Freedom

Akon · Freedom [2008]

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 your G-O-D

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)
