I'm taking my freedom, Pulling it off the shelf, Putting it on my chain, Wear it around my neck, I'm taking my freedom, Putting it in my car, Wherever I choose to go, It will take me far,
[Chorus] I'm livin' my life like it's golden Livin' my life like it's golden, [X3] Livin' my life like it's golden, golden, Livin' my life like it's golden, [X4] Livin' my life like it's golden, golden,
[Verse 2] I'm taking my own freedom Putting it in my song, Singing loud and strong, Grooving all day long, I'm taking my freedom, Putting it in my stroll, I'll be high-steppin' y'all, Letting the joy unfold,
[Chorus]
I'm holding on to my freedom, Can't take it from me, I was born into it, It comes naturally, I'm strumming my own freedom, Playing the god in me, Representing his glory, Hope he's proud of me,
[Chorus]
[Bridge] I'm living my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, [X2]
[Chorus]
[Jill Scott:] Livin' my life like it's golden, It really matters to me, Ohhh
