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 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

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 ..

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)
