[Verse 1]
Rise up from the elite
They built it on the weak
Corrupt men on the screen
Selling fear like a dream
Corporations take the throat
Write the rules, then take the vote
Middle class on broken knees
Still we move, still we breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
So shake it off
Shake the cage
Take your name
Back from the page
One mind clear
One body true
One soul set
To break on through
[Chorus]
Free your mind, free your mind
Free your body, free your soul
Free your mind, free your mind
We won't play the role
Rise up now, rise up now
From the dust they made us swallow
Free your mind, free your mind
Let the whole world follow
[Verse 2]
Cash in suits with dirty hands
Lock the doors and draw the plans
Street by street and block by block
They count the minutes, buy the clock
But I see fire in your eyes
I hear truth when the crowd gets loud
No more kneeling, no more chains
No more feeding on our pain
[Pre-Chorus]
So shake it off
Shake the cage
Take your name
Back from the page
One mind clear
One body true
One soul set
To break on through
[Chorus]
Free your mind, free your mind
Free your body, free your soul
Free your mind, free your mind
We won't play the role
Rise up now, rise up now
From the dust they made us swallow
Free your mind, free your mind
Let the whole world follow
[Bridge]
When they say "stay small"
We say "watch us grow"
When they slam the gate
We learn where to go
Hands in the air
Feet on the ground
This is the sound
Of the lost being found
[Final Chorus]
Free your mind, free your mind
Free your body, free your soul
Free your mind, free your mind
We won't play the role
Rise up now, rise up now
From the dust they made us swallow
Free your mind, free your mind
Let the whole world follow
Free your mind, free your mind
Free your body, free your soul
Free your mind, free your mind
Let the whole world follow
