Title: Let Me Be Free
(Bridge)
Is it me that you want is it really me,
take control of my mind, but let me be free.
Is it me that you want is it really me.
take control of my heart, but let me be free.
(chorus)
But let me be free (2x)
(Sub chorus)
But let me be free, yeah (2x)
Many things in life are for free,but your love is what I really need.
Even thoug it's like joy and pain, I say the same with no shame
Don't try to change my way .Love me as I am,that's the plan.
Is it me so get to the point and let me be free.
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
I need to know right now,
or let me be free but I don't know how
to satisfy and I won't lie,
It hurts my heart when I make you cry.
Positive I am I want to be your man
but you can't understand
Is it me so get to the point or let me be free.
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(Sub chorus)
What you want me to be.
I can't be 'cause it's got to be me.
Live my life like I always do,
live in my own world but I need you.
And only you but you're so complex,
think about it know and pass the test.
Is it me so get to the point or let me be free.

Title: Caged Bird
Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and rivalry
They din't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to thers
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty

Title: County Jail
(Verse 1 -Squeak Ru)
In the county jail I'm straight catchin hell
Facin strikin 3, goin crazy in my jail cell
Goddamn, I'm thinkin thru
They tryna hit me 25 for some shit that I didn't do
Servin time is my punishment
So I'm commin wit [them all ?], tryna prove that I'm innocent
Fuck the public defender, he ain't down wit me
So I know I can't surrender
They rather drive me [well ?]
Not cases I'm facin while I sit in trial
And criminal defision, is Squeak Ru convicted that's the decision
The I heard the slam a [???] for
Now I'm back to the [holding tank ?], mad cuz I'm careful
This ain't no fairytale, you see life ain't shit in the county jail
Chorus:
Sittin in the county, [doesn't ?] like a party
Sittin in the county, [doesn't ?] like a party
Sittin in the county, [doesn't ?] like a party
Sittin in the county, you know everybody
(Verse 2 -Squeak Ru)
Loadin up on the bus
Gots watch my back cuz I don't wanna get rushed
I got one hand free, I'm lookin for the comrads
But all I see is enemies
I don't make sense, they got me cuffed to a muthafucker that I gang-bang against
Ey, nigga, where you from?
Soon as the gates wreck, you know I'm takin one
Lay ya flat on ya back, you don't wanna scrap
In fact, I'm perfect at combat
Now I'm lead as a bitch
Got a 90-500 and they gave me fish kit
And you best believe this: the brothers is strong
But the S-A's the deepest
This shit is hardco'
Crips and Bloods throwin up their set in them [???]
Wit the classification
OSS wanna know my gang affiliation
But that shit's expected, ey, nigga, ain't you connected?
You goddamn right cuz in the county jail
Only hards die for their stripes
Chorus
(Verse 3 -Squeak Ru)
I got a visit but it's drama
My girl and a hoe are fightin wit my baby momma
Now time to explain who I love the most
I gotta catch the chain
Quick to check a trustee
Cuz some of them fools be tryna playin deputy
Nigga, you'se a hook
I'm rollin wit them crooks
And we don't like your flat books
I'm tired to bein a victim
It seems everytime I look I'm gettin punked by the system
It's hard bein a black men
So niggas wake up, you gotta have a [???]
Cuz they stretch you out
No matter if you're coppin in the West or servin in the south
It's a livin hell
You see, life ain't shit, so fuck the county jail
