I didn't go there willingly
My fate would turn when I first saw the wall
Just like the sea would split in two
I knew that I could make it up and over
Cross the borders past the guards
Through the minds and empty yards I still
I can't loose what I don't have
So I keep my mind set on head on hat down
They gave me strict instructions that I never followed once
Somehow now my feets will know the way
And if they ever ask me to account for my escape
I trust my tongue will find the words to say

They gave me strict instructions that I never followed once
Somehow now my feets will know the way
And if they ever ask me to account for my escape
I trust my tongue will find the words to say
I can't spit it up or slow it down
The world will turn and I keep turning too
Grown old wise before me now 
My freedom calls me on head on hat down
Head on hat down
Head on hat down
Head on hat down
Head on hat down
Head on hat down
Head on hat down
Head on hat down
Head on hat down
Head on hat down
