What she had she lost at seventeen,
When she took a ride in a black limousine
The man in the back, well he showed her his teeth
I’m a friend of your mom’s you can trust me

He said he was a preacher got her down on her knees
Then he took all she had, through her sobs and her pleas
He drug her downstairs, he locked doors with keys
Say goodbye to your life you belong to me

So don’t let nobody tell you no
You got to loosen that noose, you ain’t swinging alone
And don’t let nobody tell you what’s so
It’s just a part of your past, it ain’t a part of your soul
Now go, go on be free
Now go, come on and rescue me
Now go, go on be free

The day turned to night and the night turned to day
And then 300 hundred more the years just slipped away
He took all her soul and he took all her need
But he didn’t take her spiritq that was hers you see

He looked at her once, I don’t like what I see
Not a baby from you, that not happening to me
He swung with his might to her gut as she screamed
But she kept one herself, her babies love was her key

Oh, freedom today
She saw the daylight and she smelt all the days
She looked at the light, she crawled on her knees
She stuck her hand to the sun, she said help me

He looked across, a little disbelief
He put his sandwich down, and he rushed to the scene
She put out her arms she hugged with all might
There’s two more in there, you can give us our lives

Yeah, am I safe, I take a deep breath and I know I’m okay
I smile at the man, I’m pleading my case
Don’t you lay that phone down
We need help here today

I said 911, he’s been taking me out
I fought for my life, can you please help me out
I said who I am, I shouted it out
I can hear the sirens coming, there’s two more in the house

And don’t let nobody tell you no
You got to loosen that noose, you ain’t swinging alone
And don’t let nobody tell you it’s so
It’s just a part of your past, it ain’t a part of your soul

Now go, go on I’m free
Now go, you see I rescued me
Now go, go on go on be free, yeah, yeah…

Go, go, go on be free
Go, go, you see that I rescued me
Now go, go on be free,
Now go, go on be free,
Just go, go on your free
