Freedom  lyrics

————————————————————————

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 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, 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

 

As a kid I never knew

I'd have to hustle just to make it through

So I found myself skipping school

'Cause the girl don't think I'm cool

 

And because of that I didn't care

weather 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 ground

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 till 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
