Freedom (Album Version) Lyrics

Freedom (Album Version) - Akon

...

Everything I have, everything I own

All my mistakes man, you already know

I wanna be free, I wanna be free

From Senegal, West Africa

To St. Louis, Missouri

Thanks to Katherine Dunham

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 he ever want

Mom came a little after

Gave birth to my brother

Then all of the pressure

Made 'em fight one another

See the pain would never last

Did the best with what they had

He knew the world was out for grabs

And he searched to find his

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

As a kid I never knew

I'd have to hustle 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

Telling me I need to slow down

Cause everybody in the whole town

Cause they know how I get down

Foreigner from another town

Can you believe we still around?

After so many hit 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 man, you already know

I wanna be free, I wanna be free

Won't stop 'til I 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

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 G.O.D

Put your hands up, put your hands up

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, yea (echo...)
