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

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

All my mistakes girl, you already know

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

Akon Lyrics on www.lyrics-celebrities.anekatips.com

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

Wether 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 ..

Freedom (Ooooh) Freedom,(oOOoh) Freedom, (Ooooh) Freedom

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

All my mistakes man you already know yeahh

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

Won’t stop til’ I find my ..

Freedom (My Freedom!!) Freedom (My Freedom!!), Freedom Ouuuh Freedom

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

All my mistakes girl you already know yeaaah

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

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

Put your hands up (hey) put your hands up (hey)

If you wanna be free, from all your misery

put your hands up (hey) put your hands up (hey)

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

put your hands up, put your hands up

If you wanna be free, just praise to your ….

put your hands (hey) up, put your hands up (hey)

Freedom (Ooooh) Freedom, (Freedom) Freedom, (Ooooh) 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 yea)
