Story Behind The Song
A COUPLE OF SUBJECTS PISSED ME OFF AND I WROTE ABOUT THEM. ONE WAS THE SYSTEM IN PLACE TO PLACE US ALL IN DEBT FOR LIFE AT LEAST THE LESS FORTUNATE AND THE OTHE WAS THE HIPPOCRACY OF THE DRUG WAR, WHEN EVERY DAY WE ARE FORCED TO WATCH COMMERCIALS ABOUT MAN MADE DRUGS ON TELEVISION EVERYDAY. AND THE LAST WAS A CALL OF EMOTION THAT IS SELDOM HEARD. THE ONE OF REASON OVER THIS BULLSHIT SOCIETY.

Lyrics
Like Daggers To The Brain
Lyrics by José Suaste
This version written on 11/26/03
This be my last rhyme to freedom
Finally hands untied, I?m trying to reach for the sky
Instead of just getting by
Cause too many cried, watched dreams collide
With the bright green machine named American dream
That sings lullaby?s till we forget who we are
Till we become Mr. Visa, Mrs. MasterCard
I backtrack trying to scope how we got this far
Such a slave to my house, my clothes, my car
This be my last rhyme to freedom
And on the tele on the daily steady seeking permission
Trying to sell me prescriptions I?m in a ready position to make a heavy decision
This pharmaceutical sail entails, happiness unveiled
Gotcha believing you?ve failed, unless you got the pill to make you feel you?re out of a cell
What makes them different from the brothas on the corner who sell
A time slot on your tube or wholesale retail
This be my last rhyme to freedom (X2)
Bridge
f-r-e-e-d-o-m
right now
This be my last rhyme to freedom (X4)
With this last rhyme to freedom, release thoughts and feed them
To the lost souls who need them, let false roads mislead them
With this last rhyme to freedom ignite flames in mass
So they can cop hallway passes, escape fascist classes
With this last rhyme to freedom I bring forth the rage
Of a child forced to age, by street wars that raged
With this last rhyme to freedom unfold swells of passion
And fill where lies a fraction, talking love retroaction
With this last rhyme to freedom, release a poetry of peace
To decimate the beasts that hate released upon our streets
With this last rhyme to freedom, stir emotions held passive
From miniscule to massive, from apathetic to combative
With this last rhyme to freedom I bare my soul to my peer
Reveal my strength faults and fear, love, laughter tears
With this last rhyme to freedom
With this last rhyme to freedom
With this last rhyme to freedom
