Free Myself

[Ashra and encore]
Here in the cage I was made
Here in the cage I was molded
Here in the cage I was told I was safe
I was told I was better blindfolded
Better to hide from pain, from sin
Better to hide the pain within
Better to cry when no one's listening (no one's listening)
Love is shown in discipline

[Ashra and encore]
Here in the cage I was beat
Here in the cage I was broken (broken)
Here in the cage I was taught
How to be blind when the doors are wide open (open)
Here in the cage I was burnt and blamed
Here in the cage are the matches
Used to set ashra aflame
To give her a names of ashes

[Ashra and encore]
But I will not be locked in (ooh)
And I will keep on knocking (ooh)
And if you refuse to free me (ooh-ooh)
I'll free myself
I'll break free and I'll free (free) myself

[Ashra and encore]
Caged isn't how I see myself (ah, ah, ah, ah)
So, I'm just gonna be myself and (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Free myself
I am gonna be free

[Ashra and encore]
Leaving the rest of my life (ooh)
Learning that I am empowered (ooh!)
Leaving the wrong and the right (ooh)
Leaving the faith of a coward (coward, coward)
Leaving the cage and pain behind
I broke the lock, I hope that's fine
Cause you have broke so much of mine
My whole life, whole life

[Ashra and encore]
So I will not be locked in (ooh)
I even give up knocking (ooh)
Because you refuse to free me (ooh-ooh)
I freed myself
I broke free, yes, I freed (free) myself

[Ashra and encore]
Caged isn't how I see myself (ah, ah, ah, ah)
So, I'm just gonna be myself and (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Free myself
I am gonna be free

[Ashra and encore]
Forgetting my faith (ah)
No thinking of Aacro (ah)
This man in the distance, my only religion
His image, my reason of faith, so (ah)
Hoping this weight goes (ah)
Hoping my wings grow (ah)
Since no one would help me
I'm setting myself free
I am gonna be

[Jesus]
Come to me

[Ashra]
Yahweh

[Jesus]
Come to me
Come to me

[Ashra]
No

[Ashra]
I would rather be free
