RICKY

Declan Davies 12yrs old - Fresh new me

Free! (single) is the first release from Free Black! forthcoming second album in 2020

Free as the color of my skin its love to all my people 
Free as the feeling and ability to drop the ego 
Free as the life you live when time is something less than we hold 
Free as the limits and how far we can go 
I aint a freedom fighter I'm just seeking brighter days 
Just hope you heed these bars and catch yourself a lighter case 
I aint never been cider based or easily swayed 
Somewhere between Sway not having the answers for Kanye 
Mixed with Benny & Conway 
Quick to address your character like cosplay 
Swear so many people out here searching for prom dates 
But won't pom pom for they own sake 
We're here to make the people feel 
Higher than Brittany Newsome on a flagpole 
Expose America's contents of its bathrobe 
From tadpole to adolescent to assholes 
Depression rabbit holes looking for reasons to get 
Like a drone above my enemies homes we get 
Was never sly around my family stone I can't lie 
Say hi to the neighbors I gotta see the world 
In every city they gon need an FT referral 
HR on the pearls so get aware 
You asking if I'm free and I said 
Free as the color of my skin its love to all my people 
Free as the feeling and ability to drop the ego 
Free as the life you live when time is something less than we hold 
Free as the limits and how far we can go now get em

Free!

Lyrics:
"I already tried to fight
Well now there's a reason
You've got this unnatural obsession
With always pleasing me
And I don't see it
If you're really defeated
Why did you come here?
I want to know

Did you get too far?

Within
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
I come for you
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
I'm from within
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
Believe this

I don't fear
I just bite
I don't know nothing else
Everything goes white
Any obstruction
Means I've finally failed
To face it
If you've complained 
Well I've embraced it
The rage I
Feel encaged within
My station

Where does it go?
When everybody knows your name?
Where do you go, go?
Where does it go?
When everybody tastes the same?
Where does it go?
Where does it go?
Where do you go?

It goes within
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
I run from you
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
And go within
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
I run from you

I run from you
I run from you
It comes from you
You
You

Don't you deceived them
You can receive that
It's a natural feeling
Something to believe in
Can you feel this?
Do you really need a reason?
Connection to the feelings
Do you see?

Where does it go?
Where does it go?

It goes within!
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
I run from you
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
And go within
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
There's no escaping it this time
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
When all that matters is what you've learned now
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
When everybody knows your fake
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
Well it's already too late
(Oooh aye aye aye aye aye aye )
To go within"

Within

Lyrics:
"It's thirty minutes till five
You've got places to be by light and
These are our deeper nights
I cut through your weight
We pull off your fright

Baby ooh ooh
You only have eyes for me
But my eyes have more to see
You ask me if I want to leave
But what's there to leave if you let me be free?

If you hold my hand we can go alone 
If you hold my hand we can go go
If you hold my hand we can go alone
If you hold my hand

WAIT!
Don't leave just
Don't leave just 
Wait"

Wait

Lyrics:
"If you do 
I will

C'mon girl

If you do I will
If you say it's true 
It's real
It's only a bruise 
I'll heal 
Don't you love me too
Then deal
She tells me to wait
I'm still
She wants me to take
I'm stealin'
I see that hole in you
I'll fill it
If you want it
I will will it
I will

Don't take me back there
I haven't packed yet 
I don't react well
Look at my baggage
How do I manage huh?
Then again it was never just you
Guess it really just takes two
Cyclical abuse
Blindly trusting in you
Slightly buzzin' off fumes
Young views

Dazed and confused
Convinced I really deserved to lose
See my worth in my use
Way too focused on keeping my cool
Looking through
Surgical insanity
I see you online
Searching for the man in me
Keeping me less than
I learned my lessons
From my head, shoulders, knees, and toes
And the back of a strong hand

Let down my guard
Now I got this empty feeling
Hit me so hard 
I almost broke through the ceiling
We've come so far
I think it's time we start the healing
I played my part
Now I am no longer willing
Feel this

If you do I will
If you say it's true 
It's real
It's only a bruise 
I'll heal 
Don't you love me too
Then deal

I will
I will
I will
I will
I really really will
Yeah yeah 

She tells me to wait
I'm still
She wants me to take
I'm stealin'
I see that hole in you
I'll fill it
If you want it
I will will it

Fix your face
Picking up for your mistakes
Moving from place to place
Too many hopeless days
Nights of rage
Too many
Invisible cages
Invincible chains in
The tears that stained my mother's face
From how fast we drove away

It's almost simple really
I always wanted what you gave to me
It's a bittersweet feeling
To know my pain brought ease

Keep me
Right where you can see
Lately, I've been trying to be good to-
Keep me right where you can see
Lately, I've been good to me

If you do I will
If you say it's true 
It's real
It's only a bruise 
I'll heal 
Don't you love me too
Then deal
I will"
