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)
