He added, “Let’s be free from fear, free from darkness, free from whatever shackles that bind us.”
The Grammy award-winning artist dropped the new single and then teamed up with Atlanta charity Love Beyond Walls to install portable sinks throughout Atlanta for the homeless. The reason was to help slow the spread of the coronavirus among those in his city.
“When people living on the street don’t have the means ... we should step in to wash their hands.#Setmefree#corona,” he wrote on Instagram.
In “Set Me Free,” Lecrae raps: “Let me go (Let me go), let me go / I been goin' through so much I swear these people at my throat / That's on me, that's on mamas (That's on mamas)/On my mama, I can't take no more so miss me with that drama, get your commas Get your records straight, get your facts straight/Hold me down I rise up on 'em like the tax rate (I did) / Keep my path straight (Woah) / Never lack faith / God been workin', they gon' have to hold me back, man / Ayy, tell 'em (Tell 'em)”
YK Osiris sings, “Shackles on my feet, yeah, they won't let me be / Won't you set me free, break this hold on me/Break this hold on me.”
