Something About Us - CLAY AIKEN



Something About Us - CLAY AIKEN

Stop the music, play the song
We'll dance together all night long
The spotlight glows, somehow it knows,
That there's something about us
Something about us

People smile when they walk by
There's too much magic to deny
A fool can see we're meant to be
'cause there's something about us,
something about us

The words on every poet's tongue
Every love song ever sung
about us, it's about us
From Romeo and Juliet,
to plays they haven't written yet
It's old and new, it's a classic tale of two
of our perfectly perfect love

You can see it in our ways
in how we spend our nights and days
A crazy laugh, a photograph
There's just something about
something about us

The words on every poet's tongue
Every love song ever sung
about us, it's about us
From Romeo and Juliet,
to plays they haven't written yet
It's old and new, it's a classic tale of two
of our perfectly perfect love

So stop the music, play the song
And we'll dance together all night long
We'll reminisce of moments like this
Cause there's something about us
something about us
yes, there something about us....

Where I Draw The Line - CLAY AIKEN



Where I Draw The Line - CLAY AIKEN

It's all as it should be
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
I melt every time we kiss
I never felt anything like this
It's almost too perfect
And just like the thunder brings the rain
Something beautiful brings on the pain

It looks like it's going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don't know how
I've been here one to many times
Seems like whenever I let somebody get this close
I'm right back where I got hurt the most
And that's why, oh that's why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

I wish I could just forget
Not have one more regret behind me to remind me
What I've given up
Could I ever live with this
Knowing that I might have missed my last chance
For love to find me
I could stay here drowning in the rain
Unless you have the strength to save me
Nothing's going to change

And it's going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don't know how
I've been here one to many times
Seems whenever I let somebody get this close
I'm right back where I got hurt the most
And that's why, oh that's why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

Either you're gonna rescue me
Or you're gonna be the death of me

It's going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don't know how
I've been here one to many times
Whenever I let somebody get this close
I'm right back where I got hurt the most
And that's why, oh that's why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

Around my heart is where I draw the line

The Real Me - CLAY AIKEN



The Real Me - CLAY AIKEN

Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
And you love me just as I am
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me

Everything I Don't Need - CLAY AIKEN



Everything I Don't Need - CLAY AIKEN

Get out of my dreams
There's no room left
Get out of my bed.
we did goodbye yesterday
Don't you think I heard what you said

You want to much
You play to hard

Well, well you invade my morning light again
Don't wanna answer the phone
I went to sleep last night angry
I'm sure I was alone
You know me well
Always ring my bell

And tell me what would I want from you
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
But it has to stop
You're everything
Everything I don't need.

I don't wanna listen to answers
To the questions I didn't ask
It's all about you I wanna move out
before the breakdown starts.

It's all wrong
Won't you let me go

And tell me what would I want from you
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
But it has to stop
You're everything
Everything I don't need.

You fill my head
You block my view
It's killing me
You're everything I don't need

If it's all I do I'll be free cause you've taken everything
Everything I don't need
What would I want from you ohhhh
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do.
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
but it has to stop
You're everything
ohhhh
everything I don't need.

Last of a dying breed
Everything I don't need

Weight Of The World - CLAY AIKEN



Weight Of The World - CLAY AIKEN

Has anybody else but me
Ever felt this way before
Like the world is spinning much too fast
And you're falling through the floor

Struck by lightning
It's so frightening
When the morning feels like war
Unbreakable, don't you wish you were unbreakable

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don't get down on you
Don't you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin' to carry the weight of the world

Some folks say that we've been blessed
And I know deep down they're right
But when you're feelin' cold, alone and desperate
And can't get through the night

It seems the only time you test your wings
Is when you're crashing through the sky
Unbreakable, don't you wish you were unbreakable

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don't get down on you
Don't you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin' to carry the weight of the world

Has anybody else but me ever felt this way before

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don't get down on you
Don't you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin' to carry the weight of the world

I know it's hard to see
From where you are right now
I know it's hard to breathe
Just let the world go round round round

As Long As We're Here - CLAY AIKEN



As Long As We're Here - CLAY AIKEN

Why do we have to fight?
Why can't spend our time... trying?
I wanna be close to you
Keep love from slipping through... my hands
The words said in anger aimed at someone
Are hard to take back once the damage is done

Let's stop now....

