Native Harrow - Used to Be Free

The night comes quickly and I lose my way
Daylight slipping, will I still feel proud?
I wake up hungry and I go to bed poor
But I won't trade nothing, cause the rich man's bored

Learned my lessons, didn't take my time
I skipped over freedom never crossed my mind
Never crossed my mind
Never crossed my mind

Now I watch the others pick up pace
Keep an eye on the shadow, it owns the race
I saw a young man playing harp in the street
A song for a penny or a place to eat
And it reminded me

I used to be Free

The pressure is heady, which way is up?
Can I still stand tall, will I just give up?
I feel the eyes on me, tight in my throat
I sing like I'm dyin' and I swallow the notes

I spaced out the ending, did it go how we planned?
I forgot freedom never crossed my mind
Never crossed my mind
Never crossed my mind
And it reminded me

I used to be Free

Day is breaking, I hear it come
Leave it all behind me, gonna sing my song
