Akon Lyrics on
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 ….

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