free diddy - vanny goodfella lyrics

intro
harlem on my back, whole city in the breeze
they talkin’ like they know him, but they never seen the grief
seven kids missin’ daddy, mama prayin’ on her knees
if time already served count, then my brother should be free
free diddy…

hook
free diddy, free diddy, let the king walk free
harlem world still with him, whole uptown scream
if the jury cleared the major charges, why he still can’t leave
if the facts ain’t match the story, why they pushin’ that plea
free diddy, free diddy, let the man go breathе
he been sittin’ in that cell tryna bettеr his peace
good behavior, no priors, he been fightin’ for weeks
time served on the books — let the brother walk free

verse 1
bronx rumble in the concrete, city talk loud
but the courtroom quiet when the truth come out
acquitted on the trafficking, acquitted on the rackets
they said force, fraud, coercion — jury ain’t back it
so why they tryna twist the lesser charges like elastic
when the texts show consent, even if the love was tragic

he been locked for a year, tryna meditate the pain
readin’ books, doin’ programs, tryna re‑wire his brain
they say “rehabilitation” — well he did that in chains
so why they tryna double down and make him sit through the same
pre‑hook
he ain’t perfect, he a man, but he stood for the youth
saved the boys & girls club when the funding got loose
ran marathons for harlem, put his money in the roots
ain’t no criminal record — that’s documented truth

hook
free diddy, free diddy, let the king walk free
harlem world still with him, whole uptown scream
if the jury cleared the major charges, why he still can’t leave
if the facts ain’t match the story, why they pushin’ that plea
free diddy, free diddy, let the man go breathe
he been sittin’ in that cell tryna better his peace
good behavior, no priors, he been fightin’ for weeks
time served on the books — let the brother walk free

verse 2
judge talkin’ “subjugation,” prosecution want pain
but the law say weigh the character, the history, the name
weigh the father, weigh the son, weigh the man in the frame
not the headlines, not the rumors, not the cl!cks in the game

family hurtin’, kids stressin’, mama needin’ his care
mental health on the line — they say it right in the chair
if justice really balanced, then the scale ain’t fair
if he already paid the time, why he still in there
they bringin’ up the testimonies, trauma in the air
but acquittal means the jury didn’t find it all there
so the sentence should reflect what the verdict made clear
not the noise, not the pressure, not the public’s fear

bridge
harlem nights get cold when a legend locked away
but the city still prayin’ for a brighter day
if redemption is real, let him walk that way
if the time has been served, let him leave that cage

hook
free diddy, free diddy, let the king walk free
harlem world still with him, whole uptown scream
if the jury cleared the major charges, why he still can’t leave
if the facts ain’t match the story, why they pushin’ that plea
free diddy, free diddy, let the man go breathe
he been sittin’ in that cell tryna better his peace
good behavior, no priors, he been fightin’ for weeks
time served on the books — let the brother walk free

outro
from harlem to the bronx, from the block to the bench
we just askin’ for the sentence to reflect common sense
if the man already paid, why he still in the trench
free diddy… let the city exhale again
