lyrics:
free your mind and your ass will follow
{G Clinton, Eddie Hazel, Ray Davis}

free your mind and your ass will follow
the kingdom of heaven is within
(x3)
open up your funky mind and you can fly
free your mind and your ass will follow
the kingdom of heaven is within

FREEDOM IS FREE OF THE NEED TO BE FREE

free your mind and your ass will follow
the kingdom of heaven is within
(x4)
yeah

free your mind and your ass will follow (your ass will follow)
the kingdom of heaven is within
whoaaaaa!
freand your ass will follow (and your ass will follow)
i have never, never never
never in my life
Have this given to me

free your mind and your ass will follow
free your mind
not like you
you are as free as you want to be (your ass will follow)

well, I discovered that this life that was gettin' to me
is not really mine (free your mind and your ass will follow)
if it were mine, I would have fun all of the time
iI have to find a way
i have to find some way out
free your mind and your ass will follow (x2)

give it up, give it up (free your mind and your ass will follow)
give it up and give it to me, baby

i'm calling you love
love
... from my heart

free your mind and your ass will follow

wowww!
...

free your mind and your ass will follow (x2)
the kingdom of heaven is within
free your mind and your ass will follow (x3)

get it on!
free your mind and your ass will follow
the kingdom of heaven is within
free your mind and your ass will follow
the kingdom of heaven is within (x5)

the kingdom of heaven is within (free your mind!)
the kingdom of heaven is within (free your mind )
the kingdom of heaven is within (x6)

the kingdom of heaven is within (are you satisfied?)
(x4)
the kingdom of heaven is within
(i wanna know! free your mind and your ass will follow)
the kingdom of heaven is within (i really care)
the kingdom of heaven is within (x2)

the kingdom of heaven is within
i'm so confused about it all (x2)
i'm so confused about the whole thing
i don't understand
i don't understand nothin'
i don't know what I feel
i can't feel me, i can't live me, i can't be me
my mind, it does not belong to me
i'm so confused (x2)
ian't hear myself
i can't hear myself calling for help
i can't free my mind
so my ass can't follow
someone help me
i got to get help
here's my arm
help me escape
i don't want to (x3)
i can't free my mind
no, no, no
they won't free me
i can't run
i can't get out
i can't free my mind (x3)
i'm so mixed up
so mixed up
what time is it? (x3)

i can't hear me (x2)
free your mind and your ass will follow
i can't
free your mind and your ass will follow
the kingdom of heaven is within (x4)
free your mind and your ass will follow

This tune is boss! It doesn't matter about religion, lets just enjoy this tune without anyone getting sand in their vagina.

I remember this song. Interesting thing in Cleveland at this time was that every Saturday at exactly 11:59pm they would always play Maggot Brain on WMMS FM. But i remember this song. This is a truth.

@idkzero headphones hahahaha

[annarboriter]

This tune belongs on the soundtrack of every revolution

[hotsauce1963]

You can listen for years and still miss a lot of the message in it!

[drstankenstein81]

@hotsauce1963 You're right. I was playing this today and I'm still tryin' to dig through it. Waaaayyyy in the deep end!

@MadHatterRecordings Figure it out yourself, doesn't sound too hard. There's no way somebody wrote tabs for this song, and if you just look up tabs all the time you'll never learn how to use your own ears.

[hotsauce1963]

this is to deep for alot of these people that left comments.

[hotsauce1963]

my brother gibby trowery turned me on to this back in the day, my Big bro. he was ahead of his time he was in his early teens. thanks big brother

[MadHatterRecordings]

Anyone know the tabs for that bluesy guitar that comes to the front of the mix at about 3:05 and just keeps going till 4:05? Much appreciated.