As long as we're here... alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you... for all that it's worth
And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly...

Let's make the most of of our time
As long as we're here... (yeah...)

Some people live their lives
Holding their fears... inside them
Afraid to build windows
To let the light of the world in...
They hide in the darkness of self-imposed walls
If they could just tear them down... they'd have it all

As long as we're here... alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth
And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly...

Let's make the most of of our time
As long as we're here... (yeah... yeah... yeah...)

When you're with me.... I breathe easy
You are my need .. right now love me

As long as we're here (as long as we're here)
I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you)
And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly...

As long as we're here... alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth
And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly...

Let's make the most of of our time
Oh.. make the most of our time
As long as we're here...
As long as we're here...

Sacrificial Love - CLAY AIKEN



Sacrificial Love - CLAY AIKEN

Sometimes I feel like
I'm chasing the shadows in your eyes
Losing my footing and looking for something
I recognize

You tell me you're here for forever
But act like you're passing through
Which one's the real you
Which one's the real you

[Chorus]
Are you only
Practicing until you find the real thing
Taking up space
Until you find yourself that perfect face
Are you looking
Over my shoulder
Am I enough
Or just your sacrificial love

I know when we started
That I kind of talked you into this
I was good for the moment
But now something's missing
From your kiss

I see you lying beside me
But I feel you're moving on
Which one's the real you
Which one's the real you

[Chorus]
Are you only
Practicing until you find the real thing
Taking up space
Until you find yourself that perfect face
Are you looking
Over my shoulder
Am I enough
Or just your sacrificial love

Do I have to spill my tears
Teach you how to say goodbye
If that's not what I am to you
Then what am I
What am I

[Chorus]
Are you only
Practicing until you find the real thing
Taking up space
Until you find yourself that perfect face
Are you looking
Over my shoulder
Am I enough
Or just your sacrificial love

Lover All Alone - CLAY AIKEN



Lover All Alone - CLAY AIKEN

Maybe I've convinced myself
I've really been in love
And I've been wrong all along
For all I know the feeling
And the picture that I've tried
So hard to find isn't mine

Could be its all just a waiting game
Wanna share my everything

And on my own
It's hard to tell my heart it will be alright
This love it holds will one day find a home
As hard as love can be
It's harder still it seems
To be a lover all alone without love

Picking up the pieces makes me wonder if
I only build it all to watch it fall
The faster it can go away it means the less of me
Is gone to stay and I'm ok

But lonesome tomorrow comes anyway
I'm alone for another day,
Another day

And on my own
It's hard to tell my heart it will be alright
That this love it holds will one day find a home
As hard as love can be
It's harder still it seems
To be a lover all alone without love

And on my own
It's hard to tell my heart it will be alright
That this love it holds will one day find a home
As hard as love can be
It's harder still it seems
To be a lover all alone without love
A lover all alone without love

Maybe I've convinced myself
I've really been in love
But I've been wrong all along

Forget I Ever Knew You - CLAY AIKEN



Forget I Ever Knew You - CLAY AIKEN

I lie awake while the rest of the world sleeps happily
I'm tossing and turning in the dark
I try to make some sense of the mess that calls itself my life
Just wish I knew where I should start

I'd go back in time if I could
and erase you from my mind for good
I get so tired of trying
Maybe I should just...

Fly away let my heart pretend
My dream comes true and the story ends
I get on my feet and start again
And forget I ever knew you
I leave the past and rise above
I let you go and fall in love
With everything that I'm made of
Say goodbye to all I've been through
And forget I ever knew you

I turn the page I've got nothing to say but I'll start writing anyway
Something that gets me moving on again
Stuck in this place I'm putting one foot in front of the other foot
Maybe today I'll let this be over and done again

I'd make up my mind if I could
And leave this all behind me for good
I'm getting tired of trying
So maybe I should just...

