[Hook]
They gave me the basics, I ripped the paper
Hey, who made you, the boss of me?
I won't do what you say, I got no limitations
My imagination's, my reality
Baby I just wanna wake up free, wake up free
Wake up free, wake up free, wake up free, wake up free
Wake up free, wake up free

[Verse 1]
Nah mama I don't care what the kids think
Always kept it a hundred and I did me
Forget it all, and define life simply
My own world, my own space, I go away
Where I don't gotta hear mom screaming, nah I don't gotta see pop leaving
Where I ain't gotta deal with lame teachers, talking down on me for the same reasons
Mister, Mister don't you tell me what to do
You might be bigger, bigger, but I got aspirations too
And when I open my open my eyes
I hope I'm free just like I was last night

[Hook]
They gave me the basics, I ripped the paper
Hey, who made you, the boss of me?
I won't do what you say, I got no limitations
My imagination's, my reality
Baby I just wanna wake up free, wake up free
Wake up free, wake up free, wake up free, wake up free
Wake up free, wake up free

[Verse 2]
Free from all he lies and deceit
All the broken promises they given to me
Real worlds taking on my energy
Put my life on mutual, and been asleep
yo I swear, these critics can't tell me nothing
Neither can the label suits with their fake love, flippers
They ask why I tell them I don't follow standards
And I smile for the camera, hit em' with the Ye [bad word] Hey, hey, mister, mister, don't you tell me what to do
Cause when I'm on, ya'll gone, wanna hop up on it too
And when the sun gone rise, I bet i'll still be where I was last night
I wanna go(!)

[Hook]
They gave me the basics, I ripped the paper
Hey, who made you, the boss of me?
I won't do what you say, I got no limitations
My imagination's, my reality
Baby I just wanna wake up free, wake up free
Wake up free, wake up free, wake up free, wake up free
Wake up free, wake up free

[Verse 3]
It's just where I wanna be
Gone from all a these demons haunting me
Where the sun arise in my eyes
The smile from the wonderful joy of see
Now won't [bad word] away with me, no matter what they say just be
Now won't [bad word] away with me, no matter what they say I'm me

[Hook]
They gave me the basics, I ripped the paper
Hey, who made you, the boss of me?
I won't do what you say, I got no limitations
My imagination's, my reality
Baby I just wanna wake up free, wake up free
Wake up free, wake up free, wake up free, wake up free
Wake up free, wake up free
