Akon - Freedom

Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes, fam, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free

From Senegal, West Africa
To St. Louis, Missouri
Thanks to Catherine and Donald
For giving my pops his glory
He came down with his drum
And a dream to change the world
In a free uplifting world
And that's all we ever want
Mom came a little after
Gave birth to my brother
And then all of the pressure
Made em' fight one and another
See, the pain would never left
Did the best with what they had
They knew the world was out for grabs
And they they searched to find their

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes, fam, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free
So I search to find my
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes, girl, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free, yeah

As a kid I never knew
That after so just to make it through
So I found myself skipping school
'Cause the girls don't think I'm cool
And because of that I didn't care
Whether or not I went to jail
I just wanna be treated fair
'Cause that's all I ever knew
Tellin' me I need to slow down
'Cause everybody in the whole town
'Cause they know how I get down
Far enough from another town
Can you believe we're still around?
After so many in the ground
And we ain't gon' stop now
Until we get that

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes fam you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free
Won't stop till I find my
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes, girl, you already know
I wanna be free (free), I wanna be free (free)

If you wanna be free, and the land is drug-free
Put your hands up (hey), put your hands up (hey)
If you wanna be free, from all your misery
Put your hands up (hey), put your hands up (hey)
If you wanna be free, with plenty money
Put your hands up (hey), put your hands up (hey)
If you wanna be free, just praise G-O-D
Put your hands up (hey), put your hands up (hey)

Freedom, freedom (freedom), freedom, freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes, girl, you already know
I wanna be free (wanna be free), I wanna be free (wanna be free) yeah
