Akon - Freedom

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 upliftin world
And thats 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

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
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 still around
After so many hit the ground
And we ain’t gon stop now
.. Until we get that
