Akon – Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free
[Verse 1]:
From Senegal West Africa,
To St. Louis, Missouri
Thanks to Catherine and Donna
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 thats all we ever want
Mom
Came a little after
Gave birth to my brother
And then all of the pressure
Made em’ fight one another
See, the pain would never left
Did the best with what they had
They knew the world was up for grabs
And they they searched to find their
[Chorus]:
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man, 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
[Verse 2]:
As a kid I never knew
That after this that we would make it through
So I found myself skipping school
Cause the girls gonna 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?
Have my soul baby in the ground
And we ain’t gonna stop that
Until we get that
[Chorus]:
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man, 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
[Bridge]:
If you wanna be free, and the land is drug-free
put your hands up, put your hands up
If you wanna be free, from all your misery
put your hands up, put your hands up
If you wanna be free, with plenty money
put your hands up, put your hands up
If you wanna be free, just praise to your ?–?
put your hands up, put your hands up
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)