Fly away let my heart pretend
My dream comes true and the story ends
I get on my feet and start again
And forget I ever knew you
I leave the past and rise above
I let you go and fall in love
With everything that I'm made of
Say goodbye to all I've been through
And forget I ever knew you

The sun can shine a little brighter now
I'm gonna make it on my own somehow
And I will start feeling alive again, yeah

I'll start living life with no regrets
'Cause the best hasn't happened yet
I'm just fine with you out of my life

I'll just, fly away let my heart pretend
My dream comes true and the story ends
I get on my feet and start again
And forget I ever knew you
I leave the past and rise above
I let you go and fall in love
With everything that I'm made of
Say goodbye to all I've been through
And forget I ever knew you
And forget I ever knew you

I never knew you
Say goodbye to all I've been through
And forget I ever knew you

It's In Everyone Of Us - CLAY AIKEN



It's In Everyone Of Us - CLAY AIKEN

It's in everyone of us
to be wise
Find your heart
open up both your eyes,
We can all know everything
without ever knowing why,
It's in everyone of us
by and by ..

It's in everyone of us
to be wise,
Find your heart

It's in everyone of us
I just remembered
it's like I been sleeping for years,
I'm not awake as I can be
but my seeing is better,
I can see ..
through the tears,
I've been realizing that,
I bought this ticket
and watching only half of the show,
There is scenery and lights
and a cast of thousands,
Who all know
what I know,
And it's good
that it's so ..

It's in everyone of us
to be wise
Find your heart
open up both your eyes,
We can all know everything
without ever knowing why,
It's in everyone of us
by and by,
It's in everyone of us
by and by..

I'm On Your Side Oh When Times Get Rough
And Friends Just Can't Be Found

Proud Of Your Boy - CLAY AIKEN



Proud Of Your Boy - CLAY AIKEN

Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma
You're in for a pleasant surprise

I've wasted time
I've wasted me
So say I'm slow for my age
A late bloomer, Okay, I agree

That I've been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I'll get over these lousin' up
Messin' up, screwin' up times

You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part
Someone's gonna make good
Cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy

Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer
You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
But that couldn't be all that I am

Water flows under the bridge
Let it pass, let it go
There's no good reason that you should believe me
Not yet, I know, but

Someday and soon
I'll make you proud of your boy
Though I can't make myself taller
Or smarter or handsome or wise

I'll do my best, what else can I do ?
Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you
Mom, I will try to
Try hard to make you
Proud of your boy

Solitaire - CLAY AIKEN



Solitaire - CLAY AIKEN

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unshared
Until it died in his silence

And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken

And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaireee
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire

The Exodus Song (this Land Is Mine) - Andy Williams



The Exodus Song (this Land Is Mine) - Andy Williams

Artist: Andy Williams
Music written for 1960 film "Exodus" by Ernest Gold, who won an Oscar for the
score. Words added in 1961 by Pat "White Bucks" Boone as "This Land Is Mine."
Various versions charted in 1961 by Ferrante and Teicher (#2); Mantovani (#31);

This land is mine, God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain
Then I see a land where children can run free

So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong

Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong

To make this land our home
If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine

Moon River - Andy Williams



Moon River - Andy Williams

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

(Moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

(Moon River, Moon River)

Unchained Melody - Andy Williams



Unchained Melody - Andy Williams

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, "wait for me, wait for me"
"i'll be coming home, wait for me!"

Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me

Are You Sincere - Andy Williams



Are You Sincere - Andy Williams

Are you sincere when you say "i love you? "
Are you sincere when you say "i'll be true? "
Do you mean every word that my ears have heard?
I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?
Are you sincere? (are you sincere? )

Are you sincere when you say you miss me? (you miss me)
Are you sincere every time you kiss me? (you kiss me)
And are really mine every day, all the time?
I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?
Are you sincere? (are you sincere? )

Are really mine every day, all the time?
I'd like to know (I'd like to know)
Which way to go (which way to go)
Will our love grow ? (will our love grow? )
Are you sincere?

