FREE
Playing football with boys in the street
Before training bras and high heels on my feet
I was a tomboy when it was cool to be
A Carolina girl born wild and free
Free to play ball
Free to be lost
In the hood, in the woods
With my shoes off
Free to have friends
Free to say Amen
Free to be me
Chasing the white wind
Never was one to avoid sun
If I wasn’t a girl I’d be the favorite son
Fighting like a tiger punched him in the lips
Because that dude hit me on my hips
Hand over heart swearing to God
That one day I’ll be a super star
Settling into my humble destiny
Loving my life I’m born to be free
Free to play ball
Free to be lost
In the hood, in the woods
With my shoes off
Carolina Girl
Not yet 13
In a black and white world
Born to be free
