Feeling Free (Live Rap) Lyrics

Well, hello let's start back again
On the same plane, in the same pane
But I'm movin', movin' in a new direction
A new section with a selection of rhymes

Hot to make you unwind
This is time to just feel fine
Well, ain't that the way it's supposed to be?
Are you feeling free?

And it goes
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you

Well, feeling free, release your inhibitions
Go forth, achieve your ambitions
Your goals, your aims, whatever you claim to be yours
If that's the nature of this game

The game is life and life's so hard
Even more if you get down with the wrong card
Well, play to win, don't give in
'Cause seriously, I'll tell you something

It ain't no joke 'cause if you can't cope
And your whole life's going up in smoke
Or you're feeling down
Lost and rejected

And all you want to be is respected
By society and the community
Because ain't that the way it's supposed to be
I mean feeling free

And it goes
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you

Well, this society is sayin' what you can and can't do
But in my mind as I say is that true?
Like the man that they said is unemployable
How could he ever live a life enjoyable?

When he faked the feelings of no use
After all take the abuse and shame recall the promenade
How could he ever be in the right frame of mind?
When his life is unkind

Nobody wants to take the time to say
Listen there's another way
You don't have to live your life in this downtrodden way
Maybe your job isn't the answer

But take a look up
And take a glance at the alternatives
And what it has to give and put that in the way
That you wanna live your life, yeah

Do what you wanna do
Really what you wanna do
Whatever comes to you naturally
I mean feeling free

And it goes
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you

Yo, so if you ever havin' a problem
Don't run and hide, come out and face it head on
Because you're strong enough to win
And go on to pass through the test that life has to offer

And beat it with ease and be on top of the cloud
All the while and when you finished that
Emerge with a smile upon your face and that way
We'll have a happy face and funky face for a loving race
And that's being free and you all know how it goes

It goes
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you

Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you

Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you

Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you
Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you

Tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you, tu, are you

Soul II Soul is a two-time Grammy winning act that emerged at the end of the 1980s from London. The group initially attracted attention as a sound system, playing records at house and street parties (where their clothing style - dubbed "Funki Dred" - quickly made a splash, inspiring them to start a line of clothing). Founded by Jazzie B and featuring a changing roster of other musicians - notably Nellee Hooper, Simon Law, Phillip 'Daddae' Harvey and Caron Wheeler - Soul II Soul's experiments in music-making of their own resulted in the dub plate "Fairplay," which secured them a deal with Virgin Records. They had huge hits in 1989 with the singles "Keep on Movin'" and "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)," both from their debut album Club Classics Vol. I. These songs (both featuring Wheeler on vocals) set the tone for early 90s mainstream dance music in the UK.

Their follow-up album, Vol. II: 1990 - A New Decade, yielded the hits "Get a Life" and "A Dream's a Dream," the latter featuring operatic vocals by Victoria Wilson-James. While their U.S. following declined somewhat following its release, Soul II Soul continued to have hits in the UK, including 1992's #4 single, "Joy."

Soul II Soul reached Volume 5 of their series for Virgin in 1995, then released 2 more albums for Island Records. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
