Hive Open Mic Week 205 - Freedom by Akon (cover)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


The song, "Freedom," resonates with me on so many levels, it gives me the urge to embrace the essence and pursuit of freedom.

The powerful lyrics by Akon, coupled with a soulful melody, gives me a different experience that lingers long after the song ends each time I listen to it.

It delves into my struggles and aspirations, touching upon my desire for self-expression. We are all striving for a life from limitations but societal pressures and the quest for freedom keep reminding me that it's not just about external constraints but also internal battles.

The urge to be free is something we do not get to give up on, despite so many challenges and setbacks, the consistent pursuit of freedom and refusing to be shackled by circumstances serves as a beacon of hope, which inspires me to persevere despite trials and tribulations.
Freedom is more than just a song:

It tells us to live boldly and authentically, to break free from the chains that bind us, and to embrace the boundless possibilities that await us.

It reminds us that the journey is always worth it, though it may not be smooth, but we always get there eventually.
Let the message in this beautiful work of art stick with you as you keep working towards what is rightfully yours.

LYRICS

Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free

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
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free
So I search to find my
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
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 don't think I'm cool
And because of that I didn't care
Whether or not I went to jail
I just wanna be treated fair
'Cause 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
Foreigner 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
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free
Won't stop 'til I find my
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes girl, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free

If you wanna be free, and the land is drug free
Put your hands up, put your hands up
If you wanna be free, from all your misery
Put your hands up, put your hands up
If you wanna be free, with plenty money
Put your hands up, put your hands up
If you wanna be free, just praise G.O.D.
Put your hands up, put your hands up

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes girl, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free, yeah
