Lyrics:

Long time ago, long time ago
From the country to the town
From the soul to the crowd, woo, woo, oh, oh, oh
From the country to the town
From the soul to the crowd, woo, woo

(I've just got to be free)
Set me, let me free, I'm locked up in the beat
The poetry, the flow-etry? I'm locked up in the beat
With the microphone I'm in the zone, I'm locked up in the beat
Expression, that's the key, I'm locked up in the beat
(I've just got to be free)

Come set me, let me free, I'm locked up in the beat
(Ra)
The poetry, the flow-etry? I'm locked up in the beat
When Million Dan gets into the zone, I'm locked up in the beat
Expression, that's the key, I'm locked up in the beat

I and I must be free, that's what I see as my destiny
Love is what will set me free, make us friends from our enemies
So I and I just let things be, forgive me for what I've done to thee
Is forgiving what you've done to me

Come set me, let me free, I'm locked up in the beat
The poetry, the flow-etry? I'm locked up in the beat
With the microphone I'm in the zone, I'm locked up in the beat
Expression, thats the key, I'm locked up in the beat
(I've just got to be free)

Come set me, let me free, I'm locked up in the beat
(Ra)
The poetry, the flow-etry? I'm locked up in the beat
When Million Dan gets into the zone, I'm locked up in the beat
Expression, thats the key, I'm locked up in the beat

Long time ago, long time ago, long time ago
(I've just got to be free, I've just got to be free)

I and I must be free, that's what I see as my destiny
Love is what will set me free, make us friends from our enemies
So I and I just let things be, forgive me for what I've done to thee
Is forgiving what you've done to me
