Aquarius Waive - Emancipation Lyrics




Finally signed my freedom papers
Over labor I'm done with slaving
This is my emancipation
This is my emancipation

I wanna be free
Set free where skies might be
Set sail where the skies touch sea
This is my emancipation
This is my emancipation
Emancipation

I've been waiting on freedom
Heard she's been waiting
And hoping we get to meeting
See I've been praying
Really I've been delaying
Knowing if I was serious
I'd be offa the land
But I've been used to these labor pains
It's so familiar
No unknowns in the guilt and shame
I know the ways of the bitter
Broken and pointing blame
Life as a victim
No where to go in this sinking sand
Swinging lowest
Sweet chariot
Ain't no Harriet here
The only Tubmans a man in water
Whose drowning in fear
Down in the dumps
For a string of months
Then it's back to the gear
Back to the way that is always was
Ain't no looking in mirrors

Finally signed my freedom papers
Over labor I'm done with slaving
This is my emancipation
This is my emancipation

I wanna be free
Set free where skies might be
Set sail where the skies touch sea
This is my emancipation
This is my emancipation
Emancipation

Trust me I've been patient
Always been the one inside
Plantations steady pacing
Always knew to run
I swear that freedom I could taste it
Went to praying on my knees
Got used to begging for the basics
See I forgot my value
When massa put a price onto yo head
He tryna sell you
You gotta be the weary
All the lies they try tell you
Swear they influence beliefs
Till you believing in their values
I'll never go for that
I see my past
I choose to grow from that
From cotton bleeding
To tropic seasons to show for that
From heavy breathing
To lighter breezes we free at last

Free at last
Free at last
Thank God almighty
We're free at last
Damn.
