🎵“Freedom Ain’t For Sale”🎵 🫶🏼 Lysten

Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken / half-rap] Yeah… you ever feel like your whole life’s on a leash? Like the people who claim to love you Keep holdin’ the collar just tight enough so you can breathe? [Verse 1] They say it’s love, but I see the control, They hand me cash but they’re buyin’ my soul. “Move back home, live fifteen away,” But I’m forty-one, not a child to play. They text, “We’re proud,” then flip in a day, Turn heaven to hell with a word they say. Offered me mansions, dreams on demand— “If you leave your man,” yeah, that’s the plan? Nah. I’m not tradin’ loyalty for your brand, I got my own scars, I’ll make my own stand. [Hook / Chorus] Freedom ain’t for sale, no matter the price tag, You can keep your strings and your guilt-wrapped handbag. You think you’re savin’ me—nah, you’re enslaving me, I’m done with the cycle, done with the make-believe. [Verse 2] Every favor’s a deal, every “help” is a rule, I play along, just a pawn in their school. They want me silent, smile for the show, Pretend I’m grateful while I’m losin’ control. You ever fake nice just to eat that night? Swallow your voice ‘cause they own the mic? They call it “care,” I call it fear, ‘Cause love don’t sound like “do this, my dear.” [Bridge – Spoken / emotional break] And I swear— I’m tired of the guilt trips dressed like hugs. Tired of bein’ treated like I owe them my lungs. I’m not a puppet, not a project, not your fix— I’m the storm you built when you pulled those strings. [Hook / Final Chorus] Freedom ain’t for sale, I’m breakin’ the chain, Rather live broke than live insane. No more contracts written in shame, You can keep your throne—I’ll keep my name. [Outro – whispered / raw] Yeah… You raised me to be strong, then feared what you made. So I’ll walk through the fire—but this time, it’s my flame.
