take away the shackles then what do we become?
break the chains then what does it signify?
to be free is it really just a state of mind?
or being suppressed physically?  
to walk the green grasses again
to run and play in the rain
a single step we take can be a measure
of how we own our freedom
who owns it?
that's the million dollar question.

mamba for life
u inspire a generation
your greatness transcended expectations
gone to soon our hearts broken
questions many questions
you change the world
you change my world
mamba mentality for ever
rest easy baller brother

maybe someday we'll fly
maybe somehow we all learn to see eye to eye
maybe somewhere dreams do really come true
maybe someone can really take away all the blue

maybe someday there's no pain
maybe somehow we all are  free from our burdens
maybe somewhere there is paradise
and maybe.....
just maybe  the sounds will we hear are nothing but joyous cries

i feel you on my skin
each droplets unfolds another piece of your continuing puzzle
give hope to many when you come
wreak havoc to others when you're done
breath life into the world you nurture the seeds
quench all the  thirst a new life you breed.