And Roses And Roses - Andy Williams

And Roses And Roses - Andy Williams

Words and Music by Ray Gilbert and Dorival Caymmi


Every day I sent another present
Just to let her know how very much I care
I wrote a little love note with each present
But it didn't seem to get me anywhere

My poor worried heart was almost certain
That this love affair would never be
Then I sent a dozen yellow roses and
From that moment she belonged to me

Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring
Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love

Roses, roses, roses, I thank you for saying what I couldn't say
Oh, what a wonderful way to tell her "I love you" each day
With roses and roses and roses of love

Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring
Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love
(Roses and roses and roses and roses of love)

FADE
Roses and roses and roses and roses of love

Almost There - Andy Williams



Almost There - Andy Williams

Words and Music by Jack Keller and Gloria Shayne
From the film "I'd Rather Be Rich" starring Andy Williams and Sandra Dee

Almost there, we're almost there
How wonderful, wonderful our love will be
For you, for me

We're almost there where we will share
A warm caress, tenderness, a dream come true
For me, for you

Love has waited such a long time
Now we're a kiss apart
Darling, this is the right time
To let the kisses start

For you're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes for we're almost there

You're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes for we're almost there
Almo-o-ost there
A-a-almost there

No need to cherish luxuries (cause everythin' come and go)
Even the life that you have is borrowed

[Interlude]
Akon (akon)
C'mon

[Verse 1]
This is the ultimate journey of your life
Where the weak die and the strong survive
Prepare to suffer 40 days and 40 nights
Strap on your boots because you got a long hike

[Chorus]
Just another journey, another journey into time
C'mon now
Just another journey, who ever thought I'd cross this line
Ohohohohoh

[Verse 2]

Walking through the dirty streets of Jersey (Jersey)
A dollar to my name searchin for that key
I'm tryin not to reincorinate my past
I'm tired from the game, took another path
Destination 95 Dirty South
Where the devil tried to realter my route
Creator took me by the hand and led the way-ay
to make the story short thats why I'm here today

[Chorus]

What about that day you said I wouldn't amount to shit
And about that day you kicked me out onto the bricks
What about that time you said I wouldnt make a dime
And about that time you said I couldn't make you mine
Destination to the bank overseas
Where Akons treated like royalty
Cause there's so much in this world i have to see-e
The wagon's rolling so jump in a follow me-e

[Breakdown]

Born and raised in Africa trying to make a scene
(trying to make a scene)
The best way to get to you is by this music thing
And you might believe

[Outro]

Akon (Akon)
C'mon (c'mon)

Lets take it to the streets
I traveled through the ghettos of America
Lets take it to the streets
I traveled through the ghettos of Africa
Lets take it to the streets
I traveled through the ghettos of Asia
Lets take it to the streets
I traveled through the ghettos all over

[Chorus]

In my journey yea (yea, yea)

You've been damaged, can't trust nobody
And I know that you can just move on
If you let your past go with the wind

I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't cause I came too far

[Verse 1:]
I trying to know what's going on
Echoes on my cellular phone
I know this couple I don't missing
Could it be the feds still listening
See I gat to beat those kisses

Interrogated my mum
Locked up half of my crew
But I can guarante one thing that t won't let you.

[Chorus:]
I won't let you lock me down
I won't let you push me round

I won't cause I came too far

[Verse 2:]
Devil's always watchin' me (watching me)
Evil's always stalkin me (stopping me)
God has been protecting me (protecting me)
And that's how I got this far
Cause when you look at me you'll see an angel
Can't believe I've been through half the things that I went through
Cause everyday I see a face (my face)
This come true by the human race (my race)
Please don't you judge me unless you know me
Cause I won't let you

(feat. Styles P)

[Styles P]
Locked up, they won't let me out,
And I had a long day in court **** stressed me out,
Won't gimme the bail they can't get me out,
Now I'm headed to the county,
Gotta do a bid here, I'm used to living luxurous,
I don't wana live here, the walls is gray the clothes is orange,
The phones is broke, the food is garbage,
A lot a niggas is livin with these circumstances,
Sp's the same I still murk ya manz'z ,
Drug money to rap money work advances,
Niggas ran and told that I shoulda murked to kansas,
Niga got popped for a murda attempt,
Knocked me on d block when I was burning the hemph,
Had a brick in the stash hope they don't take to a further extent,
Locked up and they wont let me out,
When I hit my cell block, niggas know the threat be out.

