Freedom - Akon

Everything I have, everything I own 

All my mistakes man you already know 

I wanna be free, I wanna be free (Konvict) 

From Senegal West Africa, 

To St. Louis, Missouri 

Thanks to Catherine Dana 

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, (Oh) 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 (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 thats all I ever knew 

Tellin' 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, (ooohh) Freedom, (oohhh) Freedom, (oh) Freedom 

Everything I have, (have) everything I own, (own) 

All my mistakes man you already know (yea) 

I wanna be free, (free) I wanna be free (free) 

won't stop till I find 

my freedom, my Freedom, (Freedom) my Freedom, (Freedom) (oh) Freedom 

Everything I have, everything I own 

All my mistakes girl, you already know 

I wanna be free, I wanna be free, yeah 

If you wanna be free, and the land is drug-free 

put your hands up, (ay) put your hands up (ay) 

If you wanna be free, from all your misery 

put your hands up, (ay) put your hands up 

If you wanna be free, with plenty money (ay) 

put your hands up, put your hands up 

If you wanna be free, just praise G-O-D put your hands (ay) up, put your hands up (ay) 

Freedom, (ohh) Freedom (Freedom), Freedom, (ooh) Freedom 

Everything I have, everything I own 

All my mistakes girl you already know
