Freedom to Love

Met this fine girl from Ghana

She from Ashanti tribe and she lives in Accra

Found out that she really like me

And I asked her can I be your man and she said yes

We dated for a couple of years then we

Settled down that we should get married

She said that we

We should go to her hometown

Where we can go see her daddy

So we can ask him for his blessings yeah

And for him to teach us lessons yeah

We asked daddy for blessing and

Daddy said no that he don’t want his baby to be with a Nigerian man

That he wants an Ashanti man o

That she’ll need a real good man that will Treat her right and that’s not Nigerian

I need freedom to love like I want to

And if you love me like you say you do

You’ll give me freedom to love like I want to

And if love is a crime then I am a criminal

Call the police arrest me when you see me now

Cuz if you say you love me

You’ll give me freedom to love who I want to

Freedom to love oh

I sat down and I start to wonder

What I’ll tell her father

To accept my offer eh

He told me that I shouldn’t bother

That he got another man that can love her well

I told him that she really like me

And she want us to be together forever

He said I should go back to my country

I should go back to my city

That I’ll see girls that will really like me

I’ll still get a pretty wifey

But I told him that I loved his daughter

And she stepped out that moment and said

Daddy no no no

I’ve been listening to u since I was born

But gimme this one chance to make my o o own decisions

Just gimme the choice of love

I need freedom to love like I want to

And if you love me like you say you do

You’ll give me freedom to love like I want to

And if love is a crime then I am a criminal
