 

And I feel at home in the hood 

And I get lit in the club 

Still I love

If you look in my eyes, you'll see love deep inside 

When I look in the sky, I see freedom 

If you look in my eyes, you'll see love deep inside 

When I look in the sky, I see freedom 

If you hear this rhyme, it's coming from division 9 

The toughest in Cook County 

They count me out cause I did a crime 

They say it's violent time in human beings 

But being they ain't seeing me as human 

In this big business called prison, I'm the one that's consuming 

Illuminati illuminate me, fume and hate me 

Mutilate me from my family, society, and loved ones 

I wasn't raised to love guns, well maybe toy ones 

My pops, y'all built and destroyed him 

With prescriptions of poverty, dope, and unemployment 

When will we see enjoyment? 

I smile when my little boy get to visit for about 30 minutes 

But we ain't never spent Christmas together 

Tryna get it together 

What I'ma do when I get out? 

I don't know what it is to live out 

Just reminiscing of the big house 

I'm the one justice chose to spit out 

My life story is written in a prison sentence 

Wonder if this cell got room for forgiveness? 

Still I love

If you look in my eyes, you'll see love deep inside 

When I look in the sky, I see freedom 

If you look in my eyes, you'll see love deep inside 

When I look in the sky, I see freedom 

It's gonna be you and me 

When you're feeling free 

Make you feel alive 

What you got inside make you go outside 

The change in I 

Is the realest high 

It's the realest high 

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah 

It's gonna be you and me 

When you're feeling free 

Make you feel alive 

What you got inside make you go outside 

The change in I 

Is the realest high 

It's the realest high 

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah 

It's gonna be you and me 

When you're feeling free 

Make you feel alive 

What you got inside make you go outside 

The change in I 

Is the realest high 

It's the realest high 

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah 

It's gonna be you and me 

When you're feeling free 

Make you feel alive 

What you got inside make you go outside 

The change in I 

Is the realest high 

It's the realest high 

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah
