Everything I have
Everything I own
All my mistakes, man, you already know
I wanna be free (x2)
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 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 (x4)
Everything I have
Everything I own
All my mistakes, fam, you already know
I wanna be free (x2)
So, I searched to find my
Freedom (x4)
Everything I have
Everything I own
All my mistakes, girl, you already know
I wanna be free (x2)
Yeah
As a kid, I never knew
I'd have to hustle just to make it through
So I found myself skippin' 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 want to be treated fair
Because 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 down
Far enough from another town
Can you believe we still around
After so many hit the ground
And we ain't gonna stop now until we get that
Freedom (x4)
Everything I have
Everything I own
All my mistakes, fam, you already know
I wanna be free (x2)
Won't stop 'till I find my
Freedom
My freedom
Freedom
My freedom
Freedom (x2)
Everything I have
Everything I own
All my mistakes, girl, you already know
I wanna be free (x2)
If you wanna be free and the land is drug-free
Put your hands up (Hey!) (x2)
If you wanna be free from all your misery
Put your hands up (Hey!) (x2)
If you wanna be free with plenty money
Put your hands up (Hey!) (x2)
If you wanna be free, just praise G-o-d
Put your hands up (Hey!) (x2)
Freedom (x5)
Everything I have
Everything I own
All my mistakes, girl, you already know
I wanna be free (x4)