[AKON]
I'm steady tryna find a motive,
Why do what I do.
Freedom aint gettin no closer,
No matter how far I go,
My car is stolen, no registration,
Cops partolin, and now they done stop me,
And I get locked up,

[Chorus]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out

[Akon]
Headin up town to re up,
Back with a couple peeps,
Corner blocks on fire,
Under covers dressed as feens,
Makin so much money,
Products movin' fast,
Put away the stash,
And as I sold the last bag fucked around and got locked up

[CHORUS]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (my nigga I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont let me out, (I got locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (baby girl I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out

[Styles P]
Now that I'm locked up I rep two sets so
Ima ride or die and stay d blocked up
Two tooth brushes up,
Whoever wanted with p
When I walk by nigga get up,
Cuz I'm locked up they cant get me out,
I smoke a stick of haze when they stress me out,
Go and hit the bar when the reds be out,
Cant wait for the day when they let me out,

[Akon]
Cuz visitation no longer comes by,
Seems like they forgot about me,
Commissary is getting empty,
My cell mates getting food without me,
Can't wait to get out and move forward with my life,
Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right
But instead I get locked up

[CHORUS]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont let me out, (my nigga I'm locked up)

Never Gonna Get It - Akon



Never Gonna Get It - Akon

I’m from the hardknock acedemy
Automatically had to be
carryin automatics sprayin sparatic inaccuarate
Clips to the back of it
barrel cockin it immaculate
Learn to move packages in n out of los angeles
We savages, bustin off rounds
sprayin bannana clips
knockin pills off like Anna Nicole Smith
Shit, I’m in the hood walkin with choppers
Cock em and pop em coppers glauks be talkin like…
blockedie block, block I’ll probly popped hoffa and possibly jus forgot where I tossed em
this niggas obnoxious, me and top got your picture in the cockpit
she wanna pitstop, jus see how the cock spit
these boss’s deposit the profit they watch as we cop it
on top of the ostrich and fox’s
It use to be the lil guys in stress now ima boss where i’m from,
with the last stress on my chest

[Chorus:]
See I know you’ll like my swagger
No strap when i come through
Chain hangin like Ali Baba
Know me, yah Know how I Do
The way that i move nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
Cause i’m to smooth Nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
I thought you knew nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
You aint got a clue Nigga (yah neva gonna get it)

Who in the hell left the gate open? (Drama)
I’m pretty down for the wild, wild west
Like them 1800’s in em stage coaches
If I aint strapped then my blaze pokin
If it aint a 600 big body then the 6 4-0 honey is spokin
The drama spokesman, streets endorsed em
I rather be up in my nine then closed in my coffin
I’m from Wes Covina, this aint Compton
Still money passed around like we takin an offerin

I’m somethin like a phenoneman
when they see the sad happy faces they know the drama is on
Its the west coast back at your front door
We up close and personal, we aint done till the curtains close
Could be friend or foe, love it or hate it
I’m the king but i play with the Aces
run up to find out i keep it loaded like bases
Ya got wires in ya mouth but these ain’t braces

[Chorus:]
See I know you’ll like my swagger
No strap when i come through
Chain hangin like Ali Baba
Know me, yah Know how I Do
The way that i move nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
Cause i’m to smooth Nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
I thought you knew nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
You aint got a clue Nigga (yah neva gonna get it)

See when I walk through the door
I wonderin why these fake Niggas Jackin me for?
On display like i came from the store
Posin like a manequin in front of your hoe
Up front block Rollin 50 deep now
Convicts Surround the whole compound
Cause you dont really want what your starin at
Clip full of Bullets, dont mind sharin that thing

[Chorus:]
See I know you’ll like my swagger
No strap when i come through
Chain hangin like Ali Baba
Know me, yah Know how I Do
The way that i move nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
Cause i’m to smooth Nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
I thought you knew nigga (yah neva gonna get it)
You aint got a clue Nigga (yah neva gonna get it)

So Fly - Akon



So Fly - Akon

[Chorus]
Realizing livin life for me, always gettin into trouble
Cuz, im so fly
Im on a whole nother level
Left the block, and now im smiling countin money like
Realizing livin life for me, i done found another hustle
Cuz, im so fly
Im living life a lot better
Still keep a glock in case the jailers wanna hate tonight

