Hook (Akon)
Everybody I know– around my ways still there–(e) everybody’s still
there– and waiting for a miracle to pass them by-(e) bybybyby by–
most of them are known drug dealers- and I know them well–yes I know
then well– that’s the only way they know how to
survive–(e)vive…..–its the way to get by- (e) its the way to get
by– its the only way to get by–cuz if I had a choice aside from this
life– God knows ill try– to get away
Verse 1 (Naledge)
I was born by the river in a little tent– I didn’t know that, that
river had a little bend– they took me out of the country to find a
better life– I grew up into the jungle to fight a better fight– a
creation to all that’s mighty- on this greener earth– with all the
tretchery all the pain it really hurts– I find it difficult to look
into a mans face– its not the pain- I’m just affraid to show too much
of me–sometimes, I have to ponder thoughts of all my felonies- and
wonder if these are the reasone for this tragedy– daily I swear I try
to walk as if a better man– I even call on the lord to guide me
through the land-land-land-

Verse 2 (Naledge)
He had his visions and trusting no one– he kept it going– the only
thing on his mind– was how he was gonna show it–the rain it pours as
the misery- wants to take his glory– affordin meals on the daily–
sometimes a different story– somehow they say it was spiritual–
mamama hits the bible– the cloud they callin this generation– Is
kinda vital–with four of Gods Generosity, walkin–gotta make it– its
hard to know that ill never fit– where others made it– the wounds
have festerd a many a years– its time to heal em- gathering energy
from the losses– for a different story– they said his stars were
shackled down– and kept him from the crown– inside the cave with
lions venom– fury-fire-bring it–lets go!

Verse 3
look at the faces of all of the people– they tellin me- its like you
washed up nigga- you’ll neva eva be– because his life has been
riddled with soo much dissapointment– just gotta take it for what it
is– and keep up on her– its like no matter which way he walks– a
pits up on him– deep in the darkness- he battles with the demons
call– speakin through different evaluations of tapestry– fuck it I
wake up with everymornin– and hit the weights– sometimes I thik
about goin bak to throwin weights- and riding trains through cities–
its just to make a wage– Ago is where I reside– lagos is where i
be– lately I’ve been on ma hustle nigga– I’ve been on ma grind
