A few weeks ago, I saw a trailer for the movie District 9. I LOVED IT. The imagery, the story line, all of it. So much so, I was inspired to write a song about it. I wrote the song and put it to some footage I found on the internet from the movie and put the “Freedom” trailer on Youtube and Facebook. It apparently struck a nerve with some folks and people have emailed me and left comments asking for more information about the song and where they could get it. I didn’t want to charge for it, so I spoke to the producer (Big Zik @bigzik) and he agreed to allow me to give it away on my site for free. So with that said, here is the trailer and a link to download the song. Enjoy. Feel free to leave feedback.

Verse 1

I’m a warrior it’s in my veins
That’s one part of me that they can not change/
No matter how much they try to wash my brain
You can look in my eyes and you see that pain/
And I won’t let go of it, I’m full of it
Cause I got a plan and I know what to do with it/
Its restore those days of glory
and resurrect those that came before me/
And fought till the end, but didn’t win
But where yours ends that where mine begins/
Your my light when it gets dark
And you’re my soul when I have no heart/
I’m like Malcolm and Martin mixed with a spartan
A little bit of Che and a military marksman/
You’re the reason that I dream
And when I’m at war, you’re why I scream/ (for)

Chorus

Freedom
We fighting for our
Freedom
Can’t live like this no more
They make us got to war
We fighting for our
Freedom
Can’t live without my
Freedom
Can’t live like this no more
You make us go to war
We fighting for our
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

Verse 2

F to the R to the E and E
Just a little bit is what we want for we/
Away from all your lies and your tyranny
All your nonsense and your blasphemy/
But your telling me that this the way it has to be
But I’ve seen the light, so how can that be/
I’ve seen much more right at the horizon
So I got my army and I mobilized them/
A journey into war is where we will go
And if it takes our life, deep inside we know/
That the truth is the truth and we’d rather die
Then just to sit back and to compromise/ (We want)

Chorus

Freedom
We fighting for our
Freedom
Can’t live like this no more
They make us got to war
We fighting for our
Freedom
Can’t live without my
Freedom
Can’t live like this no more
You make us go to war
We fighting for our
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