[Verse 1]
Another day up in the hood, cant believe these cats still bangin (bangin)
Look at the years we wasted, on the corner block still slangin (slagin)
No matter how much we try to make peace, gun shots still rangin (rangin)
Cuz to be a hood legend, you die first, then become famous
Cuz i done seen this type of thing before
Just hangin out by the corner store
Stick up kids wit them guns galore
Layin there, body down, stretched on the floor
I thought about it, man im way too fly
To have a fella robbin me outside
Thats why i keep that thing by my side
And down every blessin while im screamin out

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I hate to say it but the people that surrounding me
Are way too shady
The only people i can trust is my family and my lady
All my dogs got guns
Ready for action
They wont betray me
Your the type to run
Or to hold my tongue
When it gets crazy
See i been through this type of thing before
Even had trouble with the law
On the couch when the smash my door
But they wont find the cash stashed under the floor
I never could understand the problem
I was the one to pull the shoulders drop
Couldnt live this type of life no more
So i had a part of me screamin out

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Im in blue, wit them BF frames
Walkin on lean, while mind chain hangs
Drivin somethin, pronounce mad strange
Never mad cool, cuz i been through flames
Walk wit a limp, cuz i been through games
Now shes a ho, cuz she been through gangs
Beef wit ghats for a small chunk change
Im rich now, thats more chunk change
The cops know slang
Man get the picture before u out the frame
Call me heart throb, cuz im so fame
Couldnt come close if u sat in my Range
My scars can prove but im passion and pain

[Chorus]

Struggle Everyday - Akon



Struggle Everyday - Akon

Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow

[Verse 1:]
I need to take it slow
My heart is growing cold
I'm trying to hide my feelings
From the people that I know
and everywhere I go I'm trying to lay low
Can't afford to get in no trouble because I'm on parole

I'm trying to live life right
God knows with all my might
But I'm just barely getting by
Cuz money's way too tight
And I can say this right
The struggle and the fight
It's weakin' all the muscles in my body like kryptonite
Making me feel like there is no other way
But the different streets get that dough
Living and praying for a better day...So!

[Chorus: x2]
Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow

[Verse 2:]
Streets, I ain't no longer on it
Don't need feds all upon it
I done left that life alone
Cuz all I did was impress, my homie!
And then my conscience told me
"Careful you tendarone!"
Always complaining after I ain't never did
She always lonely. So what am I to do
Gotta get money for food, cuz if she starves to death
Then I gotta deal with her attitude
And I in that type of mood cuz I ain't type of dude
It's bad enough, I gotta deal with all this I'm going thru
It's making me feel like there is no other way
But the different streets get that dough
Living and praying for a better day...So!

[Chorus: x4]
Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow

[Akon]
Hey-Aye!
Upfront, Konvict
Hey-Aye, OoO Yeaa!

[Akon]
I gotta find a way to get outta here [x2]
This ain’t the way that I wanna live, no
This ain’t the way somethin’ gotta give
In a rush, rush (gotta keep on movin’)
I’m in a rush, rush (gotta keep on movin’) [x3]

[Akon]
Cause I find myself on the fast track side to life, drivin’ me crazy
In the hood daylight to night and you can find me grindin’ daily
And it ain’t gon’ change as long as we getting money keep the same mind frame
Same hood, betta pop that thang, same big whip on the block same fly dame
Wit my lady just rollin’, with the sunshine and the wind blowin’
Gotta keep my mind cleared from all this crime hopefully one day learn from it, but

[Akon]
I gotta find a way to get outta here [x2]
This ain’t the way that I wanna live, no
This ain’t the way somethin’ gotta give
In a rush, rush (gotta keep on movin’)
I’m in a rush, rush (gotta keep on movin’) [x3]

[Kardinal Offishall]
Girl, it’s like I can’t see the sun, six in the mornin’ I’m still on the run
Day to the night rushin’ around town tryin’ to get this done for the case come down
Gotta feed my fate, face to face with no place to race except straight
I can feel them close on my heels, gotta keep goin’ so I’m takin’ the wheel
Tryin’ to outrun my fears, outrun my peers, outrun the killers and escape them years
Yet again, so I take out my pen and say “If you find this letter please pray for me”

