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 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, (Oh)Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man, you already know

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 dont think i'm cool
And because of that I did'nt care
Wether 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
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,(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)


If you wanna be free, and the land is drug-free
put your hands up, (ay)put your hans up (ay)
If you wanna be free, from all your misery
put your hands up, (ay) put your hans up
If you wanna be free, with plenty money (ay) 
put your hands up, put your hans up
If you wanna be free, just prace G-O-D put your hands (ay)up, put your hans up (ay)


Freedom, (ohh)Freedom(Freedom), Freedom, (ooh)Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes girl you already know
