Free - Funky DL, Cicero

Yeah-eah, umm-umm, yeah-eah

Yeah, yeah — yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh

Chorus (Cicero)

Playing in the park, video games, staying up after dark

Family over, house parties

School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»

Chillin' at home playing old CD’s, video games, colourful magazines

Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free

Verse One (Funky DL)

Trading Panini sticker books was Thug Life

Nico Claesen was like the hardest to find

Adidas Gazelles for some were the hardest to buy

1985, Thriller was out, I’m watching Michael as a Zombie

The Huxtables was Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad

With five kids, money in the bank, this a facade?

Immersed in the breakin' culture

It’s like Turbo had us spinning on our backs

Our heads to hand-claps, Ozone

School uniform was fresh on my first day

My favourite television show’s every Thursday'

Fist fights in many places and one we named Las Vegas

Around this time Tyson was the greatest

The Jungle Brothers on my playlist

Headphones with red foam and cassettes tapes you had to turnover

It was a time that slowly disappeared

Looking back on these years like another lifetime

Cos before I’d write rhymes I was…

Chorus (Cicero)

Playing in the park, video games, staying up after dark

Family over, house parties

School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»

Chillin' at home playing old CD’s, video games, colourful magazines

Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free

Verse Two (Funky DL)

On the flip-side, we older now

Obligations, responsibilities and paying tax is trying to hold us down

For some of us it’s too much, I seen friends locked up

Struggling with drugs and get shot

Lose they kids to the system, from care homes to prison

Could be a lack of wisdom, a lack of recognition

A lack of supervision, a lack of discipline

A lack of one parent as a participant

I’m listening to people making facts out opinions

And nothing supersedes making money for dominion

They want millions and millionaires want billions

And everybody’s on the Gram with their brilliance

Like «look at me, don’t I look good?

Here’s another picture of me that I took good

And see the number in the corner increase, that mean they like me»

And all this reminds me is that it’s unlikely that one day I might be…

Chorus (Cicero)

Playing in the park, (yeah), video games, staying up after dark

(ooh-ooh), family over, house parties

School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»

(yeah-eah), chillin' at home playing old CD’s

(yeah-yeah), video games, colourful magazines

Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free

Yo', can we take it back to?

Playing in the park, (yeah), video games, staying up after dark

Family over, house parties

School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»

Chillin' at home playing old CD’s, video games, colourful magazines

Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free

Outro (Cicero)

Playing in the park… chillin' at home…

Video games… old CD’s… feeling so free