[Akon]
I gotta find a way to get outta here [x2]
This ain’t the way that I wanna live, no
This ain’t the way somethin’ gotta give
In a rush, rush (gotta keep on movin’)
I’m in a rush, rush (gotta keep on movin’) [x3]

[Akon]
Now can you picture me growin’ up on the bad side of town
Where them outlaws are hangin’ out all the women get down
Where cash moneys the only answer to problems around
And if ya missin’ your people most likely they underground
This cruel world, this cruel world
Leave this town forever, break away and just start err

[Akon]
I gotta find a way to get outta here [x2]
This ain’t the way that I wanna live, no
This ain’t the way somethin’ gotta give
In a rush, rush (gotta keep on movin’)

Konvict
Aye aye aye aye aye go gangsta
Aye aye aye aye aye go gangsta
Keep boppin'
Rock wit me
Let's get this bitch poppin'
Up front!
Go gangsta
Keep boppin'
Like back when a nigga was clockin'

See nowadays seems like everybody wanna be killas
Gorillaz gettin' high off their weed and liquor
You die quicker
Paramedics drive back slow to the hospital
You get pronounced dead before the hospital
Stop frontin' when you know you won't pull nothin'
First nigga to retreat when the tools bust
Playin' with it is bad for your health
All your homeboys are gone
You the last one left now
They heart's beatin' but these niggas be scared
The real ones are all locked up or dead
Nowadays you can't find a good connect
But if you do you might be the feds so

I don't know you
You don't know me
You don't know the history I got on these streets
Only when you see what my eyes have seen
Then you'll understand why I'm surrounded by G's
If you owe me and we got beef
I recommend you reach for your heat and don't freeze
Pause for a minute guaranteed you gonna bleed
Cause that's how we was raised
Growin' up in these streets

Go gangsta
Keep boppin
Rock wit me
Let's get this bitch boppin'
Go gangsta
Keep boppin'
Like back when a nigga was clockin'

See it's hard gettin' good
Easy to do evil
And I ain't really into meetin' wit new people
Just put the money in the bag and I'll leave you
Then we cop evesil
You make a hundred dollars
To the streets you made a G
When you coppin' hoes
They swearin' you move keys
Feds gettin' close
And the rats in the g's
And they tryin' to find those birds
Not the ones that sleep in trees
We got that bird
We got that blue
You want short skirts?
We got that too
Whatever ya need my nigga
Show me the cheese
And baby you can believe
That we can make that true

I don't know you
You don't know me
You don't know the history I got on these streets
Only when you see what my eyes have seen
Then you'll understand why I'm surrounded by G's
If you owe me and we got beef
I recommend you reach for your heat and don't freeze
Pause for a minute guaranteed you gonna bleed
Cause that's how we was raised
Growin' up in these streets

Aye aye... [in the background]
Go gangsta
Keep boppin
Rock wit me
Let's get this bitch boppin'
Go gangsta
Keep boppin'
Like back when a nigga was clockin'

Streets been watchin
And they don't blink
Sidewalk got ears
The pavement don't sleep
The fittest will survive
The weak just don't eat
Everybody in between just gettin' a rap sheet
The streets been watchin
And they don't blink
Sidewalk got ears
The pavement don't sleep
The fittest will survive
The weak just don't eat
Everybody in between just gettin' a rap sheet

I don't know you
You don't know me
You don't know the history I got on these streets
Only when you see what my eyes have seen
Then you'll understand why I'm surrounded by G's
If you owe me and we got beef
I recommend you reach for your heat and don't freeze
Pause for a minute guaranteed you gonna bleed
Cause that's how we was raised
Growin' up in these streets

Aye aye... [in the background]
Go gangsta
Keep boppin
Rock wit me
Let's get this bitch boppin'
Go gangsta
Keep boppin'
Like back when a nigga was clockin'

See it's hard gettin' good
Easy to do evil
And I ain't really into meetin' wit new people
See it's hard gettin' good
Easy to do evil
And I ain't really into meetin' wit new people
