In the whole African American Music there is a kind of specific speech that is directly influenced for the history of African American people.The slavery is a cultural factor that can't be denied, that factor made several consequences in the African American people and their culture. They have been claiming for freedom since they were taken from their home. The several musical expresions are a way to express the call to freedom.

Freedom is not so simple as say free or liberty. The speech of freedom is involved with politics characteristics. This freedom speech means freedom to build and help to develope their country, freedom to be a competitor of the politic, freedom to be active citizens. That kind of speech of freedom mean be involved like active partaker of her country and the project of her nation.


Lyrics:

Whisper, listen, whisper, listen. Whispers say we're free.
Rumors flyin', must be lyin'. Can it really be?
Can't conceive it, can't believe it. But that's what they say.
Slave no longer, slave no longer, this is Freedom Day.
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day. Throw those shackle n' chains away.
Everybody that I see says it's really true, we're free.
Whisper, listen, whisper, listen. Whispers say we're free.
Rumors flyin', must be lyin'. Can it really be?
Can't conceive it, don't believe it. But that's what they say.
Slave no longer, slave no longer, this is Freedom Day.
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day. Throw those shackle n' chains away.
Everybody that I see says it's really true, we're free.
Freedom Day, it's Freedom Day. Free to vote and earn my pay.
Dim my path and hide the way. But we've made it Freedom Day.
