Jimi Hendrix - FreedomCopyright - Reprise Records"Freedom" is a Jimi Hendrix song released in 1971 from the album The Cry of Love. The album, released after his death, was released in 1971 and became a major hit. This was the only single released from the album and was somewhat successful on the charts. It is now one of the more popular songs in the Hendrix collection, and is a staple in many compilation works. It was later featured on the 1998 album First Rays of the New Rising Sun.The lyrics "Keep on pushing straight ahead..." towards the end of the song are most likely a reference to the Curtis Mayfield song "Keep On Pushing" from the album of the same name. Mayfield was a major influence on Hendrix, from whom borrowed much of his R&B rhythm guitar style, as heard on recordings such as "Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)" and "Little Wing".Lyrics:You got my pridehanging out of my bedYou're messin' around with my lifeSo I bought my ...You even mess with my childrenAnd you're screamin' at my wife, babyGet off my back,if you wanna get outta here alifeFreedom, give it to meThat's what I want nowFreedom, that's what I need nowFreedom to liveFreedom, so I can giveYou got my heartspeak electric waterYou got my soulscreamin' and howlin'You know you hook my girlfriendYou know the drug¨store manBut I don't need it nowI was trying to slap it out of her headFreedom, so I can giveFreedom, yeahFreedom, that's what I needYou don't have to say that you loveif you don't mean itYou'd better believeIf you need meor you just wanna bleed meyou'd better stickin' your dagger in someone elseSo I can leaveSet me free(Yeah)Right on, straight aheadStay up and straight aheadFreedom
